Default Re: Original Motion window sticker?

L34Pace, No purchase of performance parts was required to get that sticker. The owner probably was a member of the Motion Super Car Club which was a deal offered by Mr. Motion, Joel Rosen. It consisted of a printed club news letter and offered cheaper prices on performance goodies. Site member JoeG is an original member of this club, not to mention an original B/M Chevelle owner that he still owns today-lucky dog!!

Thanks for the reply Tim! I guess I'll hang my Green Hornet decoder ring from the rear view mirror too I've come a little closer to tracking down John Helmke. I called all the Helmke's in St. Louis and got ahold of his son. He is passing my contact information along to his dad. He said not to hold my breath, the car is a real sore spot within the family. Here's a poor photo of the Motion sticker. I had horrible lighting and using the flash on the window was unproductive. I did take the time to read back a couple years of the Motion posts. What I got from the reading is that only the Baldwin dealership cars are considered "true" Motion supercars although Joel used a network of dealers both domestic and foreign to build his performance parts empire. What I did'nt fully understand is if these dealers also were involved with the L72 conversions? I hear a book is in the works?
