Marlin, yep, the export 71 4 speed Hemi Cuda Conv was grey.

Have vintage pictures of the B/M Nova, but later in it's life. I've talked to the original owner who bought it new from Baldwin, but didn't ask him about stripes. It is still titled in his name with title showing car purchased from Baldwin Chevrolet. Also have the Baldwin POP, Motion invoice, along with letter from Joel. I'm not sure, but I don't think paint/stripes were always put on the Motion paperwork. It is supposed to have a Black Vinyl top which I hope to get installed later.

I have seen another Landy Dart at the Mopar Nats that is already restored. Did he campaign two cars that year?

Kevin, how did you find the Motion Chevelle? Your collection gets more amazing by the day! When does the museum open????

Dave, Yes he campaigned two cars. The other one is an automatic belonging to sixtiesmuscle Mike and mine is a 4 speed.

The Baldwin Motion Chevelle was found by someone other than me, and I obtained the photo with the purchase of the car. When I bought it, it was already in process of restoration.

Kevin,
Do you know the production number of the Dart you just aquired? Was it an early or late car of the 55 built? I know of another one owner all original from a former Hurst employee that might be bought.

Kevin did you buy the Hemi Convert thru Fred E out of Minnesota? I think he was the guy that was also involved in trying to sell the Sox & Martin Cuda that was on E-bay in January. I believe that a couple of board members bid on that car.

BTW I love the "as found" pics of your Chevelle! Was the car repainted in it's life? I did not see a Motion paint scheme in the photo.

Frank
Many of the real life Motion cars never had a special paint scheme. AMT/ERTL diecast is the one guilty of spreading the misconception that all the cars had special paint. ERTL put the Motion paint scheme on everything to sell product knowing that many people will buy one of each. I'm waiting to see when ERTL will bring out a John Deere Tractor in Motion stripes.

Kevin, would you mind sharing some of those other pics of your Motion cars that aren't on your website with us here?
