Re: MOTION FIREBIRD
That Yenko Trans Am went through Mecum in 2010, no-sale at $82,500, and a year later it was put through Mecum again, this time only bid to $73,000, still no-sale
After a few years off, it's going through Mecum again n Jan 2014. I thought it was a pretty cool car, but again, a Chevy powered 1975 Pontiac isn't very appealing to Pontiac collectors.

Re: MOTION FIREBIRD
Funny, I just posted about that engine in the new crate engine LS7 thread yesterday. Before I sold that TA to Ed (rip), I took it out one more time to try and get the pedal to the floor. Doing around 100 in 4th, I tried to ease the pedal to the floor, no luck, just started to spin. It had vintage McCreary stars and flag tires though.

Re: MOTION FIREBIRD
You will likely never break even from investing in a true concours restoration on this particular car, however, most of us look at the financial return as a secondary consideration, and the intrinsic value as the primary motivation for restoring a car. If you are just looking to maximize your financial gain, you're better off selling it prior to restoration. Sounds like a cool car.

Popular HotRodding January 1974 would be my guess but how would I know? I don't know what your car looks like....

Re: MOTION FIREBIRD
Street Power magazine December 1976 has a four page article on Motion Firebirds. Also, Martyn Schorr produced a publication in 1978 called Pontiac Trans-Am, Americas Premier Ponycar. There's quite a bit of Motion information in both magazines. Hope this helps.
