I've always wondered why there wasn't L88 COPO for the Camaro's in 1969, would have been a perfect fit between the L72 and the ZL1.

I can read these articles all day long!!! I wonder if that ‘68 427 Motion Nova is still around?

I'll finish the Speed & Supercar articles tonight Dave and start on Hi Performance Cars later this weekend so there will be a lot more Motion articles, there seems to be one in every issue of HPC.

No clue if the Nova is still around. I've seen a lot of Baldwin Motion cars over the years but I've never seen a documented Motion prepped Nova or Impala in person.

This Chevelle had a huge influence on this car crazy 17 year old!! I believe I have the issue of Hi-Performance Cars featuring the same article.

It is under restoration in VA. - Bill W

I thought you would like that one Bill. I remember reading about the car being restored but I haven't heard anything about it in years.

Tom Akin's 1969 L72 Kingswood "Lead Sled" Speed & Supercar October 1972

Quite possibly the coolest station wagon ever built?

Another blast from the past Chad!
In the late 60's the music of solid lifters and lumpy exhaust was a daily occurrence in the service Dept of Schukei Chevrolet, but, from the stock appearing Kingswood wagon that just rolled into John Day's stall?? Say what?? That was the begining of the transformation of the Lead Sled into a race car. There were regular visits to John's stall for tuning and maintenance.
After the move to the new dealership building there was open space on the back lot for launch test and tune. Did a bit of that myself actually.

I remember the new white '72 Chevelle that followed, a 402 I believe, but I don't believe it was as successful as the Lead Sled.

In the early '80's while I was at the other Chevy dealer in town the Sled would stop at the parts dept. entrance occasionally, in street trim but still with the custom paint. I believe it is in a collection in the PNW now.

IIRC it was one of two built, the other being in the GM or Chevrolet Heritage collections. - Bill W
