"Joe Six-Pack could easily buy(finance one)". Not the case for a NEW loaded Phase III SS 427 car at the time. Lots of individuals had some component from Motion Performance on their cars (i.e. the local gear heads and street racers you refer to) but a loaded new car was a totally different story. A member on this site owns a GT Corvette that had a sticker of over 17K. What would that be in comparable dollars? A Lamborghini Miura at the time was 20K. Today a Murcielago goes for 300K plus.

<font color="blue">In 1968 a NEW Camaro was in the $2500 range, a NEW B-M Camaro could be had in the $4500 area; not quite twice the price.
So if you don't start with a fully loaded 2SS & go for the simple 1LS/1SS @ $25K/30K
there is no reason it should be more than $40-60K for the Motion car ... TOTAL.
Now, of coarse if you start with a $50K car it may cost you $100+.
Remember, the more you check off on the option list, the more you gotta pay.

So, give me a 1LS with a Motion 427 option, 5 Speed, a 4.56 rear & a 90 day warranty, I'll drive the wheels off it for $40K.
Put Motion back on the map. Let me & others have a chance to buy a NEW MOTION CAMARO without mortgaging my life.
