You can look at this web page for information about how to verify that it is a real Motion car or not.
By the way, it should be spelled Camaro, not camero.

Since you posted all of the numbers I am guessing that you want to know what they mean?

1= Chevrolet
Q= Camaro
87= Camaro sport coupe
T= 350CI V8, 245 HP (Z28)engine
3= 1973
N= Norwood Ohio assembly plant
186287 =sequence number

Trim tag
ST= style
73= year, 1973
1FQ87=Camaro sport coupe
N= Norwood Ohio assembly plant
168496 body sequence number
775 Standard black vinyl interior
A51 bucket seats
48 48= Midnight green paint.
07A= First week of July
Z28 Z28
ZR8 white sport stripes

Geez, I always ask this...got any pics? See if you can track down the original owner of the car and find out the history...many times these guys still have the original paperwork (to try and verify it) somewhere.

Does the car have any Motion emblems with it? Sometimes you can find old holes drilled for sidepipes, tach, or a CD box.
