"The problem was / is that I want to restore it back to GM specs but get stuck on the 427 parts."

Its all good. The car has always been known as a super car in my neck of the woods. The late boyfriend of the girl who owned the car before me wrenched for a NHRA Div. 1 B/M Camaro in the "Grumpy" days. So with out him and paper work its what we call in my profession a "cold case".

I have researched all that I can short of Paying Joel for confirmation.

What are the main indicators pointing to this car being a Motion car? Is the ex- b/f deceased? or does 'late' just mean ex?

Just a thought but if the owner was a NHRA Division 1 wrench why would he spend the big cake to buy a Motion prepared car? What I mean is if he was an experienced wrench at that time why would he spend the big money for Motion to do to a car what he could have done himself for less than half of the money?

Another possible angle comes from the stories about the "stolen" musclecars cars that were converted to drag-only cars by their owners. Someone else on this forum speculated that owners used to report their cars "stolen," collect the insurance money, and then spend it on converting the car to a track-only car. Probably a widespread scam throughout the years. It's possible that there are a few Motion cars out there that have spent the last 30+ years on the strip with no clue as to their origin.

How's that for compelling speculation?
