Default Re: yenko 69 Nova Big Blocks

Well, I purchased a '69 Camaro sold new in Tn. as a Z28. After racing the car as a small block the original owner had it converted to a big block modified production car. In the early '70s, Motion was the king of modified production cars, so, he took the car to New York to get a complete conversion to an all out race car to compete in M/P. The entire conversion was covered in a couple magazines in '74. The car received a tunnel ram, twin dominator "ZLX" motor, Summers Bros axles, dual pick up & dual Holley fuel pumps, complete fiberglass front end, etc., and a Motion type paint job. So what should this car be called? A Motion Performance converted Camaro with tons of paperwork documenting all the work that was done at Motion. It does NOT make this car a '69 Phase III Baldwin Motion Camaro. Of course, it will destroy any Phase III at the strip, but hey, it's a race car. Thanks go to Copolocator.
