Is that a Motion decal in the driver's side rear window on that Chevelle?

The Z28 is Burnished Brown. It was purchased from Chad B years ago and was discussed here as well. I think Chad actually sold it to Shane on an ad placed here.

Yes that is a Motion decal and the car and it's history are currently being researched. The second owner bought it from the original owner (who later bought it back and then sold it to Shane) and he was the one who put headers on it and raced it (and lost one of the build sheets!). We think the second owner maybe joined the Motion club but as of right now there is no reason to believe Motion ever laid hands on it. It is a low mileage original paint car and is in unbelievable condition. It was a known car for the last several years but the owner was asking way too much and Shane caught him on a good day.

A little late to the discussion but yes, stance is critical. So many restos these days have tippy-toes stances because of new springs during the restoration. Ruins it for me. Camaros were higher than Firebirds because DeLorean wanted the Firebird to look wider (wide-track Pontiac, right?) so he had lower springs put on them. I had my Camaro in the shop last fall for some much-needed attention and it included a suspension rebuild with new, lower springs. Out went the single-leafs and in went Global West multi-leafs with a 1.5&quot; lowering built in. 1&quot; lower front coils and now the car looks really good to me. Lower and meaner, even for a stocker. (Gardner 'deep-tone' SS396 system went on too--look at those perfectly done oval tailpipes peeking down under the rear quarters.)
