Default 1978 BALDWIN MOTION PERF TRANS AM " RAT BIRD"

Did anybody else see this? It is supposed to be signed by Joel Rosen.
I did not realize that they (motion) were making these type of cars into the late 70's. Did they make any Motion Camaros in the late 70's????????

Link: 78 Motion "Rat Bird"

Wow!

Rich

Thanks Frank.
I wonder if the paperwork "goes" with the car!

So, am I correct in assuming that this is a "1 off" car?

Wow, you never know!

Motion Performance was building cars for 30 years aprox early 1960s into 1990s.
Don't know how many Ratbirds but had to be more then one.

Any speculation as to whether the aftermarket hood cars in this pic have Chevy engines in them?

with the USA-1 plates...

Pontiac guys - those lights in the grill are not original? correct? (most likely added by Motion?)

Possibly no engine in the two T/A with aftermarket hood
on this pic.
Just for the show
