Daytona Yellow 69 Camaro

[Kurt S]

I'm confused, maybe.
9N580532 is the Brahms car.
It is an X22 SS396 car.
Carleen is saying that the "Speed Shop" RS and the Brooklyn Heavy (white with red blocks) are the same car?
Is it also the Motion demo and Brooklyn Heavy Wild Pumpkin (J&L) with SS markings?

he has something interesting but I'm not sure what it is.

I don't know if the Brooklyn Heavy (white with red blocks) Camaro is the same car as the Motion demo and Brooklyn Heavy Wild Pumpkin

I say this because Brooklyn Heavy had a 2nd gen Camaro race car before the (white with red blocks) Camaro (I think)

also the (white with red blocks) Camaro picture looks like mid 1970s era set up 69 Camaro.

The 69 Camaro body became a popular build in the mid 1970s for some drag classes

an example is the Motion red white blue Camaro from mid 1970s

Brooklyn Heavy had a lot of cars in the 1970's and maybe he saved or bought back his 69 Camaro but maybe he bought another 69 race car

1975 Heavy was put behind bars and Centerline started produce Wheels in 1970

I came in contact with a Guy on facebook from Novia Scotia named Leo.
He had some pictures and info about Motion COPOs.
Bob Mcdonalds Chevrolet

RS COPO 69 Camaro in Nova Scotia, Canada...that came of Motion Perf & was delivered by Joel himself & a 69 COPO Chevelle...both cars where delivered to Bob McDonald's Chevrolet Dealership & raced by Gil Trembley from Moncton NB

[Carleen]

More Bob Mcdolnads Motion COPOs

Ronnie Locke posing with one of his Camaro’s in front Bob McDonald’s speed shop on Kemp’s Rd, 1969
Another special build Motion COPO 427/450 hp , best ET 11.14

That was one of first 69 COPO cars from motion performance that was supposed to be shipped to Europe .
Ronnie didn't like the stinger hood so it got changed to a scooped hood .
It was a Motion Supercar . 427/450 hp and turned 10.91 with Joel Rosen at the wheel at Drag City upon delivery on an open trailer from NY . .
Ronnie turned 11.31 same day same car .

Found some more about the Chevelle
Has all the documentation Permts , Letter from Joel Rosen / Motion letterhead etc etc
Motion Perf added rear air bags , 50/50 rear 90/10 front shocks , headers , traction bars , MSD ignition , cool can , dyno tuned engine , re- jetted Holley carb , different cam & lifters , roller rockers , etc etc . Arrived in Halifax ready to race same as any Motion car shipped

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 .

It arrived from Motion like that except the Ss427 grille emblem that came off a full sized Impala SS427 in the new car stock and was cut to fit grille moulding. . It had a blue bow tie crest for 300 deluxe . Gil wanted it changed so it was changed in the yard . . The wheel well mouldings etc and badges were on it from Motion . Possible that they were added in US . To my knowledge the rear SS emblem was factory . The car has been disputed since it arrived in Canada in 1969 ? It was a real hassle to get Reg. Of . Motor Vehicles to register it as non commercial ( passenger) vehicle due to being listed for commercial use only . That's what I recall . Car sat for months without plates and letters flying between GM and Bob McDonald to get it designated for passenger usage . Once we finally got it registered it was mid summer 69 .

Its the one to the left
