Re: 69 Motion ZLX Camaro

My question is...What makes a Motion car a Phase 3 ? I know my 80 Motion had Phase 3 on the Motion paperwork and on a Decal on the car. Seems like they are all Phase 3 cars now.

Charley, is as knowledgable as anyone here, and of course not all Motion cars are Phase III. So I'm typing this for others that may be curious. Some Motion cars were only 427 crate motor transplants retaining stock exhaust and all factory equipment just like a 427 COPO Camaro; and therefore not a Phase III. Those Motion 427 crate motor transplant Camaros, were equivalent to GM Factory 427 COPO Camaros, and were pretty tame when compared to the Phase III Cars.
In my opinion, Yenko (COPO) Camaros are tame in comparison to the Phase III Motion Cars and is why I appreciate Motion Phase III Cars more. If Charley's question is interpreted as, why are all of Kevin's Cars listed as Phase III Cars, it is because they were equipped as Phase III Cars beyond just a 427 crate motor transplant car. Charley's Phase III Camaro is also a whole lot more than just stuffing a 427 crate motor in a Camaro.
Also, Joe C is right in that the term Phase III was used loosely and covered a lot of equipment on Motion Cars, and no two Phase III Motion cars were the same.
