2002 Motion Camaro
 

Just received some interesting news. It appears that the Camaro will go out in the same fashion as it begun, with Motion Performance producing a very limited number of ground pounding supercars. Joel Rosen has decided to pick up where he left off and get back into the production of hi-performance cars. The platform will be the 2002 Camaro. The cars will be modified at Matt Murphy's GMMG facility, with Berger Chevrolet, Grand Rapids, as the the only authorized dealer. Not only has Joel lent his name to the project, but is overseeing things, just as he did in the past. I am not for sure what will be under the hood, but Joel did tell me that it would surpass anything GMMG has produced so far. Hum.

Sounds like a winner to me! I am just wondering how they are going to stroke that LS-1 to 454 cubes so that it will be like the 70 Camaros! Any word if the cars will be painted like the originals?

Re: 2002 Motion Camaro
 

At this point, the paint scheme from the '70 Motion cars is being considered. This, and other items, such as wheels, hood, power plant, etc. are issues being decided as we speak, by Joel, Matt, Dennis, and others.

One thing I do know, Joel is very excited about geting back into the supercar hobby. Glad that the sYc was able to help coax Joel back into the hobby he helped create. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: 2002 Motion Camaro
 

How would you guys get the actual Camaro's? Build out for 2002 Camaro's had to be almost a year ago. Would the Camaro's be 03 models or very very late build 02's? I have two new 2002 Ford models left on my lot and and we are in panic mode trying to get rid of them since they are killer on the floor plan. How do you guys feel that they will be 2 model years old when they are done? The 2004 models are right around the corner.

It does seem like a cool idea none the less. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: 2002 Motion Camaro
 

The cars will be new, 2002 Camaros. That is one reason there will only be only a very limited number built. The search for "donor' cars began a few weeks ago, and I believe most, if not all, have been obtained. I would suggest that any one who is interested in one contact Dennis ASAP, as I knew several are already spoken for.

I think I heard a similar story somewhere before. Let's see, if I remember my old articles it happened sometime in 1967.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 2002 Motion Camaro
 

A 2002 Motion Camaro would be great if done right. No two Motion cars were exactly the same but Joel built his cars similar from 1967 to 1989. Motion glass hood, Motion rear wing, Motion stripes & emblems, side pipes, Grant wheel, Hurst shifter, M/P window decals, and a lot of HP. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
