Great vintage Camaro & owner picture!
 
These old pictures are great. Take a look and see if you can tell what the car really is! And it was originally sold and driven here in NJ!

nice!

A JL8 Camaro? :)

JL8Jeff 09-09-2008 08:07 AM

Nope, this is an original COPO 427 car. It's pretty unique having a blue deluxe interior. It was known here in NJ as the Blue Mule. Originally sold at Malcom Konner Chevrolet. They sold a lot of hi-po cars. All past owners of the car have been found and contacted which is where the picture came from. Pretty cool. Looks like a stripped down 6 cyl car except for the cowl hood!

Damn, you gave away the answer too fast.

Looks like an X11 car, though.

Yup, it has the style trim group which gives you the wheel opening moldings, rear quarter louvers, headlight trim, roofrail drip moldings and I think the wheel opening pinstriping. The car looks so plain other than that cowl hood. One of the best sleepers ever built.

great vintage stuff, there. i wish i had pictures of some of the cars i've owned, if for nothing more than to reminisce...

chrisfrom nj 09-09-2008 09:22 AM

the car looked great

2RARE84s 09-09-2008 10:25 AM

The car looks great, but is that guy a Giant!? :-?

jin1481 09-09-2008 12:48 PM

i was going to say it was just a sport coupes or whatever they called the V6 models, those copo's really were some serious sleepers.

You could order spoilers on just about any Camaro so it was an option on the COPO cars as well.

Yeah, RPO D80 could be had on anything for the most part.

JL8Jeff 09-12-2008 04:58 PM

I'm not sure, I'll ask the 3rd owner of the car, he's been in touch with him.

chevyt454 09-13-2008 05:22 PM

Sweet!

NastyEllEssWon 09-13-2008 05:43 PM

let me know she said her neighbor looked just like that and had the same color camaro. it would be hilarious if it was.

JL8Jeff 09-13-2008 06:51 PM

He said the original owner lived in Woodbridge and the second owner was in Lake Parsippany. Not from Ewing.

NastyEllEssWon 09-14-2008 02:23 AM
