[69hurstSC]

I was able to get Fritz (former owner) to post about his old Motion.

Could you imagine buying this car when the price of gas just went up 300%? Whew.

Very cool. What’s your friend’s name that was the OO?

Fritz

Does he have any original Motion paperwork to help identify the car?

Unfortunately no. We've tried a couple of different avenues (county clerk, DMV records request) to locate it to no avail. He didn't retain any of the old paperwork. I also saw that Marty Schorr noted Joel Rosen isn't verifying cars anymore.

did the can have any Motion emblems on it when new?

Love it! There's only a few '74 Camaros I've seen modified by Motion. This one looks awesome! Would love to know where it ended up

What was the trans also any word if it had a Hone-OD?
Pipes appear similar style to the ones on Member Thomam's '72 Motion Chevelle as this thread...

Try the Insurance company you insured it through? They keep very good records for a very long time.

What an awesome car. Hope it turns up

[69hurstSC]

The insurance company is out of business. The car sold locally so hopefully someone will recognize it.

Just realized a couple Motion ads I had saved are likely this ‘74 Motion Camaro Fritz had to sell for school.
Interesting is one ad’s from 500 miles away in Macon GA w/ different Ph.#, maybe where he was going to school?:hmmm:
He must’ve driven it there/back or been busy enjoying it as note mileage doubles in the month between ads.
Any updates on this one Wes?

That's it exactly, Pete!!

Great detective work, Pete!

I'm surprised the trail has gone cold on this one.

[69hurstSC]

The trails been cold for nearly 50 years.

I put together a display for Mopars in the Park featuring White Bear Dodge sold cars. I had been looking for Alan Page's old '71 Super Bee for about 9 months leading up to the show. We eventually found a very similar car and had it lettered up.

While I was standing at my table a man walked up to me and said, "you know that's not Alan's old car, right?" I said, "yes, i know". He then proceeded to tell me how his best friend died in that car hitting a cement bridge post shortly after buying it off the White Bear Dodge lot.

There's a chance this car never made it much more beyond being sold.
