Re: True piece of Motion fame: A real National Record
That NHRA certificate is a cool item.
Looking through a scrapbook of photos of Motion sponsored drag cars, I see the 70 MP Camaro was a NHRA national record holder in 70,71,72,73. It is painted on the car in different photos in the 3 different paint colors. Also interesting that it ran in at least 3 different classes. - A/MP, B/MP, C/GAS

Re: True piece of Motion fame: A real National Record
 this diecast has the Kaufman and Cancilleri names on the door just like the ribbon version. It didn't make it to the yellow one.

Re: True piece of Motion fame: A real National Record
Here's my favorite piece of Motion Memorabilia...this was my first SCR when Joel came with his 4 buddies (John, Gary, Phil, Marty)...I had this 1969 Supercar Club Membership letter (w/ envelope) that I had all 5 guys sign and took a pic of each of them signing it for authentication...Joel said it's been a long time since he's seen one of those...the envelope was postmarked June 12, 1969.

That Motion car earned its feed....I knew you'd have that info JoeC....  [/ QUOTE ] JoeG did you ever see it run? Sounds like it did run well. Looked good also in all 3 colors but the ribbon paint job was extra cool. Noticed no "Baldwin" on the yellow painted version.

.............. Noticed no "Baldwin" on the yellow painted version. [/ QUOTE ] the car says "Baldwin NY" underneath "MOTION" but I think that Baldwin Chevrolet was already Lyon Chevy by mid 1973, not sure when the Camaro was painted yellow.

I know Joel R bought my Motion Monte SS new from there in 1987

Of course anyone can dispute this as I am old, forgetful, balding and only human. Dog, have you pictures or old newspapers scanned with dates to back me up or shoot me down?
