did joel mark the CE blocks that were used ?

[ghostvette]

hello anyone in the know did joel use a sideward # after code to designate anything ???

[ghostvette]

also is it true there are only 2 1968 motion camaros known to exist?

[mhassett]

Todd, there are (2) Blue '68 "BALDWIN" MOTION SS Camaro's -- The (2) Rally Sports have Not Turned up. The Rally Sports are the ones that Joel used in his ads -- they were jacked up and had side pipes, the (2) blue cars are kind of subtle.

There are at least 5 real '68 BM Camaros that survived, so there are probably a few more out there tucked away in someone's garage.

So back to the original question, did Motion put any distiguishing marks on the engines they installed?

[JRSully]

I saw Joel's Green 70 LS7 Camaro in the process being restored by Island Musclecars on Long Island ( I understand it wasn't finished by them) but I had many chances to see the car up close, the original engine DID have a motion specific stamp on the stamping pad under the pass head, believe it was something like MP12343.... I think Joel still has the car.?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Was that Timken's car?

[JRSully]

I believe Timken finished the car, very interesting story that goes along with it from what I remember, they had Joel's last Motion Vette as well (73.?) Marlin PM'd you. SULLY
