Here's the first (I think) '67 Motion SS 427 conversion car on the cover of the June '67 Cars Magazine. Tahoe Turquoise, SS hood, "427" Vette emblems on the hood, began life as a 350 car. The article discussed the L88 transplant under its hood.

Some of the '67 "Motion" cars seen today have the '68 Impala style SS 427 emblems pasted on all over. Not saying that they aren't real Motion cars but those '68 "SS 427" emblems tend to go high-dollar on eBay. Yes, guys could have gone back to Motion, etc., in '68 with their '67s and had the '68 "status emblems" installed.

Sure would like to hear from Joel Rosen on such things. Too bad he doesn't offer a "Here's the truth" symposium at the SC reunion. That'd be worth the price of admission!

If you were fortunate enough to be able to attend SCR6 then you could have asked Joel yourself. He did answer a number of questions, although I don't recall anyone asking him about emblems. He did talk about a ZL-1 powered 69 Motion Camaro.

I gotta' attend the next SC reunion. How cool would it be to meet Joel Rosen in person. Oh, and I just sent for the SCR 6 photo CD the other day.

one owner wants it back real bad supposiedly so bad that he is trying to tell the guy it isnt real even though he has a letter from joel saying it is a real car.

Motion2, are you saying the car that was at Barrett Jackson is a real car? A former owner wants it back bad enough that he is telling people it is not real? If that is the case why did he not buy it back while it was at BJ? How about filling out your profile so we all know a little about you?

i am saying that the car at barrett jackson, the baldwin that was in the corral had a real letter from joel with his letter head and all. i am also saying that there was a rumor that a former owner wanted it back so bad that yes he was telling people it wasnt so he could get it back. the car didnt go for auction it was in the corral.

Okay, so the guy who owns it now and has a letter from Joel Rosen is supposed to buy a story that the car isn't real after all? If I was the current owner I'd be reluctant as h_ll to part with the car under these circumstances. I'd probably reconfirm the car's pedigree with Joel Rosen and put the rumors to rest. But that's just me.

And yes, I understand that this is commenting on a rumor. It just has a fishy smell to it.
