Re: GTO + Motion = ?
In that era Michigan plates began with two alphabetic characters followed by four numbers. It's probably just a coincidence that these plates began with GM. The manufacturer plates had an M in the middle of several numbers, similar to copo9566aa's post of the car with the dealer plate. The car in copo9566aa's post was probably driven to the track from Royal Pontiac with the dealer plate. I think Motown has had an M plate or two for sale in the past. We used to always be on the lookout for M plates when cruising the Drive-In's on Woodward Ave back in the 60's. Saw some neat cars back then if you kept your eyes open. The M plate cars always attracted attention. I still watch for them today, as I live in an area of Michigan that is used extensively for testing and filming commercials.

Re: GTO + Motion = ?
No mention of Ram-Air II
The Ram-Air II in Firebird not started in May 68.?? The first Ram-Air II Firebird rolled off the assembly line on may 20 1968.
