Does any one know if there was ever a prototype or even talk of a Motion 1st generation Monte?

Im not sure about any Motion MC's, but Dick Harrell did do a ls6 MC. Being that they were so big/heavy and were not dragraced competitivly I would say its unlikly.

I would have to agree with that. I used to have a 70 ss 454 and its was quite heavy but i wouldnt think any moreso than a 70 chevelle as they were built off the same chassis.Maybe Motion did do one but it probably slipped off into obscurity a long time ago but then again who knows

NHRA shows that the Monte Carlo shipping weight was only 10 pounds heavier than a Chevelle, both of them with a 402.....

Maybe theres one lurking out there somewhere. Would be awesome to see.

If there were I'm sure it would have been mentioned in the book. I'm sure some kid may have brought there dads MC in and had a hot coil installed, but that would not a Motion car make. As for the weight, I would think a real world difference of about 200-300 lbs on a scale would be about right.

Not necessarily would they have mentioned it in the book. Ive been told by several MOTION enthusiasts that there were a few cars left out. Its a great book either way

That Harrel monte is one BAD machine. It'd be cool to make a yenkonor motion monte, kind of a "what if" tribute car

Then build one . its your car. My buddy built a 79 el camino the way he thought MOTION would have.
