Re: Motion converted Nova on eBay?
I'd like to get a closer look at the sidepipes, SS427 emblems, Motion decal etc. to see if you could get a better feel for how long they've been there.
The car just seems a little too "dressed" to me, like it's going out of it's way to have convincing signs of Motion w/o any paperwork. Sun gauges, a 'glass hood, and some Impala badges and an otherwise plain '71 Nova instantly gets alot more interesting, but that's still along way from a bonafide Motion converion.
It looks to have had the seat covers and windlace replaced fairly recently, so I doubt it's "barn fresh." If it truly is a '71 CE coded 427 then I'd say that's the strongest Motion clue it's got going for it, but even that is a longshot.
I was under the impression Motion typically stamped their CE engines with some sort of identifying marks for warranty purposes, to show they'be been blueprinted, etc? Is there any truth to this, based on known examples?
