Vettefest pics B/M?
 

Did anyone get any pics of the 70-73 Phase III camaro? I'd love to see them if anyone has them.

See the post under this section entitled, 'Nov. '00 Chevy Vette-Fest Photos'. I included a photo of the BM-Camaro.

(I understand this car was purchased from a friend of mine named Ray? Is this the same car Mike?).

Marlin, I got it from Ray Zielinski, who bought it from Randy Miller. It was a project, but clean & solid.

Mike;
That's the guy, he sold his '70 Yenko Nova that he found in Baltimore, (on vacation-haha), in order to work on the Motion car. (However, circumstances change - bad for some, but good for others!)

Nice job on the restoration, were the stripes still on the car when you got it? I didn't know they came with a split between the black stripe as it comes over the trunk lid.

No, the stripes were gone and the car was in primer. Fortunately they had taken some pics of at least the rear end stripes. Re: the split stripes, the Z28 cars just had the Motion stripe added/blended into the existing Z stripes. SS cars had the single stripe in the middle of the hood "bulge", over the top, and down the center of the deck lid , then flared out and down the side into the "spear". Mark Timken's green '70 is an SS. Bear in mind that this is the way it's been explained to me, but, Joel will also tell you that they had no templates, so, each might vary a bit. Anybody have any other opinions?

What year is this Motion Camaro? I beleive that most of the Phase III cars started out as factory big blocks but there was no big block or SS Camaro in 1973. I guess in 1973 Motion would have to use the Z28 or the LT to do his conversion (or whatever the customer ordered).

I believe the red one at the Chevy Vettefest was a '71. I'll need to look back through some of the old CARS magazine, but I recall reading about a '70+ 454 Phase III that started life as a mouse powered Z-28.

Mike;
That makes sense regarding the stripe differences on the Z28's vs. the SS cars, thanks.

I will also try to dig out some old articles to see the stripe difference,

Speaking of 'Ray', his old Yenko Nova has an interesting window decal - 'Maryland International Dragway'. Does anyone know where this track is/was located? Maybe it would help determine the original dealer, either Lustine Chev. in Hyattsville, MD or Colonial Chev. in Norfolk, VA.
