Who knows what about Motion Vega's ?

[BobRSSS]

Hi, I have a 73 Vega that I think maybe an original Motion Vega. It came with a 12 bolt that was from a 68 Camaro that has an era correct Cal Custom finned cover on it, Cragers, and a Motion sticker on the rear pass window. These things alone aren't much ,but the car was built in St. Theresa ,Quebec,Canada. the guy that I bought it from didn't know much about it. But,the guy who owned it before is a muscle car dealer that I know of. He is a big fat guy and he kept the Vega in a warehouse for several years. He never did anything with it, but he told everybody that it was a real Motion Vega. I guess he didn't feel like spending alot of money to have it authenticated. Anyway, I don't think the 68 Camaro 12 bolt came with it, but maybe the cover did. I emailed Joel Rosen and he want $2000.00 to authenticate it and that's with no guaranty. Can anybody out there tell me if there is a way to trace down a VIN number (from 73)back to the dealership it was sold from? Vin # 1v77b32121538

What does being a "big fat guy" have to do with anything?

[BobRSSS]

Not personal! Just that the guy was too big to fit in the Vega . He's more of a Chevelle size guy.

Hey Christopher, can you get those pics up?

Maybe ask the Mods to move this to the BM section? Are there people that don't read all sections? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Being it's Canadian built, GM Canada Vintage services should be able to document the cars original options and to what Dealer Code it was shipped..
Even if it comes up as shipped to Baldwin Chevy or another GM Dealer close to Motion, nothing's for sure Joel modified it...but you may be a step closer..

OK ,I contacted Canada GM, and for a mear 58.00 Canuck bucks, if the car was made or sold in Canada,they will send you all info on the car. Including what dealership it went to. Does anybody out there have a 73 Vega front bumper?

I was noticing the same thing. There might be all kinds of neat things in there.
