Chevelle Motion on Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewItem&item=261037531787&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fww w.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D26 1037531787%26_rdc%3D1)

Implies that the employee of Motion knows the car. That would make all the difference to me if that is true (as a post buy upgrade that is).

Rare indeed... an Ls6 backed by an M21. Interested to hear/see what you find.

I thought you could only get the 454 with a m22? I thought it went for both the ls5 and ls6.

Nice car..part seem legit. The silver stripe ruins it for me. Not the stripe but the color. Would silver have really been used back then? White would have been better. Silver/black to me is a modern paint trend....kinda equate it with a pro touring/modern/billet look.

Car has the first edition Lakewood/NMW bars, early Stahl cable drive tach etc.

Great if the Motion story's true but the ad seems to also imply it's an original LS6 car yet none were built here in Canada.

What's the deal with the Corvette appearing distributor shielding?

Sold Price: $12,100

this car was traded last year for $12,100.00 ??
no mention of MoTioN in that old ad. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif

* also you can clearly see there is NO motion label on the fender in that older picture

I don't see in the ad where the guy is claiming it to be a FACTORY LS-6 car. He just says it is a real factory BB car and presently has a built LS-6 engine. Strange that he has the GM of Canada paperwork, but he does not post it as he makes a big deal about it in the ad. Don't see anything special about it as far as Motion goes, but would be cool if one of the past owners did work there.

A neat story, but don't think it materially affects the value of the car versus any other non-original 70 Chevelle in similar condition. IMHO, if it was something like Billy Mitchell's personal car and was used by Motion to test out some parts and was featured in some vintage Hi Performance CARS magazines, then it would be something collectable to a Motion enthusiast, but still would not be valued anywhere close to an invoiced Baldwin Motion car.

Spent many yrs &quot;airing&quot; the cars out on Ocean Pkwy as I grew up right near it. Started as a little kid with my Old man needing to &quot;take the car for a good run&quot; later it was the test track for all the hotrods, still is. Beautiful 10 mile stretch of road built in the 20's

Seems it had no Docs last year now it does? it had a 5 speed in it also when last sold it looks like.

[PxTx]

What are the chances someone painted a Chevelle with Phase III striping, and it coincidentally turned out to have some Motion connection? Maybe there was an undoccumented story that followed the car and that is what &quot;inspired&quot; the person to paint it this way. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

The 5 speed it had and 3.08 gears? I hope the gears were chanced or that Hone-O-Drive will be worthless to use.

[Jeff Murphy]

A dealer code of 27055 as listed in the ebay ad would equate to Zone 27 Dealer 55 would it not? Zone 27 is New York according to NCRS?

[owners2]

The Baldwin Zone was 27 &amp; dealer code 019.

That stripe scheme was Camaro only
