Motion Invoice
I was looking over the Motion Invoices(three pages) for 'Rat Bird' a total of $10,700.00 over and above the Cost of a highly optioned out Trans/Am (two page window sticker) MSRP $8,735.00.
$19,435.00 total. That was quite a bit of $$$$ back then IMO. Anyway ,I found it very interesting that there is a special notation on the invoive with a double asterisk and then signed by the original owner, it reads " This is a race automoblile brought here and to be picked up in a truck with the understanding that the car is to be for of road racing use only". Just thought it was [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] the way Motion performance was covering their #@%& ,on one serious performance car.

Re: Motion Invoice
It runs a bit rich. I haven't had the chance to put any miles on it,yet.
I believe the original owner had a licence plate that said 'RATBIRD'.

Re: Motion Invoice
After a bit of reading and checking I believe that Motion called all the Phase III FireBirds 'Rat Birds'.
The LS6 Short Block/990 heads(LS7) installed by Motion has a stamping on the Deck which reads RB 111 8. This could translate to Rat Bird ,Phase III ,number 8, but I am just speculating. Does anyone know for certain? I did have a chance to play with the car this weekend [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]and it was quite a bit of fun. The aspect which is most notable IMO is the 3,500-3,600 rpm hole shot B&M conveter. It is alot of stall for the street, but seems to work very well when you get used to it. I did mark a few choice locations with two Wide Black Rubber streaks. I know it's Childish but I just couldn't resist [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: Motion Invoice
If making the rear tires do some real work is childish, then I guess I'm still a child. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
