<font color="blue">I have a freind that is looking to purchase a "possible" '67 Motion Camaro.
He asked me a couple of things to determin if it was real, in which I replied,"Without paperwork it is almost impossible."
The one thing he said is that the car is a Big block, Tri-power, 4 speed.
He is going to try to get some pics &amp; info this week.

My question is, "Did Joel ever leave or put a tri-power on these early cars?" </font>

Normally Motion got rid of the tripower set-up amd replaced it with a single 4, so I would say it is doubtful, but you never knows. I sure wouldn't buy it based on that info alone.

Be carefull. Everybody that has a car with a part or two that could have come on a Motion wants to try to cash in on the craze and get the big $$$$ for their cars.


I have a '72 Vette that has a pop up gas cap that came from Motion. Wonder if that makes it worth $100,000 ????? I don't think so. (But I am open to close offers if anyone is interested).



I know the original owner of the car and he ordered the gas cap from Joel and put it on his basic stock burnt orange, 350ci vette with auto trans. Then he had it painted black with a set of dish mags.


Without the paperwork from Joel you only have a car that is worth what someone is willing to pay and no where near what a real documented Motion car is worth. So make the owner prove it or else be prepared to take a big hit in the pocketbook.


I am sure that Joel is really tired of every body thinking they have one of his cars. Good Luck with this one.

I trust everyone here &amp; know it is a good deal.
Let me know if you accept my offer.

I had discussed a tri-power set-up with Joel/Motion when I had ordered the car and though it does look under the hood , it was decided to go with the 3 barrel for all out performance with the 456 rear. --But if someone wanted this set-up no matter what ,it could have been put in, Motion did do several articles on dealing with any tri-power gremlins----------I know Nickey advertised and put them in--I think also there is a Dana with A TRI-POWER setup---I never read about a MOTION car having one new or never seen one, but I've learned to say "Never say Never"---But I would think Motion would have tried to talk you into using a 4 or 3 bl-carb.------------

Yes there is, Kevin Suydam's 68 427 (that's NWYENKO's Deuce in the background).



Picture is from the PNWCC All Camaro show in Seattle, circa 2002.

I believe the orange (spec. order paint) one is a Dana car. The Yellow one to it's left is a Motion car and has a single 4 bbl..
