----I had an original engine very early 67 Camaro 350SS a long time ago. It had a 327 from the factory and I have also heard that other early 67 350SS Camaros came with 327s due to production problems with the 350s. Seems plausible and I had one!.......Bill S

The MU code on the POP designates that this car was originally equipped with a 350 ci 295hp L48. The unique feature for the SS Camaro was the 350 ci engine, because it was the first Chevrolet to get this engine. I guess anything could happen, but I'm not buying 327ci SS Camaros.

Didn't Fisher Body install the seats? Wouldn't the trim tag reflect the change in interior code? Or since it was a special case and other than a few exchange parts nothing else had to be modified to make this happen and the firebirds were made at the same time but at Lordstown Plant. So the assembly process didn't have to change.

I know the 1968 Chevelles that used Buick seats as a result of strike going on at that time used a different trim code on there trim tag. This was on a much larger scale than this specific example. Just curious.

This is certainly an odd ball car. The interior is coded 711 = gold deluxe bucket seats. How would the interior get changed without some special instructions. Did they have the firebird interior delivered from the Lordstown plant to Norwood. When it was at MCACN I wish I had looked at the car. I have a lot of ??????
