As I said in my post I am giving my opinion. I am not trying to make any rules new or old and not implying any opinion on market value. Whichever one the market determines is of higher value is fine with me and does not matter as far as the history of the cars. I am more interested in the history of the cars but of course I do watch the market also. Any hi performance car is a great piece of automotive history no matter what dealer sold it.
My opinion on the Motion cars -- if it did not go through Baldwin Auto Sales it is not a Baldwin/Motion car. It is a Motion Performance car. I see the Nickey/Thomas cars as a different situation. The original adds beginning in late 1966 state that Nickey and Thomas were both building 427 Camaros. So you have the Nickey/Thomas relationship clearly stated in the original ads. There are ads for 1967 427 Dana/Yenko Camaros so there was some type of relationship with Dana but unfortunately not much is known about these 67 Yenkos as yet. The 1969 Yenko documents state that the cars were built by "Yenko Sports Cars Inc. The leading producer of Hi Performance Chevrolet Based Vehicles." If Douglas made his own Yenko ID kit it would have been an illegal copy but they reached an agreement and Douglas made a legal copy. Usually in the collector world a copy is a copy. Authorized or not it is never the same as an original produced by the original creator. The Douglas story is interesting. I am giving my opinions on a something that happened many years ago and I was not there and do not wish to make Mr. Douglas feel he or his cars are being talked about in a negative way.
