This is the only way I'd get behind the wheel of a big bumper Camaro. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Is it possible the car on right is a poncho? at one time there was a swarm of firebirds getting the MOTION treatment

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

Yes it appears to be a T/A..
What year do you think they are?.
Not many details in these years especially from the front and when the F'Bird nose is hidden?.

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows

I think the car on right had paint "treatment" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Not really sure of the time line here, but I'd say these look like brand new "Motion Trans Am's". Do they exist? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Hard to tell about the first one from the left but, I'd have to say that you have 3 1974 Firebirds and 1 1975 (farthest on the right)

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

They look to be 75/6... not 74's

Nope; not a '76 in the bunch. The ones with the turn signals in the grille are the '75's and the ones without the turn signals in the grilles are the '74's. 1976 Firebirds have a completely different front and rear bumper set-up than the '74 and '75's.

That was a reply about the colored photo with the Camaro. Not a '74 in there.

So they are not accounted for? Has anybody ever tried to hunt these cars down or asked Joel about them?

I believe I have the magazine that has an article about that Trans Am...If I remember correctly it was built and then shipped to the Shah of Iran at the time.(this is from memory) I have been so tempted to catch a plane and go look for it...but I dont think Iran is such a great place for Americans to be snooping around these days. Anyone have any connections with the Iranian government...??

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

That one white and red Camaro is a 75,76 or 77; the rear window appears to wrap all the way around unlike the 74 and older 2nd gens.

I have a soft spot for 2nd gens, esp. the 75 - 77's as that was my first car; a 76 Rally Sport.

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

I have a 77 that started out as a rally sport. it was silver with the black treatment and orange and red orange stripes

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

What does it look like now?

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/r...IMG_0218-1.jpg

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows

Looks like Popular Hot Rodding - I recognize the headline and body copy font. And that trick of putting a small pic attached to the first letter of the article was a PHR trick. FUGLY car all the same.

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

i guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. im willing to bet even though its fugly it can still hold its own just like any other MOTION Performance car

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

Here is a funny one for you{don't make fun of me}I walked past the TV while my wife was watching General Hospital,and one of the charecters has a die cast model of a yellow Motion 2nd Gen in his living room.The character is supposed to be a NY mobster from Brooklyn.Keep an eye out.

I believe the Camaro is a '76. The Firebird on the right I have no idea. At one time I had a photo of both, but the computer crashed and lost it.

I think this is the same one? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I agree, however it IS history so we MUST study it. (you know what they say!!) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

I actually dig some 80's influence, like the widebody stuff. Agreed the Camaro is a little over the top, but the original Audi Quattro is unique, historically significant and cool. When Porsche went from the 924 to the 944 that was a nice improvment. I even have a think for Mitsubishi Starion cars.

Funny how that wild Lambo influenced spoiler is just as relevant today with some of those crazy spoilers which are OE n some cars and all over the aftermarket.

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

Cool pictures! Haven't seen any from this vintage before. Thanks for posting.

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows

No doubt about that. The Euro influence on the American car market was evident as day is to night but in terms of bleak styling and modest performance, the 90's were something to forget. Man think about the ZR1... $25,000 over sticker... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

It's been awhile since I saw the movie "Walking Tall-Part 2"-circa 1975 but I remember a scene with a blue 70-73 Camaro that if I remember correctly had the Motion paint scheme in white. In the movie the scene shows Sheriff Buford destroying a race car driver's blue Camaro at the livestock market. He rips off the door etc. In hindsight I hope its not because it gets wrecked. But this is from memory. Anyone have a copy of the movie???
