I don't know if the blue RS ZL1 would be a COPO (?)

Did any of the 69 Baldwin/Motion Camaros start life as a COPO? Or were they all transplant cars? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

According to Joel (at SCR6) he did not use any COPO cars for his conversions... although someone (JoeC maybe?) Posted an old CARS magazine article that showed a Motion 69 Camaro that SURE did look like a COPO to me... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

You're right, I was thinking of the ZL1 'vettes.

Both Joel and Marty Schorr have been very consistent over the years in stating that they had no knowledge of the COPO program. I also have the article that Joe C. referred and the car is clearly a base car non-SS, however, it could have been a customer car modified by Motion.

As far as emblem go on a 69 BM car, I have not seen a vintage BM picture showing one, however, these emblems were available late in 69 per the Motion catalog, so I think it would not be incorrect to have them on a late 69 Motion car. On my 69 which is a very late car and has a 10E build date, I am using the "SS427" emblems on the exterior and the polished valve covers with motion emblems.

COPO, how about sharing some pics of your B/M Camaro. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Would love to see it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

If you went to SCR6, you got to see Joel signing the trunk lid. If you go to SCR7 you'll get to see the car finished and running down the track. It is still undergoing a frame-off restoration. Next time I go up to the shop, I'll take a few pictures as it has just recently been sprayed. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

I remember that Charlie.
I would like to see the rest of that Car too.
