Great book by the way.

There are pictures of J O’s black Motion Camaro with 3 different sets of wheels on it. At first, I thought there may have been another black 69 Motion Camaro that may have had ZL1 power but would think that it would have been covered in Cars mag or another mag of the day.

Another interesting bit on this car.
In J O’s book, he states that he asked for the orange Ram Air Firebird after his Motion Camaro was stolen but on page 67 you can see what looks like a black Motion Camaro in the stage lane behind the orange Firebird.

Again indicating a possible second black 69 Motion Camaro.
They may all be the same car and the articles could be incorrect.
A minor error but makes it difficult to track and document the cars.

Not saying anything negative about J O as I think he is a great writer and have enjoyed his articles and books.

thanks chris. I was born and raised in astoria, so that was a nice excerpt you picked. That was still one of the places to go in the mid 80's. It was fun sometimes trying to make the turn at the end to go onto the Grand Central Parkway or Astoria blvd. thanks again
