January '74 'Hot Cars'

[Stefano]

The January '74 'Hot Cars' magazine has a feature on the "most powerfull modified production big block in the country" with pics of the car, Dennis Ferrara and Paul Kaufman.

There is also a letter from an original owner of a '73 Motion Phase III 454 ZLX Camaro. Also, the story on the theft and recovery of Grumpy's Toy from Gateway/Collinsville.

Bob Johnson's/Scuncio Nova in action, ect. ect.

Stefano,
I just picked up the 1970 B/M ribbon-painted race Camaro die-cast---Ertl did a pretty nice job of copying the original---JoeG

[Stefano]

Very Cool Die cast. The pics in the mag show the car running centerlines,just like the die cast, which I believe was discussed as not having been correct [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Stefano,
This 1970 B/M ribboned-painted race Camaro has the correct slotted wheels-------Another die-cast from Ertl--- [white-painted 1970 B/M Camaro race-car]-- was produced with centerline mags, which does not match-up to a certain track photo---------JoeG

[Stefano]

I am even more confused, so we are referring to three distinct Motion Performace Racing Camaros?

'70 Ribbon w/slots-Correct
'70 White/Centerlines-Not Correct
'70/71 Yellow Ferrara/Centerlines-Correct

Stefano,
OK---Didn't plan to cause any confusion----I don't know what is in your 1974 article--

The 1970 B/M ribboned-painted race camaro and the 1970 B/M white-painted race camaro--- .-they were the Motion project 454 Camaros---set the NHRA A/MP record at 10sec--shared same engine platform[454]---The 1971 yellow B/M race Camaro--Beast from the East----used a 430ci. --unbeaten in it's class 3 yrs. in a row-car weighed 3024lbs--ran 1/4 in 9.30sec---all three models IMO were favorably replicated ---Hoped this helped??
