So I was wondering if there were any Motion/Yenko 1971 or 72 Chevelle's made? I have not seen any so I was curious.
Also were there any 1974-77 Camaro Yenko/Motions made? I know of a blue '74 Motion but that is all.
Thanks for your help! Also if you have pics of these cars, post them up!

Yes. In the motion book there is a sleeper type 72 chevelle on page 159 & could have been more. And there was a few 74-77 camaros built .

No one has any more pictures of the Chevelle's or Camaro's?
I also found a Muscle Car Review magazine from June? 2011 that has a 1974 Nickey Camaro and am about to order one of those for myself.

This is a '71 Motion Chevelle SS. Had an LS6, Nitrous system, along with some suspension mods and bullet proof paper.

Would be nice for these options and prices to still be valid?

Well I can't think of anything right off hand... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif
that blue 71 is not a good example of a 71 Motion Chevelle because it was modified by Motion as a used car mid 70s
only a few Baldwin Motion Chevelles were built 71-73
only one in 73

Where did he say Baldwin Motion? Exemplary car because of fantastic paper and retention of all Motion Performance goodies.

I figured it wasn't an "original" motion from other internet searches, and it has nitrous? I knew they didn't put that on in 1970-72 anyway. Still an amazing Chevelle though! And I've seen pictures of the '73, unique car but still kinda ugly...hate to say it but it's just my opinion <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif
that's why I said it's not a good example of a 1971 Motion Chevelle. A 1971 Motion, built in 1977, will have many different parts then a 1971 car built in 1971.
It is still a nice Motion car, just not the same as a 1971 build.
I also like the 73 Motion Chevelle, it has a great hisory and paper

Here is a youtube video of a ride along in what is said to be a 1971 Baldwin Motion Chevelle.. You can see the car has what looks like the Phase III Corvette hoodscoop molded to the Chevelles Cowl Induction hood... Sounds and runs like a Motion car would.. You can tell it's a 4 speed car. but there is no outside shots of it and here are the only details listed:
"1971 Baldwin Motion Chevelle ss 454 LS6 original"
"One of very few cars left! This one is original, same owner since early 70's. 5 min ride through Vermont, last min he cleans out the cobwebs. Thanks uncle John!"
Does anyone know this car?

I saw that video too when I searched for it on google. Really wished they would show the outside of the car!

Speaking of Nickey, here is Kevin Suydam's 73 Nickey Nova.
1973 Nickey Nova (http://corvettes-musclecars.com/gallery2/v/al_chevrolet/1973+Nickey+L88+427+Nova/)

^ I saw that nova before on his website, looks good.
So back to the original question- Does anyone have any modern pictures of a Motion 1971-72 Chevelle's? There is the blue Chevelle that was modified later, but any originals out there?
