'67 SS 427 Chevelles.....

[COPO]

The '67 BM Chevelle was the one and only SS 427 Chevelle built by Motion in '67 so at least one documented car exists. There is a good write-up with pictures in the Motion book that was recently published. The car started as an L-78 396 from the factory and then got an aluminum head Motion built 427 before it was sold as a new car through Baldwin Chevrolet.

The usual question is whether the "factory" built a 427 Chevelle in 1967. We all know that dealers like Motion, Yenko, and Fred Gibb also did transplants as well as using the COPO ordering system to a do an end run around the normal system. Any other dealer could have installed a crate engine for a customer at his request. While the cars done by the big name dealers draw a much bigger dollar, I doubt that my local dealer's installs, had he done any, would grab the same attention or high dollar. Factory '67 427 Chevelles are about as rare as hens' teeth. We might see one yet some day. You just never know.
