GTO + Motion = ?

what does the plate frame say?

[Steve_Hoog]

The frame says "Royal" on the bottom, can't read the top. The plate is "GM0275" and "Great Lake State", there is more on the top but can't make it out. Probably manufacturing plates. There is also a Motion sticker one valve cover. I'm scanning the article now and should have most of it up on my web site later today, AWESOME magazine!!!! Nov 68 Hi-Performance, tons of Super Car stuff.

You know it's only a Ramair II car, but I bet some one got their butt in trouble for letting a snapshot be taken with those plates on a car that was being tested at a drag strip.

HOLLY COW, your Firebird has the GM plates too leaving the line.

Just remember the Pontiac was NOT involved with drag racing.
