Cool stuff Anders (Bruce too) ! Love the old articles. What's up with the reference to a '69 Chevelle not coming from the factory with a 427? Did they not know of COPO in 1984. And the featured/pictured BM Chevelle is a 68 not a 69.

I remember Mark Hassett telling me that when Joel Rosen visited the SCR (was it 6?)he said that he did not know about the possibility to order a 427 car from the factory. Mabye the author was so involved with Motion back in the day that he thought so too. Knowledge about COPO´s wasn´t widespread back in 1984, was it ? When I first saw my car in 1987 very few people over here knew what a COPO was.

Firebird spoilers weren't used on 69 Motion Camaros...they were a unique piece Joel had made. There was also an article which stated that this rear wing was from an Oldsmobile(if i remember correct) as well, which also isn't correct.
