Re: Jeff M.'s Original SS-427 Camaro
Yea.....Pos-o-tractions with Lakewood bars. Even has 4 degree wedges sandwiched in the bars. The car came with a blueprint sheet with all the "services Provided" and letter from Dick Arons (Booth & Arons)about the engine who did the motor for Bob Schmidt Chevrolet in Maumee, Oh back in 1970 when they raced the car (70-73). All the specs are there! BRC pistons w/.043 stainless top rings and more. The letter is even signed by Arons. And the cam? No, not .500 lift cam but a, get this, GENERAL KINETICS Cam. Intake 309Deg. .580 lift, Ext, 318 deg. .619 lift; 110 deg. C/L. I even had some old time slips from a race track(s) called Milan Dragway and Marion County Internt'l? 11.49 et/118.11 MPH When's the last time you say a Jerry Stahl Gear driven tach? It's in the Camaro!Going to post a few pics of when I bought from the 2nd owner. Thanks folks

Re: Jeff M.'s Original SS-427 Camaro
No, I think hes saying it was restored when no one knew what a 427 COPO was supposed to look like, and added the SS and 427 emblems from an Impala... Is the panel paint car in the above attachment the same car that is now yellow? if so, how do you say "there's not another as original as it" when there are several Yenko and COPO and ZL1 cars still wearing original paint? Not knocking the car, as it looks like a killer piece, just would like more insight on what it is exactly... looks to be a COPO car possibly, or was it an SS car that was converted?

Re: Jeff M.'s Original SS-427 Camaro
Maybe he's using Jim Brady's definition of 'original'
