Motion Nova????

[69LM1]

In the other thread, my camaro came back as Zone 27, dealer 079, Curry Chevrolet. "Dealer 27079"
I would think all New York dealers in that area would be zone 27?

According to Dan, his Nova came back 35-327...Wallace Chev in Linden NJ &amp; Fredy Calas lived in Elizibeth NJ, about 44 mi from Baldwin Chev [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

I can confirm the above and correction to my previous email - just received this from dan ....

Kevin Suydams email. Its 35-327 Wallace Chevrolet Linden NJ. 35='s Newark NJ zone. Anyway the original owner Fredy Calas lived the next town over in Elizabeth NJ on Jersey Street off Broad street. Elizabeth/Linden were approx 44 road miles to Baldwin Long Island where Motion was

That's about a two and a half hour drive at any time other than Christmas morning at around 3 AM.

The ZLX was sold in TN and made it's way to Long Island. Back in the day when gas was cheap nobody cared about driving...I'd go to Ocean City, MD to spend one night, with 15 min notice &amp; enough money for a 12 pack and smokes.
Seems logical the either Rich's Camaro or Dan's Nova could have gone thru Joel's shop. Also logical to think that not all the Motion conversion cars were sold just from Baldwin Chev.

Even in the 70's that was not a hop skip and a jump of a ride. The connecting highway was considered a great distance for driving. (about half hour/ 25 miles from Baldwin)
I don't recall anyone &quot;cruising&quot; to Jersey. However, I can't speak for the Jersey boys, they may have had no speed shops?! locally??!!

Lots of speed shops here back in the day. My mechanic buddy Al, was a dealership mechanic in Newark back in the day and still remembers a lot of the cars that were around back then...and still are.

I have a lot of receipts from this place that go with my hemi charger.
