I am new to this site, just discovering it a few weeks ago. Having grown up on the island some of my finest memories are of week nights and Saturday afternoons in Baldwin Chevrolet's showroom drooling over the Motion cars! I have read every page of postings and downloaded all the pictures to my Motion file.
I remember a gloomy fall afternoon watching 2 '69 Motion Camaro's coming out of the service door. Both cars were 427's one having an era custom green and white flip flop paint job. They were being driven down to North Carolina to the new owners. The mechanics were joking regarding the likelihood of both making the trip unscathed with the big cams & steep gears.
I have a bunch of slides from 67-69 at Islip and West Hampton that I need to go through, I know there are some Motion cars in there. I'll need to have some prints made to scan and send in. I'm attaching a picture of the Astoria-Chas vette taken out at Hampton and an article on the Ribbon Camaro I had not seen posted.
Thanks again for the GREAT memories!!!

Do you recall any of the 70 Chevelles at the dealership? The one that would have stood out was the white one with a tan vinyl top.

Re: New member - old Motion fan
 

Actually, the top was white vinyl, sorry

Re: New member - old Motion fan
 

HI

I was usually there to drool over the Camaro's - There is only one Chevelle that sticks in my mind. That was a black '68. I was not that fond of '68's until I saw that car! Sorry

Re: New member - old Motion fan
 

[b] Found this article on Dennis Ferrara's Camaro, I have not seen posted - Check out the hairdo's!!

Don't miss the Scuncio Chevrolet ad on the last page!

Re: New member - old Motion fan
 

[b] Going through some old mags I found this Popular Hot Roding Camaro book from 1984.
It has a couple of Motion cars in it I haven't seen before.
There are also articles on a COPO owned by George Weis and a Yenko owned by Lenny Morud.

Chris, scroll up to the post by Dog427435 on August 26th within this thread. He posted an article titled "Rocky's Rocket" showing a blue '68 BM Camaro.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, I own a '68 BM SS 427 Camaro with under 3,000 miles. It is red w/black int. & white stripes. The car is documented by the original Baldwin Chev. invoice/bill of sale signed by Dave Bean, co-owner of Baldwin Chev. The invoice lists all of the Motion options. I also have the original title from 1968 still in the 1st owner's name. He is alive and well, and still racing.

Welcome to the board and I too would love to see some of the vintage pictures of Rocky's Rocket. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Both cars were in the Camaro greats issue - I don't know if this was the only time they were published -
or if this mag was a compilation of the year

Great Motion Vette - I don't think I've ever seen another '81 - looks fabulous!
I'll keep my eyes open -

Re: New member - old Motion fan
 

What's up Dog? Would you happen to have my 'vette in any old pics or slides? Check out my '69 'vette in my gallery(Poss. '69 Motion Phase III GT/L-36 T.M.). I'm lookin' for any info or old pics of this 'vette. Thanks, Rosen is the King of the supercars!

Re: New member - old Motion fan
 

Hey

That is quite an undertaking you are planning - Good luck with your project.
I don't have many shots of Motion Corvette's. I guess I didn't have the respect for them back
then as I now do!
Any idea as to the original color configuration?
If you don't mind me asking - where did you find it?
