Amazing, GLWS!!

An incredible piece! Usually Motion cars are a little more outrageous exterior-wise. This one is nice and sedate. GLWS

For registry purposes - any Motion papers or Baldwin invoice showing new car conversion?

Beautiful car!!!

Thanks

Auction description does not specifically say the car was an actual MOTION hands on prepared vehicle. That said if Joel authenticated the car or it has the original receipts from MOTION showing the prep and parts then that info should definitely be in the official vehicle description.

We have certified letters from Billy Mitchel that worked at Motion from 1967 to 1972 that there are certain items that were done to the car were done by him .Also we have all the owner history on the Camaro which has been a New Jersey car all its life. The Camaro was at the Camaro Nationals this year and was looked at by many judges; Steve , Dale etc . The Vin tag. Trim tag interior and exterior. Since Joel Rosen is in poor health he is not interested in authenticated any cars. There are posts on Face Book with these letters. All this information and approximately 100 pictures will be with the car at Barrett. thanks

Great news. That is a good and accurate presentation of the car's provenance that totally fits the legal and contractual requirements of the auction house.

Does Billy Mitchel recall if the add-ons were done before the car was delivered to the original owner or at a later date?

I had a chance to see the car and the portfolio of documents he had put together at the Camaro Nationals. He really researched and investigated the origins of the car from original owner to present.... GLWA

Exactly.

A bidder is going to want to know when the work was done as the parts used are normally associated with a later timeframe motion build.

As far as the information that I researched ;; First you went to Baldwin and ordered the car ; Then went to Motion and picked out the items that you wanted changed on the car then Motion would change these items and send the Motion invoice to Baldwin Chevrolet the customer would pay Baldwin for the final invoice. The modifications done on the Camaro were done at Motion ( as crude as they were per Billy !!!!!!!!)
