I agree, BM conversions did not start until 1967. Baldwin Chevrolet may have sold stock L-72 biscaynes through their retail dealership prior to their relationship with Motion.

I have a picture of Joel and Bill Thomas tuning a 66 fullsize car on the dyno circa 1968, cool picture! Motion modified yes, Motion built, no.

I emailed Marty and he said that pic in the book is 1968. Probably the same car you speak of. He recalls some lettering on the front fenders, no other info. Is that the one you have Steve?

I would scan it if it were some other old pic, but since it's a book that just came out I'd rather not infringe until everyone I know has bought at least two copies

I think I have an article or pictures of Motion working on a '65 Impala.... I recall them putting a ram-air type setup on it removing 2 of the headlights for air ducts. I can't remember if Joel was under the hood or not. Been awhile since I seen the pics. I'll post them later on if I have them.

I scanned a couple of pictures of the Biscayne that Motion modified. Not the best quality.
