Re: 1979 Motion TA
Motion cars were mostly built to customer order. I am sure Joel would have thrown his whole catolog at it if the owner would write a check for it. The owner must have been a Pontiac die hard because many of the Firebirds got a BB Chevy transplant and became RatBirds. Motion was building cars into the early 90s but was not getting as much PR as in the 60s-70s.

Re: 1979 Motion TA
I agree with you JoeC
this one is 99.9 % Poncho Power. For starters Baker built up a vintage 455 H-O Trans-Am engine using port- matched and polished heads, 9-to-1 forged TRW pistons and a Pontiac Ram Air III camshaft degreed-in at 4 degrees advance. The valve train now consists of Chevrolet adjusting nuts and studs, Pon- tiac pushrods and .optional 1.65-to-1 rocker arms. In place of stock Pontiac in- duction components there's an Edel- brock aluminum manifold supporting a 780-cfm Holley (#3310-2) four-barrel topped with a Moroso free-flow air cleaner.
