Listing description

Yes that car has been discussed here before on another thread. Yes it's in Canada-Winnipeg I think-and was originally an auto. Vin is 124379N620192 out of Baldwin NY. Not a "Motion" conversion car just a COPO that was sold out of there. It's in the registry here just above the 50th ZL1 car in the list.

69 copo
 

Hi u mention in ur post there is a copo registry we’re can I find this registry info as u did

Anyone know if the Baldwin COPO sold ?

Ya it did sell to some guy up in B.C. Canada

That's interesting - a Baldwin Chevrolet COPO. I asked Joel Rosen why he didn't take advantage of the COPO program in 1969 - why was he still converting L78s into L72s. He told me he had no idea the program existed.

There is more then one.
And they were ordered early.
I think there were at least 10 COPOs ordered by Baldwin Motion.

It's just Baldwin Auto,not Baldwin Motion,which was Joel Rosens' separate speed shop where he did the modifying.

Okay. Ordered by Joel Rosen through Baldwin Auto.

I don’t think Joel Rosen had anything to do with the batch of COPOs ordered through Baldwin Auto.

Here is some of BM COPOs

The top and bottom photos look to be Bob McDonald COPOs that may have had the Motion treatment. The middle car is not a COPO, it’s a Motion shop car (SS 427 conversion) that was displayed at the NY auto show and then later sold to Brooklyn Heavy.

Its a COPO 9561

Heres a Picture of Passionate Persimmon / Brooklyn Wild Pumpkin.
And she is a COPO 9561 probably a COPO 9511 also.
Today she has Endura Bumper.
Mach 1 mirrors is painted and are going to be assembled this spring.

How can you be sure your car is the same as the Baldwin Motion car pictured? Has Joel Rosen authenticated it? Also, wasn’t your car originally blue? That would mean Motion did a full color change on a brand new car in 1969. Joel Rosen and Martyn Schorr have both explicitly stated that Motion never ordered COPOs for their 427 super car conversions so I’m just a little confused how it could be a double COPO.

Oh my Lord that is beautiful!

Yes she was Glacier Blue when she left the plant but was painted Orange and had Passionate Persimmons written along side of it.
But before the auto show it was painted orange again but with black Hockey stick.
You can look at the hockey stick close to the bumper.
She also have Brooklyn Wild Pumpkin, Heavy, Heavys Camaro. NHRA Champion written that shows through the paint.
I have pictures when they painted it and it also shows Pats Speed Center written in Gold.
I have talked to Martyn Schoor.

Heres a Picture of her at the NY Auto Show.
Look at the Hockey Stick by the bumper

What did Martyn have to say about it?

I was going to copy what was said on FB but it seems to have been removed. I informed him about the Camaron and I told him he could check it out with Joel Rosen and he didnt have to say anything to me about the result.
Martyn is a member here so he might be able to comment

You should reach out to Joel directly about it. Being a demo shop car that was at the auto show, he would remember the car better than a customer order, and surely he would remember a color change from blue to orange.

Ive talked to Joel Rosen and he wanted me to wait until the Pandemic is over.
Dan Palchanes told me before he disappeared that I had the BM Demo - Brooklyn Heavys Camaro. He spend some time with Rufus Boyd before he passed away.
Also Heavy told Dan that it was a COPO.

Have you run a shipping data report for the car?

Its a 01B car and the there no data or info on Camaro from mid Aug to end of Jan on Norwood Camaros.
VIN is 124379N580532
Nothing on NICB either

Would you mind posting up a picture of the trim tag?

If I had to guess. Joel wanted it to have some psychedelic paint so it would stand out at the NY auto show. It also has numbers painted all over it together with Passion Persimmon. He probably dident like it as it turned out. So they painted it Orange again but with D90 stripes

TT Better pic

Look at the paint

In the older photo above it looks like the marker lights were painted orange. Also appears the stripe from the auto show passed through the fender emblem where now it doesn't and of course the stinger stripe is now gone. I assume the car has been painted orange again since the auto show photo?

Look again at the old Pictures.
And you can see numbers and letters.
This Camaro have been painted multi times.
When Heavy had it they painted it a couple times a year

She had Stinger Hood at NY Auto Show.
And when Heavy bought her it got Stinger Hood

Just so I am understanding you correctly. This car was originally a COPO ordered by Baldwin and then converted by Motion or was a 396 car ordered by Baldwin and then converted by Motion? Sorry if I am dense just wanna make sure I am understanding the history of the car.

Ordered COPO 9561 converted to SS427 Phase lll
