Vehicle Description

This auction is for a very rare 1970 nova SS 396/375 motion performance car. I bought this car 6 months ago and the car had been stored apart for about 12 years. I thought what I had aquired was a matching number 396/375 4 spd car. After contacting the third owner I found out car was a motion performance car. He bougth this car in the mid 80's form the second owner who had brought the car from NJ. I have since found out car was indeed from NJ. Car was delivered Dec 1st 1969 to a Atkin;s Chevrolet in Wayne NJ. I have not been able to find the second or first owner. The Chevrolet dealer is no longer Atkins they were bought out 12 years ago as a result from owner's death. As you can see in the pictures the engine is stamped motion performance on back of block. There is also some other 4 digit numbers stamped on both heads and front of block. I found out that these numbers were the 4 last digits of the work order when car was done at Motion. When I aquired this car, I notice that it had alot of high performance parts on it. The car still has the holley 3 barrel intake along with holley 3 barrel carb. Other parts are scatter shield, hurst comp shifter bent for console car. Car has aluinum et rear end cover 2 holes in right side of trunk where electric fuel pump was mounted and lines went through trunk. The third owner said car had traction bars on it when he sold it but I do not have them. I have started a frame off restoration and have all pictures of car. I have aquired alot of parts. I have a set of NOS motion emblems in the original MP package and I have nos et rear end cover, mr gasket fly eye air cleaner, motion valve covers, nos mallery coil (correct time period). The engine has been completely rebuilt and balancd and run on a dyno. I have all parts that came out of engine. I have talked with Joel Rosen and have emailed him photo's of what I have (engine and parts and car) he responded and said it looks like his work. I have not sent him the $2000.00 as of Jan 07 for him to document. He does have copy's of pictures of what I have. I have lost interest in this project and have decided to try it on ebay. This is most definetly the rarest car you will find. How many of these cars are for sale. I am going to offer it for one time only if it does not sell I will finish it. I have all interior and sheet metal to put it back togther. Pictures show car on rotisory. Car was stripped down to metal and primed. Call me if you need to know what all I have. 912-337-2647 and ask for Robby Buyer agrees to pay a $1000.00 deposit and balance with in 10 days. Buyer also agrees to arrang pick up and shipping of car. I welcome bidders to come and inspect car before bidding.

Wasn't this the same seller that had the bogus 68 Yenko Camaro project a few years ago that had a fake Yenko tag?

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Hi, I am new to your site. I have the motion nova listed on ebay and yes I listed a 68 yenko a couple of years ago on ebay for a friend on mine in my home town. It was not a fake car he just sold it in Dec to a yenko builder in Chicgo. I canceled the auction because he changed his mind about selling it at the time. In fact the buyer who bought it was one of the bidders from back then who kept after him to sell untill he did. Now to next question. This is the same car that you had on your forum several months ago about the stampings on engine. I listed car to see if I might generate some information about original owner. I would sell it for right price. If anybody has any info on car I would really appreciate it. Motion396nova

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

It was, I bought this car about six months ago from him.

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

Also when I bought it from him, the engine and bell housing were still attached. The guys at the engine shop when rebuildinging engine found the motion perf. stamp on back of motor. How sweet was that!!

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

In lowmiles previous post...actually in his first post about this Nova...it shows the motion engine stamp...see HERE!

Re: EBAY Motion Nova?????
 

I'm pretty sure lowmile knew the motion connection due to the pics he posted.

Why didn't lowmile or you get the 'joel letter'?
