B/M Phase III

Not sure why the Mexican Motion Camaro has Rally wheels on it now but I saw the Motion work order sheet for it and it had mag wheels on the parts list. The green Motion LS6 Chevelle that was in the Chandler collection also had stock wheels on it. I thought that was odd since a wheel change was usually done on the Motion cars.

It would be a real treat to see that car at our annual supercar reunion. Does anyone know the current owner? Would he or she be interested in attending?

When I bought my '68 MOTION CAMARO someone had bought New Rally Wheels from Chevrolet in the late '70's and put them on. I know of at least (5) more Motion cars with rally wheels. I am sure they came with custome wheels. Maybe when the custom wheels got bad they put rally wheels on them to match the spare?? I put the cragars back on my '68. As for the attachment Stephano is right, that is my NEW Yenko Camaro pictured with the green Motion. It was taken when Otis Chandler owned both cars.

The reason guys put stock wheels back on the Motion cars is out of ignorance. They see the cars that are restored with stock wheels sell for more than modified ones so they put the rally wheels back on the car thinking they are doing the right thing. However, with the Motion cars it is the other way around. The cars are worth more with the correct custom wheels. Also, many people still are in the anal restoration mode the magazines have pushed over the last 10-15 years. They feel any change from stock will have the restoration police calling at their door. Too many sheep in this hobby. Guess this attitude keeps companies like American Racing in business selling all those belly button polished torq thrust. The green '69 ran Ansen slots when new.

This is the car from the cover of the book American Muscle.
