Re: Motion Nova ???????
The car seems to have some typical Motion modifications which were common back in the day and emulated by many enthusiasts at the time. Motion also had a robust mail order business and since the parts were not Motion specific, could have been purchased at a local speed shop or a Chevrolet dealer such as mid-year corvette side exhausts.
Some of the details about the actions of the 18-year owner don't seem very logical, but then again, not too many teenagers are terribly strategic or pragmatic in their thinking. It is often about instant gratification, so if the funds were available anything is possible.
Hopefully with the new ownership, some more concrete details will emerge about the car and a link to the Motion shop will be found. Regardless of the outcome, the car seems to have an interesting history and should be a good project to enjoy.
Best of luck.
