Vehicle Description
This auction is for a very rare 1970 nova SS 396/375 motion performance car. I bought this car 6 months ago and the car had been stored apart for about 12 years. I thought what I had aquired was a matching number 396/375 4 spd car. After contacting the third owner I found out car was a motion performance car. He bougth this car in the mid 80's form the second owner who had brought the car from NJ. I have since found out car was indeed from NJ. Car was delivered Dec 1st 1969 to a Atkin;s Chevrolet in Wayne NJ. I have not been able to find the second or first owner. The Chevrolet dealer is no longer Atkins they were bought out 12 years ago as a result from owner's death. As you can see in the pictures the engine is stamped motion performance on back of block. There is also some other 4 digit numbers stamped on both heads and front of block. I found out that these numbers were the 4 last digits of the work order when car was done at Motion. When I aquired this car, I notice that it had alot of high performance parts on it. The car still has the holley 3 barrel intake along with holley 3 barrel carb. Other parts are scatter shield, hurst comp shifter bent for console car. Car has aluinum et rear end cover 2 holes in right side of trunk where electric fuel pump was mounted and lines went through trunk. The third owner said car had traction bars on it when he sold it but I do not have them. I have started a frame off restoration and have all pictures of car. I have aquired alot of parts. I have a set of NOS motion emblems in the original MP package and I have nos et rear end cover, mr gasket fly eye air cleaner, motion valve covers, nos mallery coil (correct time period). The engine has been completely rebuilt and balancd and run on a dyno. I have all parts that came out of engine. I have talked with Joel Rosen and have emailed him photo's of what I have (engine and parts and car) he responded and said it looks like his work. I have not sent him the $2000.00 as of Jan 07 for him to document. He does have copy's of pictures of what I have. I have lost interest in this project and have decided to try it on ebay.
