From what I remember. Car had some small primer spots on it but overall very good condition . It had atleast one fender flare that was cracked. To me the flares were hideous and way too large. Especially in the front. The turbine wheels belonged on a van. I remember aftermarket steering wheel with GM? center button. Had typical motion valve covers with the large cutoff motion emblems. 10 bolt rear ( I was bummed not a 12-bolt).
Although now I realize the T-tops are part of the history of the car, the killer for me was the T-tops that were installed prior to Motion touching the car. I figured I had to reroof the car. May have a few details incorrect.. been a while, but a day I’ll never forget seeing a real motionized Camaro !
I called the next day after looking at the car and offered $3500 and the seller said he had an offer of $3500 for just the motor. He said he was pretty firm on the price. I had just bought my zL-1 so I was dead broke.. early 90’s. I called back a week later to pay the full price, but it was sold. Never saw it since then, until now.
Something pretty cool was that he had stencils for the stripes from motion for when he repainted the car.?
A few years ago I spoke to another member here who also looked at the car prior to it’s sale. He may remember more also.

Pretty unique car, hoping someone can come up with the before pics! I’ve attached pics of the invoices showing the flares & wheels.
