Description:Ultra rare Motion Performance 427, 1/4 mile record holder and it took a bullet from the police after a street race! It has lived a wild past. Today it is a meticulously restored, heavily documented piece of muscle car history.
History: Barry Maskery worked for GM and participated in the R&D of the Mark IV big block engine. Barry wanted a 427 and it was unavailable even to him, so he ordered this L-78 396-375 hp SS Camaro with a Rock Crusher 4-speed and a 4.88 posi. He then drove it to Motion Engineering and had it upgraded with a 427-425 hp long block. He stayed at his aunt\'s house nearby while the car was being modified. Barry went on to race it on a regular basis and the car earned a reputation of being a street bruiser. On May 9th, 1969, Barry set a track record of 10.45! (We have a copy of the certificate) That\'s fast, even by today\'s standards. On July 4th, 1976, Barry won King of the Hill in the very competitive Bracket 1 racing. (We have newspaper article). Barry is alive and well, we have contact with him.
The 2nd owner won a lot of money racing on the street. He recalls one night beating a 1970 Hemi Cuda and the police set up a blockade at the end of the street. The Cuda stopped, but he blew past the blockade in the Camaro and the cops tried shooting his tires and bullet went through the 1/4 panel!
More recently the car went through a nut and bolt rotisserie restoration to new condition. This rare piece of muscle car history could be the center piece of any collection!

The finish is better than the day it left the factory. Every piece of chrome and trim has been restored or replaced, it has optional bumper guards. Every weather strip and seal has been replaced; glass is crystal clear. Correct T-3 headlights. It\'s sitting on a set of chrome 15 inch Cragers, obviously wider in back and they\'re wearing Mickey Thompson tires.

From carpet to headliner, it is in excellent condition.
