Here's another shot from the 1/69 Rodder and Super Stock article called: "SS 427 Camaro How-To, Building a Mindbender."

This shows Bill Mitchell test-driving a new SS 427 conversion on the road in front of Motion Performance. This is the same car that's in the first photo at the top of this thread. Note the "427" emblems on the front fenders.

Not sure of this is the same Camaro in the other photos. Note ram-air and Stinger hood.

Mr. Rosen 'hisself' checks the timing on what appears to be the ram-air car.

Bill, that rear end in the picture maybe a 67. Look at the factory traction bar bracket.

I did notice that traction bar bracket a-la the '67. The article contains photos from several Motion Camaro build-ups so it could be a '67 car/diff in that photo. Good eye!
