Call in Casey Marks on this one. His uncle Jack Raced a 68 Ram Rod that I think was breathed on by Motion. Casy has articles about the Motion prepared 68 Olds.

Those are some pretty tough looking oldsmobiles. I think i have a picture of a 69 that might even be a hurst olds & it say's COMMOTION on the side of it. Was that a Motion built Race car?

Nice scans and photos are terrific Dog. Looks like Olds beat FoMoCo by one year with the "Mach 1".

yes, those are Motion built. I heard there was even a Toronado from Markowitz that "got the treatment".
Never saw it, maybe Bigfoot. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Thanks for the Articles, I would guess this Olds would be super rare today and would bring tons of cash? I just never heard of it so had to ask... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I sold the 1969 H/O that became commotion by Motion. I sold the Hurst Olds to a man in Woodstock Ct. He had it built by Motion. It ran G/SS class. After it broke a record he traded it back in to me and I owned it for about 4 years. It was quite a car.

Welcome aboard olds442! Good info. Any pix of your old mount? What dealership did you sell it from originally? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
