I know this is an old post but I have a few things that I would like to state about this car. I was called by Chris and asked if Scuncio sold a burnished brown C.O.P.O Camaro,I told him I would like to see the car. After looking the car over all the sign's point to a 427 car. The car has a factory cowl induction set up and you can tell it has been on the car for years,the hood is even burnished brown under the blue paint. The car also has a single 3/8 fuel line that has been on the car forever aswell. I know every one has stated that the rear end date is off,but it may have been a swap out of another car. This is a small state we live in and a lot of these 427 cars came out of Scuncio,so its not that hard to beleive that it my have come out of another car. The owner ship of this car has been traced back to 1977 and at that time it had a small block with a saginaw trans and from looking at the car that was not original. I will not say,yes or no to it being a 427 car at this time. The car was sold new from Scuncio,the NICB proves that and the Scuncio "Hi Performance" emblem fits in the holes in the tail lamp panel. The car has not been touched at all from the time Chris brought the car home,and he would like to know the history of the car before the resto starts on the car. I will have some pictures to post later of the car for others to see. I have some other info on this car but at this time I will keep it to myself. There will also be an new post about the car on another site,there is a good freind of mine that can not post on this site so maybe Team camaro would be a great place to start a new one about this car.

Chuck,I know what to look for on a factory cowl hood car. From looking at this car it was that way from the factory.

i have it 418 units from another car 05d x11, i would take off the ss emblem and try to lightly strip off the paint underneath to see if there was a bowtie there at one time, do a careful tear down and be checking for any crayon marks on the body panels or trans crossmember etc. i have heard that easy off oven cleaner works pretty good for this.
