Re: 1970 Motion Nova
Charley you left out a very important part of the letter, Unless I'm reading it incorrectly, Joel says he believes this car was brought to Motion shop and received similar mods which would make it a Motion built car. There is no claim to be a Baldwin Chevy car. I've not seen one shred of evidence saying that this car is not a Motion modified Nova . But, what I have seen is; Motion parts found on this car, location of selling dealer (50 miles from Baldwin), 4 different stampings on the engine that have Motion origins, Statement of second owner and a letter from Mr. Motion, Joel Rosen saying what he believed about the car. All I can say is this is a tough crowd!
Dear Mr. Metelits
In regard to your 1970 Chevrolet Nova serial #114xxxx. As we have discussed in our many telephone conversations a search of our records and your statement that the car was sold new by a dealer other than Baldwin Chevrolet has eliminated the possibilty that the car was sold new by the baldwin Motion Performance Group. <font color="red">However with the pictures and numbers you have provided me with, I believe (as we discussed) the car was brought to us (Motion Performance Inc) at some period in it's life for modifications similar to those we did on Baldwin Motion cars.</font>
Good luck with your musclecar. signed; Joel Rosen President of Motion Performance.
Also letter is on old Motion Performance Inc letter head address 598 sunrise Highway, Baldwin L. I. N. Y.
