Motion SS427 Badge

[AussieVette]

After JoeC mentioned that the SS427 badges seen on the Motion Corvettes were the same as the badge on the trunk of a 1968 Impala SS427 I wanted to see for myself.

Finally after a week of searching I found a rear view picture of one of these cars on a web site.

Not overly clear but you can make out the SS427 badge is there.

Actually they are a very nice looking car in their own right

While researching other things for the Tech forum, I came across my copy of the Jan '69 issue of Rodder and Super/Stock magazine, which had both an road test of a '68 Phase III Motion Camaro, and an overview of building another '68 Phase III Motion car. The test car was black with a white stinger hood stripe that carried over the rest of the car. The conversion overview car was a lighter color, and kept the stock white SS nose/hockey stick stripe. The SS427 emblems are well featured on both cars, and are placed on either side of the Stinger scoop, plus a single one centered underneath the "Camaro by Chevrolet" emblem on the decklid. And they do match the one pictured above.

I purchased a 68 ralley green yenko camaro in 1988 with these same ss427 emblems on front fenders.It had been a local drag car so I figured someone put them on later.It also had unusual yenko medalions.Rather than the red white and blue 69 style it had the metal dealer yenko badge cut down with no stars and bars.They were mounted in the usual places.Tag in door was 8016.It was one of the first cars built on 5/3/68.Maybe some went out with 68 ss427 on them.
