I'd like to see the evidence of the Motion emblems on the fenders, (which were stuck on with 2 sided tape not pinned) or SOMETHING that looks untouched that would have been done at Motion...It may just be a bunch of "Motion-esque" speed parts piled around a rusty chevelle to get people scratching their heads wondering, or it could be a legit car... What sux is without any paperwork or proof, it really doesn't make much difference, as you'd never be 100% sure. A build sheet from Baldwin, or even some vintage poloroids from a past owner would go a long way... right now its just a rusty hulk, a hone-o-drive, and about 100.00 worth of other crusty speed parts you could find on ebay in about a hour's worth of searching...
It DOES make ya wonder though....

This is one of those cars you wish you could crawl around and scrutinize in person, instead of looking at a few photos on the 'net. At least you won't get filthy or stung by any wasps looking at it online...

I emailed the guy for more pics so we'll see

All Good points Joe.
I too emailed the seller for more specifcs,especially releasing the rearend suffix code that could identify it as a true LS-5 or LS-6,if it's original to this Chevelle.
Who do we have in Tuscon...

Yes...that's true. Tucson is about one hour away...if I drive really fast. I'm no expert on Chevelles, though...Heck, I just got mine not too long ago...

Hmmmm...who else lives here and knows Chevelles....Sam...are you reading this?

$25K gamble on a rusted Chevelle with no paperwork that Joel can't document. Sounds like the odds are better in Vegas on the tables.

I am here also and have owned a couple of chevelles but not the expert..

.. grew up in tucson, there used to be some really fast cars down there.. a nickey and some copos at the local speed shops and one of the mechanics the family knew had a gold copo that really rocked. too much horsepower for our chasis dyno back then.. I don't remember details except they couldn't keep traction on the drums with the cheater slicks on it but remember all the mechanics talking about it when I was a kid.
