whitetop,
your absolutely right in regards to motions influence in the eastern usa.motions ads were also heavy due to the fact that mr rosen was even labeled road test consultant and technical advisor in these magazines.in exchange for this motion ran these ads.that would most likely explain why many people including the govt.thought motion was a big
company.many motion cars in my area were just considered modified "hot rod"automobiles and treated as such."beat to the ground"i seem to remember public re-awarness in b/m cars after superchevy and car review magazine covered some cars in 1984-1985.i believe one of the reasons for the small number of b/m cars is the fact that after the cars have passed thru countless owners its finally regarded as just a modified car.without the paperwork or the motion emblems,decals ect the average person will not know.the engine numbers do not match"in most cases"so its just a hot rod.a case in point was the chevelle advertised on e-bay.pictures of this car show no real proof except fot the repro decal.it appears that only after finding the build sheet from baldwin chev.did a clue appear.this car was documented only a few months ago according to the date on the motion document.the high bid is another matter for discussion,is it worth that amount?
