It seems that many of the "Chevy Action" Magazines spotlighted the work performed by Motion Performance. Motion also ran two page advs. for their Performance parts in these magazines.

January '77 Has a Phase III '77 Camaro on the cover.

May '77 has a Motion "Super" Vega on the cover as well as a Motion Corvette Spyder and other Numerous references and actual pictures of Baldwin Chevrolet.

There is even an article on a Bill Mitchell built '77 Camaro which seems to use many similar parts which were eventually used in the Yenko Turbo Z's.


The article discussed does talk about the building of "Rat Birds" and one of the cars featured in the write up is my Red/Black Motion T/A.

I also have some notes from the original owner of my "Rat Bird" which state that Mike ,the Tow Truck driver also had a different 454 PASE III tow vehilcle as he was at Motion dropping off his soon to be converted T/A.

I found it very interesting that the original owner of my "Rat Bird" actually wrote a $1,500.00 deposit check to Motion Performance for the conversion prior to having formally ordered the Trans Am from the dealership as I have both the canceled Check to Motion and the original dealer order sheet for the car. The guy kept just about every bit of documentation pertaining to the car as possible.

No wonder he charged 'Sixties Muscle' a premium for it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
