Here's another gem from the past.

Re: More old photos

TOM

Re: More old photos
 

Mark - that's your car?.....SUPER COOL.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: More old photos
 

The '68 L88 Phase III on the Speed and Supercar cover could have been Joel Rosen's car as I think I read that in one of the road tests. I think it's also the car used in the Motion ads.

Re: More old photos
 

No mention in the article on who this guy is. The article was about installing an overdrive unit.

Note: No spoilers.

Re: More old photos
 

Where's my checkbook?

Note the "427" emblems were installed on the SS hood.

Re: More old photos
 

Just a hint of tire smoke. Note the mid-year sidepipes.

Re: More old photos
 

Not a very clear photo. Car was named "Ridge Runner."

Re: More old photos
 

Great stuff!!!! Keep them coming! Anybody have any info on that plain jane '69 camaro. Seems odd to see a non-SS Camaro get the Motion treatment...unless it was a COPO https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif. Does the article give any hints? Could you post it?

Thanks,
Mike https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: More old photos
 

Great pictures, only downside is that my computer is soon overloaded!

NEW

Re: More old photos
 

No mention of this specific car in the article. It was in an article in the 1/69 Rodder and Super/Stock called "Building a Mindbender." Here's another angle. Note the "427" emblems on the front fener in the stripe.

Re: More old photos
 

Another photo from the "Building a Mindbender" article. Note the stripe over the roof and the Motion decal on the right rear window.

The Man.

Re: More old photos
 

Yeah, I'll bet this car was a COPO that was converted to a Phase III. The article was in the 11/69 Cars and the owner's name was Marc Cohen. Note hood tach and window sticker.

Photo went across the center of the magazine, unfortunately.

Re: More old photos
 

From the 9/70 Cars Magazine.

Re: More old photos
 

Another from the 9/70 Cars Magazine road test of the '70 Motion Camaro. Note the factory "moon" caps. I dare someone to run these on their '70 Motion Camaro!

Re: More old photos
 

Motion show display. You could talk with Joel Rosen himself and discuss how you wanted your '69 Motion car optioned. You could even finance it through Baldwin Chevrolet. What--$500 down and you're off!

Re: More old photos
 

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gifOKay....I think I've had enough!!! Where are all these cars and how come nobody is finding them?? Who's in for kidnapping Joel? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif Just kidding.

Great pics.

Mike

Re: More old photos
 

At SCR6, Joel Rosen was VERY specific that they had no idea of the COPO program. The question was posed in response to the picture you posted. Today the Motion cars are tough to find for a variety of reasons including the fact that most lived a very hard life on the street and track as well as all of the salt used during the winter the N.E. where most of these cars resided. Not to mention very few were built to begin with as they could get pretty pricey.

Re: More old photos
 

Tom, I am not a 100% Sure because it is a black and white picture but supposedly they only made 3 and it is exactly like mine (no rear spoiler and not a Rally Sport) and Kevin S. has a rear spoiler. Mark https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif <font color="666666"> </font>

John Mahle(sp?) the Baldwin Chev. Parts Manager was also at SCR6 and agreed that they knew nothing about the COPO program.

Re: More old photos
 

Boy, if it's not a COPO that makes it hard to explain the origins of this car. (I attached the photo again.) Could the owner have bought a COPO elsewhere and taken it to Motion for modification? Man, that sure looks like a COPO with the bowtie grille emblem and no displacement emblems. Yeah, Motion swapped emblems on most of the cars. Another mystery to be solved by someone out there.

Re: More old photos
 

Any BM chevelle articles? You never see anything on them.

Re: More old photos
 

That is just a std camaro and could have started out as a 6 cyl even. It is just a std hood with a 67 vette scoop on it. I think we are wishing, when the thought of a Copo comes along but Joel would use what ever he could get his hands on quick if he had a sale. In fact he said it himself that he was not aware of the Copo program or beleive me he would have taken advantage of it.

That actually looks like a 6 cyl car to me. Just remember he was selling horsepower and who cared about what it came in. For that price it was a real bargain!!!! I bet he was making pretty good money on the cars two ways. He could buy them wholesale and then sell the orignal motors out of them for probably almost as much as he had to pay Chev for the new crate motors.

My cousin was the parts Mgr of Bill White Chev in Tulsa and I blew up my 283 in my car. I paid $195 for a 375 hp 327 shortblock back when they first came out. My 57 chev was a real badass for about 3 months till everybody found out and would not race me for money anymore.
