Hello Rat Pack, (See Rat Packs thread above)
Found an original car feature on the white '69 Motion 427 Camaro race car you talked about. Chevy Action, January '75. Article said car sold to Chuck Hamilton who owned the Millington Pit Stop in Millington Tenn. Car was all white with Mr. H on doors. Car had Weiand Tunnel ram, Cragar Super Tricks, large Chrysler type hood box scoop (molded to the cowl hood), lakewood traction bars, finned rearend cover, AND a picture of the Moroso cable drive tach in the ashtray!! Front bumper was white. Article said the car used Moroso fiberglass and car was built by Motion Performance. I also have this issue on Ebay at this time.

That was the white car he owned also. He showed that magazine article to me when I was looking at the black car to buy. Both cars were at his house then but the lettering on the doors was no longer there, just a few sponsor decals....Rat Pack......

Ratpack;

I just read th article, it does not say the car was built by Motion. It only says the engine came from Motion, a Phase III 427 ZL/X Competition engine. I do not think this car was built in '69. The article refers to the car as being "fresh" and still not all the bugs worked out. Also: Cragar Super Tricks were not introduced to the public until early 1972.
Grumpy Jenkins and Dick Landy were given the first set of frontrunners in late '71. Grumpu first used them on his Vega and Landy on his Challenger. The rears did not come out until later '72.
Also the Weiand intake. That "second generation" updated style did not come out until late 1973 early '74. Hope this info helps.
