Marlin what makes you say this? If the stampings were on a vintage 427 or 454 yea maybe, but on the original 396 block? The heavily documented '71 BM Camaro that I owned that retained its Motion built LS-6 did not have these stampings on the block or heads. Does Joe G's 396 BM Chevelle have these engine stampings?

Secondly, it's just illogical that the car is advertised on Ebay as a likely Motion modified car and the Seller won't pay J.R. $2K to potentially reap an extra $100k+ in value after documentation. Doesn't make sense. Perhaps someone will take a chance and it will pay off.

I recall several people on this board were looking at the 68 Yenko when it was for sale a few years ago and there were apparently some issues. If it now turns out to be real, that's great. I'd like to hear more about it.

I think I recall the dates of the engine were much later the car.... maybe not...

Oh man i love this stuff !!

What gets me, everyone who thinks they have a Motion car calls Joel, according to them he says "maybe", or "looks like what we did", etc, which IMO would warrant paying the fee, but most never follow up. We all know a letter from Joel greatly increses the value of his cars, so it really makes one wonder what is not being told.

Just wanted to update everone that I have taken your advice and have ended the ebay auction. I am sending MR Rosen a check out Monday Morning for the 2K fee and we will see what the results are. Thanks for all your imput!!

have you still got the car?

Yep. Good luck with the Joel thing.
I have a X66 car like this. Joel paid $$$$, not a Motion car, but a Baldwin bought car. No paperwork and will not return calls. (and yes, I offered to pay more for the paperwork).

Big difference between Rosen and MacNeish, heck Jerry even left his cell phone number on my voice mail so that I could catch him! That's how you run a business in my book.
