Default Possible Dealer Built Camaro

I recently purchased a group of 12 basket case Camaros from a pack rat who has been collecting 25 years. One of the cars has be thinking it may have possibly been a dealer built car. The cowl tag decodes as a 67 396 rs/ss, or so the guy who owned it says, but he swears when he bought the car 15 years ago (Texas) that it had a blown 427 in it, whats left of the motor is the valve covers which are MT aluminum finned with the chevy logo on one and 427 on the other. What I find intriging is the rear end. It has a 12 bolt posi with some type of odd square traction bar? assemblies that requires two access plates to be cut in the floor under the rear seat. It appears to have been done years ago and looks original to the car. I remember reading something a long time ago about this set up, anyone know if something like this was native to any of the early dealer built cars? I have another post going on the classified page for anyone who would have an interest in a original intra office letter from ford concerning a secret visit to Nickey and Grand Spaulding Dodge to ascertain if Ford should conduct similar dealer operations. Thanks. <font color="red"> </font color> [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]
