67 Motion SS Chevelle
 

Years ago I saw one of these outstanding cars and always wanted to have one. I am new to this car market and would value any advice on how to find such a car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

The color was blue.

Did you know Charlie at all Joe? According to that article, he and his brother both owned Motion cars and they purchased the old 'Hi Performance Cars' sponsored Motion S/S Camaro (the white/blk vinyl topped one I'm guessing?), and was converting that 10.?? sec ride for the street.

I would see the car at Motion and I asked him some questions about the car-- I was impressed by his car and decided I would like to try and buy one.Never talked to his brother Joe, but the wht/blk camaro was at Motion and Joe Mason bought it.His Chevelle was advertisement on wheels for Motion --always a crowd around

YEARS AGO, BACK IN THE EARLY 80'S THERE USED TO BE A BURGUNDY OR PLUM CHEVELLE AROUND WITH 427 BADGES FRONT AND REAR [BEFORE THEY REPRODUCED THEM] 427 FLAGS AND IN THE DAUL WHITE STRIPE IN FRONT OF THE REAR WHEELHOUSE IT SAID MOTION! SEEN IT AT ATCO DRAGWAY AND ON SATURDAY NIGHTS AT THE STREET RACES. I HEARD THAT CAR WAS DESTROYED IN AN ACCIDENT. LAST SEEN IN BURLINGTON NJ.

GTODON,
Did the car have a wht/vinyl or wht/painted roof??

Re: 67 Motion SS Chevelle
 

NO JOE, IT WAS ALL BURGUNDY. BUT IM THINKING THE CAR WAS ROYAL PLUM! DEFINETLY SURE ABOUT IT BEING AN SS427. I KNOW THERES ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY DONT EXIST,BUT YOU CANT FORGET SEEING A CAR LIKE THAT. EVEN IF ITS BEEN 20+ YEARS.
