Hello Joe C.

Martyn Schorr is still alive & kicking I was just told, not sure what he is up to. Musclecar Review had a feature on a 70-72 Phase III Camaro 2-3 years ago, red with black stripes. Didn't the owner say their was a total of 74-76 second generation Motion Camaros made? Or I may have heard this from Brad Fanshaw who owns the red/white MSVega who grew up in Omaha and was familiar with that car.

There were two NY based publication from the mid '70's that always had a lot of Motion Street machines in them. Street Power and Street Racer were their names. Really really cheap pulp magazines. But cool as heck. They are really hard to find. I pulled out one last night and it had a 70 1/2 Phase III Camaro in it. Randy Columbo was the owner from Blue Pointe N.Y. Car had the words "The Godfather" on it's rear quarter's above the Motion stripes. Car in the feature was modified above and beyond how it came from Motion. Tunnel ram etc. I happened to run across Randy by chance at the NMCA car show at Maple Grove in PA in '93. I asked him about the Motion car and he said it was long gone and he tried many times over the years to find it. (just like what you said Rbernat). Randy did mention the hood was still hanging up in his garage.
Another car in the same mag was the original '67 BM Camaro race car that was Butternut yellow. This WAS the same one you saw in all the original BM ads. Robert E. "Reb" Brown from Hornell NY bought it from Joel. That car still had all the Motion goodies on it, NMW tow tabs, Mr. Gasket AC, Sun gauges, Motion traction bars etc. The only thing that was done to it was a repaint of the original Butternut yellow paint. This magazine was from August '76. Wonder where these two cars are today?
