The 1975 (vol.6, number 1 ) Issue of "Chevy hi-performance & accessory Guide" has an article on a "rolling Test vehicle" that was equipped with a 350 LT1 motor with the "Edelbrock's Smokey Ram intake with a single carburater and a "Paxton supercharger".

The Gov. was going to fine Joel something like 10K for every car that he sold with air polution devices disconnected. Joel had to get a lawyer and go to DC. They made a settlement where Joel had to agree to stop selling cars for highway use. The Gov. used the car magazine articles about Motion to make their case on him.
I have seen 2 Motion built BB Vegas in old magazines maybe a few more were built but not many.
There were also some with turbos, and one was a woody wagon. The place were Joel bought the Vegas also sold their own V8 Vega and sold the Yenko Stinger Vega.
