Now we are talkin!! Love those old Pro Stock pictures. From the Gremlin to the Hornet. Saw that Baldwin car run when it was brand new with no lettering yet. Car always was a winner. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

What fabulous pictures!! - Do you know where that first shot was taken?
Is that the far corner of Motions building?

Sure looks similar to that part of the building to me. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Imagine the activity going on there every day. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

here is a better shot of that bumped out corner of building, the door with the 600 is up by that camaro's fender http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

I see the glass block is gone from the facade and the paint is fresh, my photos are 73 or 74.

Very cool Pics! Here's another angle also showing the pumps.
Probably about the same year of those color ones.

Does anybody have any pictures of the whole shop from across Sunrise, from the LIRR, etc.? That would be neat to see.

I'm not a T/A guru, but those look like ~74-75 vintage in the B/W photo.

Does anyone know anything about the 2nd Gen Camaro that's in front of the Vette? And the Vette convertable is really cool looking.

Off topic..Those are 3 digit Tokheim 39 "Short" gas pumps.
They were prominent in the 1950's and used mainly in rural areas.
In general,a 39 "Short" in decent shape today brings $500 +.
I would imagine the ones in this MOTiON pic,if found today &amp; MOTiON documented could bring substanially more.The majority of the 39 "Shorts" had no ad glass below the face plate,but it was a scarcely available option..THOSE DO.
Those 20" Revere island bonnet porcelain lamps are just as deseriable as those pumps today.
WOW! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I'm checking behind the garage now, I may have one of those rare Motion cinder blocks.

Car went to Hawaii. Have heard a rusted hulk was found, but not sure if this is rumor or fact.

Tranny/engine/wheelie bars and two rims are found. Car was said to be part of the reef due to severe rusting from the body being acid dipped but I still look for that VIN on all the 70s I come across http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[/ QUOTE ] http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gifCare to share the Vin? I know you would probably love to find the car for yourself but at least if more people knew the Vin. maybe the car will actually surface &amp; be brought back to life .
