68 vet motion? vin # 194378S423906

Is there any motion owners who can tell me exact parts 0n a 68 or 69? STILL looking 4 answers !!!!!!! I'm willing to get part #s from the car!! any body even like this car?

As most have said, the parts that Motion typically used were off the shelf speed parts. Also since Motion ran a large mail order operation, many of these parts were sold to enthusiasts who would save the bucks and create their own Motion cars with parts ordered through the catalog to replicate the cars they would read about in the magazines. Unfortunately, your car does not seem to have some of the unique Motion parts which will make it enven more difficult to document.

Really the only thing you can do is find previous owners and try to trace the histroy back though the years. It might even be worthwhile to hire a PI if you run into a dead end. I don't think you are going to find answers here without doing a lot of detective work on your own. I've owned 5 Baldwin Motion cars and they have all been equipped differently. No two seem to be alike and without paperwork, you only have a modified car like thousands of others out there. Good luck in your hunt.

Thank you I was trying to do some of the hunting here but no real luck. Let me ask you whats a modified vet worth ? approximately? and I know its what some one would pay so I'm looking for real answers!! NCRS says they are not worth much. what do you all say!there is'nt any books on them

rear end has end caps, not u bolts, so probabley an original bb car, shouldn't it have a 9 leaf for a rear spring as a hi-po car? gotta crawl under my 68 and take a look, this looks like a really nice modified car, still has short hood and looks like work was done back in the day. Remove some current "layers of cheese" (foot pedals,floor mats, mid console) and this looks like a great car. It's worth what somebody will pay. I'd drag it home but my wife already looks at me sideways, its a sin to be scared of a 118lb woman, but I have my reasons.
