----So Joels own words are not good enough? Also,,,I worked for Jack D and I'm sure he probably never heard of Motion or Joel. Jack was somewhat of a gear head but he cared a lot more about making money. He once told me that when a friend came to him to by a car he didn't give them a deal, he charged them over the sticker price. He said that they could afford it!....Bill S

maybe theres a middle ground on that statement from Joel... he was probably vague in his response.
The reality of it was Joel and the gang didnt know about the COPO 427 program early enough to get into it for their cars.. And by the time they did , it probably didnt matter anyway because they were using the L-88 (not L-72) for most of their customers anyway. In the long run it may have also been cheaper for them to use an over the counter L-88 instead of starting with a COPO built car anyway. at least thats what my thoughts were on Joels statement. To believe he hadnt heard about the program AT ALL is nonsensical especially if marty put one in his magazine.

Joel and I discussed this a few times and from my recollection, back then he was unaware of the COPO program. I see no reason for him to lie about it. In fact, most people hate to ever admit ignorance on any subject.
I have my thoughts as to why this might be the case but they are just a guess and I’m trying to stick to facts for this post. I can say there were a number of likely COPOs that Motion worked on, based on the docs. That was very interesting. -Kasey |
