Yeah, that could be. I can find out what the car was actually running, I'll ask around. I've got more pictures of another 70 that was running out of Saint John at the same time, an LS-5 4 speed car called "Apollo" Pictures to follow.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 69L78Post</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I got a little info on the car - The guy says it was a Motion conversion done at MacDonald Chev-Olds in Halifax. Supposedly they were licensed by Motion to do these - can anybody confirm this through Joel R,?
The car started life as an L78 and was converted to an L72. Guy says the car is still around, has been stashed away for some time. (At least it's still alive, hopefully ?!) </div></div>. Anyone here anything from possibly Marty or Joel on these facts. Very Cool , didn't even notice the Motion sticker on the drivers quarter glass at first...

This is "Apollo", before/after lettering.

Most have tow-tabs so the plates were probably needed to legally tow them....

Just saying.....

Different licene plates...different owners?

When you sell a car in NB, the plate goes with the car. The style of plate changed sometime in the 70's. (note the different colors) I was wondering who'd notice that first!
