Motion Firechicken's era 74?

Pontiac friend of mine sent me this today:

Must have been just before Motion was shut down by the DOJ. Looks like one of them has a L88 hood (Phase III poss??) and what I *think* may be a Buick in the work bay?

Anyone know of any surviving today?

I love the Chevrolet USA#1 plate that looks to be on each of them.

A 1970 SS Chevelle for sure in the "Bay" a 1969 GS-400 Skylark on the far left (I had a Stage 1 in High School) JMO FWIW

3 1974s and a '75. Always wondered what happened to those cars, that's a pretty popular Motion pic.

Either the middle right or middle left Firebird is under-going a restoration in NYC. The owner bought it in like 1980 with a stash of receipts in the glove box. Turns out one was a Motion work order. Judy's handwriting on the invoice dated like 1974. It is a red car, 454 LS6, auto, L88 hood. Cool car. Haven't spoken to the owner in a few years but I met him. Nice guy.

I was aware of the 1974 Phase III Camaro in Iran, but not the T/A. Interesting.

Here is some information for the one on the far right. Just in case anyone is going to Iran looking for it.
