Looks like a "take off" on these 1968/1969 BM Camaros.[/QUOTE]

This one is a 1 of 1 bought originally by the son of the Mexican President back in the day. It was in Otis Chandler's museum for the longest time. Dealer invoice still on window.

Yep, it’s the 1969 “Mexican” Motion Camaro. He also bought a ‘69 Motion Chevelle to tow it with. His name was Roberto Schneider and that’s why the Chevelle has RS emblems on it. He wasn’t the son of the Mexican president though, just a rich 18 year old who’s family were successful bankers/cattle ranchers.

Roberto Schneider was the son-in-law of the Governor of Chihuahua, Mexico.

interesting history of the 69 Motion Mexican Camaro and Chevelle including sitting in storage for over 1 year

The full story of the 2 Motion cars is in Marty's Motion book

it looks much better with the right wheels

The invoice for both cars plus additional storage was $20k! That was a lot of money back then. The Camaro looks great in that pic!
