Motion Performance Firebirds

[Keith Tedford]

The January 1974 issue of Popular Hot Rodding has an article on Motion's conversion of a Firebird to a 427 Phase III ZL/X powered Bird. The article mentions another conversion that used the high compression 454 crate motor. Lots of pictures including one of the transmission along with the shift linkage for the Hone overdrive unit. The hood and paint treatment was the same as that of the Motion Camaros.

Hey Keith. This car is great! In another article I have (HP CARS?) this car was shown as an employee of Motion's car who did the conversion. I wish I could have seen this car in color to get a better 'feel' for it. The combo looks great though...the motion stripes...the short '70 Camaro spoiler, the rim/tire combo..nuff said. That was the car I wanted to build a 1/25 model of but need an MPC hood to butcher ($$). Anyone else know what the other issue/mag is that this car is written up in? I seem to recall the owner peering over the engine in an 'open hood' shot w/ a caption reading that he worked at Motion and did the conversion. See attatched pic.

I appreciate your reply 55chevy. Do you happen to have anything that has to do with a 74 firebird? if you do can you fax or mail it to me. I am willing to pay for any cost associated with this.

Much appreciated

Alex
