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!

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.

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.

Man that reminds me of my high school days.  I knew it was a 427-COPO, but doesn't it have a rear spoiler in the pic?

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

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

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