The traction bars dont look like Motion Super Bite traction bars... they look like the 71ish Lakewood Grumpy redesigns with rear clamping for deceleration stability... however... as most know.. Joel and the boys would put whatever you wanted on the car at your request. Being sold at Baldwin its probable that the owner did what most did.. went to the shop and bought individual Motion parts to get close to a Motion car spec.

Joel will definately authenticate a Motion car for a fee... best to do a lot more leg work before contacting him directly. looking forward to seeing what other secrets this old girl is going to give up..

X11 = non-SS396, non-Z28, with style trim
X11 was the "catch all" code because so many models had the same body trim.
So X11 could be:
1. Plain Jane with style trim (any motor except, 302, 350/300 and all 396's)
2. SS350
3. RS/SS350
4. RS

"" Note that some COPO 427's were X11.!!!!"

Best wishes
