Re: motion nova advertised on craigslist
There was a dark colored/black 68-72 Nova in Hot Cars/Rodder and Super Stock?? magazine around 1973 or so. Not sure of color because it was a black and white feature-remember seeing it 10-12 years ago. Motion conversion car. Motion put in the Lt-1 350 engine, tranny and rear gears, suspension and set up the ignition. Car retained stock SS hood, stock paint. Car ran Cragar SS, M/t valve covers and NO flyeye air cleaner-Ran stock chrome GM I believe. I recall the only Motion insignia were the Motion badge on each M/T valve cover.
This was your typical Motion conversion car. Take off the 2 badges and these cars blended in as typical street machine of the day..probably why so few are around...no one knows what they have.
Joel did a ton of these cars and how he can say for certaintity based upon a unfinished/half complete car is beyond me unless he has paperwork/prior owners name he specifically remembers or if there is something on the car which was really unique-that stayed on the car.
