You're probably correct, and it has been 35 years since I looked at that car. It sure looked factory to me, but I'm no expert, although I knew it was a one of a kind.
I found the badging, trim, paint and options to be quite unusual even at that time.
Either way, I'd love to find it now....and see what it really was....
If it were a COPO 427 car, could it have had aluminum heads as well, yet been badged as a 396?
I dunno, lots of water under the bridge since then, and I never was a Camaro guy anyway, give me full frames or give me death.
