I know of a similar car still owned by the original owner and he drives it over a 1000 miles a summer. It is a black 350, M21 with motion emblems and such. He has all the paper too. I think those cars are cool but nothing too special in the collector's eyes. They really sum up the general or daily work Motion did back in the day...

Just saw that one too...looks like too much added stuff to be genuine also you'd expect the guy would know of and mention the possibility of Joel docs?.

If in fact it was a legit Motion conversion, w/ all the little pieces of Motion stuff you would think that there would be an invoice of the work done w/ a date and the VIN listed.

It also seems a bit odd that there are still cast manifolds on a car w/ a Z-30 conversion. (Possibly to retain the A/C mounting?)

Interesting car nonetheless.
