Charley, most likely you have seen this from MaddMikes pages but just in case you havent. Also notice there are no Phase I or II cars.

Rat Bird is also a Phase III, per the Motion invoices [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

One of the old Motion catalogues explained the differences between the phases.

It looks like the contents of the phase 3 package varied with model and the year. This is for 69.
Phase 3 Camaro
On a Corvette, mag wheels and sidepipes were included with Phase 3.

Joel used the term "Phase III" to describe the top of the line more exotic options. The Phase III car was the one that ran in the 11's. Motion also used the terms - Phase III fiberglass, Phase III ignition box, Phase III emblems, Phase III graphics, and Phase III engines. The cars were custom built and used similar parts but probably none were exactly the same. Phase III was big HP and big money. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

My question is...What makes a Motion car a Phase 3 ? I know my 80 Motion had Phase 3 on the Motion paperwork and on a Decal on the car. Seems like they are all Phase 3 cars now.

Charley, is as knowledgable as anyone here, and of course not all Motion cars are Phase III. So I'm typing this for others that may be curious. Some Motion cars were only 427 crate motor transplants retaining stock exhaust and all factory equipment just like a 427 COPO Camaro; and therefore not a Phase III. Those Motion 427 crate motor transplant Camaros, were equivalent to GM Factory 427 COPO Camaros, and were pretty tame when compared to the Phase III Cars.

In my opinion, Yenko (COPO) Camaros are tame in comparison to the Phase III Motion Cars and is why I appreciate Motion Phase III Cars more. If Charley's question is interpreted as, why are all of Kevin's Cars listed as Phase III Cars, it is because they were equipped as Phase III Cars beyond just a 427 crate motor transplant car. Charley's Phase III Camaro is also a whole lot more than just stuffing a 427 crate motor in a Camaro.

Also, Joe C is right in that the term Phase III was used loosely and covered a lot of equipment on Motion Cars, and no two Phase III Motion cars were the same.

In my opinion COPO and Yenko it is a serial cars.
Similar to Shelby GT.
Motion is not a serial cars
No motion cars were really identical.
Motion it is more an Hot-Rodded cars
ZLX Camaro look like more a pro-street [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
built for the world which was not able or did not have the time to do it but which had money for this paying it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]
Pro street a la carte.(on order)
Just my opinion.
