69 Motion Converted ZLX Camaro


HISTORY An original Hugger Orange Z-28, converted in 1974 by Motion Performance to a Phase III Camaro “ZLX” drag car. This conversion at the time cost approximately $12,000.00, making it one of the “most expensive and extreme conversions done during that era” (quote from Joel Rosen). The “ZLX” conversion package included a dual-four barrel 427 cubic inch tunnel ram engine along with special ZLX open chamber aluminum heads, Liberty transmission, and several suspension modifications.

It is reputed to be one of only two ZLX Camaros ever built and the only one known to exist today. In addition, the car has only 735 original miles.

----I dont think the ZLX Camaro is a good representative of Motion cars value wise. Personally, I think its a bit too radical. I watched it catch fire at Mecum years ago (no major damage).Other than race cars with history, I think collectors are far more interested in cars that can be driven, even if they dont get driven often. The radical build of the ZLX precludes even so much as a trip around the block for the most part and collectors may back away from that particular Motion Camaro for that reason........Bill S
