Re: Motion race cars
 

Thanks for the clarification guys. There was some previous thread that would prompt me to make that statement. I am determined to find the post, and I have already ran a search with no luck. I will let you all know if I find it.

Who owns the Vette now?

Re: Motion race cars
 

What was the Magazine that recently had the article about Astoria Chas and the Ko-Motion Vette?
It was on the newstands within the last 18 months I believe. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Motion race cars
 

This car was done in the Motion shop when the new L88 was available in 1967. Vette Magazine had a great article on this car a while back with pictures of Joel and Chas at the track. Joel was under the hood of the car in one shot. This was definitely not a mail order car.

Joels a member of my board (nastyz28.com), but he never posts. He posted a couple times many years ago. He told me tonight he's planning on going to the reunion. (I don't know if he reads stuff here. I believe he pays attention to what's going on, even if he doesn't say anything)

I asked "who owned the race cars". He asked "which one?" (he's difficult) [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]...

Anyway, they were all owned by Baldwin Chevy. Joel raced the 67 camaro. There was a 68 and possibly a 69? Those were raced by Joel and "Billy" (bill. mitchell). Then came the early 70's which were raced by dennis ferrara. Those were still owned by Baldwin Chevy. Tuned by Motion. (ideal way to do it - race with OTHER peoples money).

Re: Motion race cars
 

Whitetop, could you email a photo or tell me which Hot Rod issue the 69 B/M Vette is in? It must be a different car, was it a black and white photo? I have all the original paperwork on mine, original order sheet, Baldwin invoice and original title. Original owner was Richard Eyajan living in Mark Hassett's hometown of Ashtabula OH.

Kevin
I went back to look at the article. Not your car as this one has the recessed headlights.The '69 in the article was owned by a Gordon Rutherford out of Elmsford NY. Car had M/t and Pos-A-Traction tires with American Racing Daisy Mags (now called 200s). Car is Lemans blue/white stripe. Mag is in Hot Rod, July '73.

Okay thanks Dave, that is a different one. Maybe the one owned by Darryl on this site. It is the only other Blue one I know of.
