for the local PA guys...are there any Nova or Chevy clubs you belong to in the area...I know there's the Pretzel City Hot Rod club or something like that here in Berks County...just curious as even though this car is far from a show winner, I'd still like to come to some local shows, cruises etc and meet people and show the car....and would love to see your cars...

Welcome to the party. Cool car!! Why not consider joining National Nostalgic Nova..the club is based out of York,PA They have diff chapters around the country and you also get a cool monthly magazine. Nova Nationals are in Hunt Valley, Maryland this year. How about bringing that bad boy down for everybody to see?

Thanks guys for your responses and PM's...alot of good info. I'm sure as spring and summer rolls around, I'll get a chance to meet up with some of you locally....and Hunt Valley, MD isn't too far away...although with 4.10 gears...that's probably two tanks of gas!!

Fleetwood? Small world, I'm in Douglassville.

Once a month during the summer there is a cruise at the Oley Turnpike Dairy ice cream shop, bring it on by - and roast 'em as you leave https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

I do remember that cruise night at Oley now that you mention it...they also have a muscle car show during the summer as well...not at the dairy, but in town at the fairgrounds/fire company....I'm only about 6-7 minutes from the dairy...so that's a definite to show up there...way to easy to smoke 'em when I leave in this car...

Re: 71 Motion Nova?
 

The Oley cruise is nice, pretty laid back - has ice cream, a small burger restaurant, and a petting zoo for the kids. I was only there once this past summer, for about a 1/2 hour with my son - but had to run home before the ice cream melted https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

The show at the fairgrounds is in conjunction with the Oley Fair, and the car show is from 8-2'ish at the high school. The cost is a donation to the charity, so the parking price for the location is first rate! I have not been to that show in a couple of years, as I think it's on the SCR weekend - which can't be missed https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Do you know where this car was sold new from yet?

I have not researched where this car was sold new...is there an easy resource available using the VIN? I am 99.999999% sure this was not a Baldwin or Motion sold car. The best possibilities are it was either worked on at Motion, although doubtful (no paperwork)...or more likely the parts where ordered via a Motion mail-order catalog and put on the car...or it's just a clone with little or no "Motion" parts at all...just similar parts to equate to a Motion Chevy II/Nova...this was all taken into consideration when I bought the car as there is nothing but the stories and no paperwork available except the two previous owners names (copies of titles)....so I will only "advertise" this car as a Motion Nova tribute, or recreation, or clone if you will...nothing more...unless I can verify authentic Motion parts from the catalog in the future.

Re: 71 Motion Nova?
 

Smart move, without paperwork or a $1,500 check to Joel, it's very hard to document. Otherwise, just enjoy the car as it is https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

There is no central source for title searches, what state did it come from?

Re: 71 Motion Nova?
 

car was purchased in NC where it had been previously titled...but again, the story behind the car was it was originally a PA or NY car...I didn't think there was any way to really prove the vehicle origin without any paperwork...where was CARFAX 35 years ago when I needed it! LOL

I do intend to enjoy the car for what it is...a Baldwin tribute that's cool looking &amp; super fast with that 427...take it cruising, go to some shows, and meet nice people like on this site.
