Got my copy and buried my nose in it for over an hour last night after dinner. I'll have to go back and read page 137. Love the original owner Corvette Bronze '68 RS/SS 427!!! Marty also said that JoeG's Chevelle "still has it's new car smell." Joe, can you bottle some of that and send it to me???

I got my Motion books this morning. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed the book. It is a must read. The best way that I can put it is that this book is second only to the Holy Bible!!!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Wow, the bible, you must really dig reading! lol

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Your right about that original owner (Corvette Bronze)'68 RS/SS 427 ..........it's a beauty!!!!!!!!
I've been leaving burgers and fries on my seats to try and recapture that old time crusing smell...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Does the bronze car have aluminum slots. I know of an original owner bronze car in my area that was supposedly the first car to get the slots.

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Yes it does have aluminum slotted wheels in the photo....

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

<font color="blue">Got mine last Friday, just finished reading it ...




... for the 6th time!

I showed a young guy at work what a dealership looked like when cars were cool.
He thought it was pretty cool, but he can look at a Honda dealership &amp; tell you what all the cars are.
I have to look at the name to know if it is Honda, Toyota, Kia, etc ... Oh well https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif


Great job Marty, thanks for all your hard work. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif </font>

I just picked up the book today.

Great Job Marty!

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Excellent well written book with great photos. On page 34 there is a reference to Dr. Charles Hash as a previous owner of the King Cobra. Back in 1990 or 1991 I purchased a 70 Shelby GT500 from him and he happen to show me this blue 1966 Cobra. He mentioned it had been a drag modified Cobra. Well what I was looking at was Clem Hoppe's King Cobra. Amazing...simply amazing

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Awesome Book!! i have read it cover to cover a few times now. One question though. On the Schneider Camaro, which an entire chapter is dedicated to in the book, why does it have slots on it when it leaves motion, but have green rallys on it now?

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Yes , It does have slots on it when it left MOTION and now it has rallys

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Does anyone know why they were changed?

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Probably nothing more than owner preferrence.

MOTION PERFORMANCE

Tales of a Muscle Car Builder

By Martyn L. Schorr. Foreword by Joe Oldham.

310 photographs. 176 pages. Motorbooks. $35.

The last nail in the coffin of the classic American muscle car came in 1974, courtesy of the United States Justice Department. The government’s nine-pound hammer was the Clean Air Act. Rather than Carroll Shelby or other high-profile producers of “super muscle cars,” a young Long Island drag racer named Joel Rosen was chosen for the landmark cease-and-desist order.

The Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department had been sniffing around Mr. Rosen’s shop, Motion Performance, in Baldwin, N.Y. Now, the agencies were demanding $10,000 for each piece of antipollution equipment discarded when cars like 90-horsepower Chevy Vegas were sold with 500-horse V-8s, financed and delivered by nearby Baldwin Chevrolet with factory warranties.

Martyn Schorr writes about these events as if he were there right from Motion’s beginnings in 1963 — which he was, in dual roles, as the editor of High-Performance Cars magazine who moonlighted as Mr. Rosen’s advertising guy. Thus was Mr. Schorr able to provide inside information about every model that flew the Motion Performance flag, from Cobras to VWs, along with terrific street, strip and shop photos.

The author also includes an illuminating introductory chapter, “Muscle in America,” that recaps the high-performance builders whose tradition Mr. Rosen upheld. Whereas other “hot-rod books” tend to be long on photography but short on accuracy and technical details, this rare exception excels on all counts.

I think I'll read it again tonight. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Nice review from the Times.........It took a lot of work and time to put the book together...but Marty and those concerned did it right and the finished book is a nice testament to those who pioneered early on the American Musclecar idea and to Joel Rosen for carrying on the engineering inovations and ideas that made Baldwin Motion Performance one of the top performance shops and HI-PO dealerships back in the day.....Thanks for the memories..............JoeG.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Hey Joe...no being a stranger, ya hear? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

Got mine for Christmas. In a word: awesome.

Re: Motion Performance Printed
 

I enjoy Marty's books, ever since I picked up his Quicksilver published books in the 80's. I see he's reprinted the two old Mopar Quicksilver editions into one modern printing:

http://www.amazon.com/Mopar-Performance-...5148&amp;sr=1-2

Maybe a reprint of the Chevy and Pontiac ones is coming?

I got the Motion Book from Amazon recently. That, Colin's Shelby book and the "We Were Ramchargers" books are great gifts for us book buffs. Great job Mr. Schorr.

Re: Marty Schorr....Baldwin Motion book coming soon
