Information/history of a 72 Motion Camaro in NC

[Chris KH2PM]

Here's more regarding the SBC manifolds..

The manifolds are not a mistery, I know why they are there. I talked to the guy who owned the car before the guy I bought it from and he said the big block gave him problems so the trans shop owner he worked for exchanged the eng. for a lame but running small block so he could get the car running again so he could sell it.

Thanks Scott!

So the car had the original GM Z/28 paint scheme back then? Then at some point someone painted the black/grey?

I thought this was a light coat of primer over the blue/white ??

Ah, I see.. Well then my next question is this. Isn't the striping scheme a little off from the typical Motion striping?

NICB is still doing reports, had a very ballsy contact call NICB direct with my VINS about 2 months ago and they gave him the dealers and date delivered on both of my cars

When we looked at it back in 1984, the paint was blue with white stripes and the white continued down the rear fenders and to a point on the side. Just like in the current pictures. Somebody painted over the blue with brown primer and repainted it with a black or dark grey metalflake paint and copied over the stripes with dark silver metalic. I have been told that the MOTION stripes were not based on a stencil. They were taped up by hand, therefore no two cars will have the exact same stripe layout. The black and white picture above is basically exactly like this one is painted. The angle that one views the car makes the curve down the rear fender look different I guess.

I think this may be the odd striping that Darren was referring to:

I have seen many motion cars & articles showing the paint scheme & some look thicker than others & some taper longer than others.yes they were done by hand so no 2 cars were probably exact.
