Cool stuff Bruce, amazing you worked at the same paper then also were so close to the White Nickey Nova. Great plate info too but besides indicating it was a CA car in '69, would this in any way also indicate original owner selling or did CA Plates always stay w/ cars when sold so could be a few owners later? Here's an 08/76 Louisiana ad w/ Phase-3 ZLX Motion car, no model noted but 2-Dr. Post so likely a Nova? There's pics online of others but what's anyone know of any Motion '75 Nova Supercars built/existing? ~ Pete .

Sorry for straying off track w/ the '75-up cars but they're a cool part of the BB Nova Supercar story also some of the last gasps of real performance available w/ EPA etc making it difficult for conversion groups or any Chevrolet Dealers still doing such a thing. Looking for info on the above '75 ZLX Phase-3 Motion car, I was reading the below Super Chevy mag article which mentions Motion cars but seems to push Nickey also notes little about the Hopper Chevrolet 454/450 conversion Nova they had on hand to test. What years were Hopper offering Supercar conversions also what Hopper BB Novas or other of their cars are known built/existing? ~ Pete .

I bought a bunch of emblems back in the day from Eddie Hopper in Garden Grove-I used to run and get parts there also, when I worked for Hardin Oldsmobile in Anaheim. There and Cone Chevrolet in Fullerton...and Guaranty Chevrolet in Santa Ana

Cool you knew Eddie Hopper Chev also the other dealers Bruce. Here's a '72 Hopper ad, hard to read but notes both Jack Richardson and Jim Tom were formerly w/ Harry Mann Chevrolet. Next is another Santa Ana ad from 01/77 w/ L88 Nova @ $450! Hard to believe price, no year noted but CA Plate HSY-465. ~ Pete .
