COPO built in Oshawa , dropped shipped to Motion ,trailered to Halifax by Joel Rosen and Joel Black ( Black Max funny car ) . Gil drove it several weeks sponsored by Bob McDonald Speed Shop but was disgualified due to 300 deluxe interior & SS exterior trim . As Hi Performance manager / Speed Shop manager , I bought the car and Gil's got a 427 COPO / Motion Maroon Camaro to race .

Its the one to the left
I thought there were no L72 cars built in Oshawa, same goes for L78 & LS6. Does the car have a VVS report?

If you have a laptop and a good Reading glasses, tilt the screen a little back so you can see that something is written under the paint. Note also the numbers below the Quarterside glass.

That one has been discussed here before. I believe the general consensus was that it was a catalog built car, which may or may not be an original BB car. I shared that Facebook post onto the Motion group and Gary "the local brush" chimed in and said the stripe is incorrect for that model year. It was probably put together in the 70's using a Motion mail order catalog and then painted using a 2nd gen Camaro paint scheme. I spoke to the current owner who lives in Tennessee. He said he bought it out of Connecticut in 2013 and has no documentation on it at all. I told him to run the NCRS shipping data report and depending on what that says, contact Joel Rosen for authentication. I am sure that when this car surfaced on ebay in 2011, many people already contacted Joel about it.
