OK Bob, thank you. My Z does not compare to those cars Vintage Certified! Those are a totally different caliber of automobile...

the Motion Can Am Corvette is not a recently discovered barn find, it was previously known to some Motion collectors as it was for sale on-line years ago.

there are pictures of it after hitting hard times, garage-less, and sitting outside under a pine tree in Maryland

It could have ended up as scrap, so glad to see a Motion collector rescued it

Wow, I don't get over here enough I guess.

Yeah, looking for any Barn Find original cars. Already have a bunch of sweet stuff lined up.

If you have a project tucked away, and it is a cool car. Let us know!

Yup, already know about that one. Guy doesn't want to move it.

But you never know what you might find out there.

So, Bob, does this qualify?

Well Steve, I would certainly say a factory 455 H/O Formula is indeed a rare find. So...what's the story?

Special order black (a non-available color for 1972), One of 10 Canadian 455HO Formulas, and one of 276 total 455HO Formulas produced. In storage since the second owner passed away several years ago.

The new thread is already rolling along as we speak:

This would be a great candidate! This car is not going anywhere for a long time. One of my friends found it.
