Does anyone know any history on that Chevelle? Where it's at? What happened to it? Is it still alive?? That is one bad and unique Chevelle.

Rick do you know if that Chevelle is still around??? I remember someone saying that there was a black Motion Chevelle sitting in some trailer somewhere. Is this it or was that a 70? I LOVE the stance on that bad boy!! I am about half way there! All I need is to up my rear tire size from L60X15 to N60X15 (is that the size of those Motion tires?) and pump my Gabriel Hi Jackers up a few more inches!! Maybe I could get some side pipes........... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The rear tires on the Motion Chevelle above are L-60-15 on 15x8.5 aluminum slots. N50-15's did not come out until late in '73.
I have a set of Ansen 15x8.5 sprints in the forsale section.

Quote from the 454ZLX Chevelle article:
"The wheels and tires on the car at the time of the test,were not the ones the owner ordered.On order was a set of reversed-chromed Cragar S/S mags,which should really work with the chromed exhaust system."

"The only problem was we had to pump up the rear air shocks (70psi) for adequate tire clearance.The tires on the car were borrowed from a Mako Shark Corvette,and were too Big for the Chevelle.Because the car was jacked up the way it was,off the line traction left a lot to be desired."

Ed - I agree with you even if I'm sensing some sarcasm...I have black Thrush sidepipes on my '69 Camaro and my girlfriend has Hooker sidepipes on her '65 vette that look like the ones on the '72 Motion Chevelle except they are painted black. I think side pipes look tits (pardon my French)....as soon as I find some pics of my Camaro that are small enough I'll post them for the "large" percentage of those of you who like sidepipes. For now here's the Vette...... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Here's the Camaro.....don't give me any crap about the Mopar stripe on the side of the car - give me a break, a kid who buys a '69 Camaro the day after he gets his drivers license doesn't care about what kind of stripe is on it, just that it's a cool car (it is my first car ever - the car has lasted a lot longer than any girlfriend and there's a couple good reasons for that!)....a repaint is in the very near future and no I didn't put the curb marks on the tires - I had just bought the rims and wanted to see how they looked....
