I was going to build a 69 Camaro using the parts as sold in the 1969 Motion catolog. I purchased most of the parts but never did it.

You can get it in a diecast. Ertl consults with Joel on building these cars. Some are built highly detailed to the real car as they were built from old pictures that Joel supplies to them.

I'm sure that Mike of www.nastyz28.com has seen them. Mike, if you see this, you should convince Joel to let you scan them all in [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

I asked joel about scanning any/all photos he had. His answer at the time was "they're all boxed up and he doesn't know where the stuff was".
I can believe that since I've been to his house several times.
About a month ago, I was on the phone with the boss and he was rummaging through some boxes they found and he was reminiscing. "Holy cow mikie... pictures of my 58 vette. National record time slips...." I just sat their and listened to him. Hopefully he'll leave those boxes out in a handy spot so I can get my hands on them. I'm supposed to help him move some boxes in a month.

Is Joel still planning on moving to Florida?

When my brother and I picked up the 89 Motion Mustang GT, Joel and his wife invited us in to their home. Next thing we knew we were sitting at Mr. Motion's kitchen table eating Motion donuts. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
We were there for hours and Joel was great to us autographing stuff and telling us some fantastic supercar stories.
I did get to see and even purchase some of the Motion memoribila. When we were there Joel was going through his old photos in order to lend them to Marty Schorr for his upcoming book on the Motion story. He has many of the original photos that are in the old magazines except they are in color where the magazines were in B&W. Joel is a real "SuperCar Legend" and has a pile of magazine articles, pictures, trophies, and time slips that prove it.

It was in the Otis Chandler's collection and a book with a bunch of his cars but that was a long time ago.
