That's about a two and a half hour drive at any time other than Christmas morning at around 3 AM. </div></div> Even in the 70's that was not a hop skip and a jump of a ride. The connecting highway was considered a great distance for driving. (about half hour/ 25 miles from Baldwin) I don't recall anyone "cruising" to Jersey. However, I can't speak for the Jersey boys, they may have had no speed shops?! locally??!! |

Lots of speed shops here back in the day. My mechanic buddy Al, was a dealership mechanic in Newark back in the day and still remembers a lot of the cars that were around back then...and still are.
I have a lot of receipts from this place that go with my hemi charger. ![]() |

Ok guys most everyone on this site and the camaro site know Dan from over the years. I only met him once in person. When he came to look at a relatives Motion car. Did not know anything about him or his reputation on a few of these sites. My experience is that he went out of his way for free for complete stranger to help him document a motion car. Now everyone has herd a story or two of a owner of a motion car that may or may not be real for one owner. Then puff car gets sold and soon after that car is a real motion car! Yes Dan is a unique gentlemen and may rub some people the wrong way, but he has found many rare cars over the years and has helped people for FREE document there own cars. As for his nova, he does have a ton of stuff that points to it being a Motion car. I would bet almost anything that when this car is sold it ends up a DOCUMENTED Motion Nova at some point! JMHO

Okay, now we need to hear about the relatives Motion car. I am a HUGE fan of Motion vehicles and would love to hear what more about what they have. |

If he helps out to solidly document 100% an original Motion vehicle, then why not do that for his own Nova? -Matt
