I remember seeing that car on a trailer each time we went back to see the progress on my brothers 435 motor.

The Gold "Motivation" Yenko as it was called only raced under the Motivation name while in possession of Rick Barratt (original owner) until Approx 1972. The 2nd and 3rd owners raced the car in the Muncie Indiana area without a name on the car before the car headed to Iowa where the 4th owner raced the car with no name on the car. The 5th owner of the car Troy put the car back on the street.

Tom Burnell who raced with Rick Barratt also had a red white and blue 69 Camaro that raced under the "Motivation" name in the early 1970s I have no idea where that car ended up after Tom was done with the car.
