Joe, have we a picture of the camaro that set the record? Was it the ribbon car in 73?

Or was it this one?



There's a 9.80 car if I ever saw one!

That is super cool. Thanks for sharing... and Verne, awesome shot of the MP Camaro. Is that from a magazine or is it an actual photo?

I have two original NHRA "Application For NHRA Drag Strip Record" carbon papers from Motion Performance. One is for Mitchell's Motion Mini Car and the other is Zul/Kuafman's 454 Camaro.

Maybe I'll post a photo to share with the community. Any interest in seeing 30 year old paper?

Ha! That thing is sitting right to the left of me as I write this, in 1/18 scale. Very cool to look at. Matter of fact I have all the BM Camaros in die cast and my favorite one of all the Mexican in plastic.

Dan,
That's an actual photo I have, not from a magazine. According to Marty, it's the very same car as the "Ribbon Car". I don't know any more history on it; I'm just a lowly middle man with a small collection from other very good people who have shared with me. It IS a great photo though, isn't it????

That is the "Ribbon" car... It was the ribbon, then white-black "Motion" striping, and then the yellow car you see here. Neat photo.

Here is a photo of my records in one of my displays with some super rare Motion items. Rare photos, a business card, decals, etc.

Enjoy,

That NHRA certificate is a cool item.

Looking through a scrapbook of photos of Motion sponsored drag cars, I see the 70 MP Camaro was a NHRA national record holder in 70,71,72,73.

It is painted on the car in different photos in the 3 different paint colors.
Also interesting that it ran in at least 3 different classes. - A/MP, B/MP, C/GAS

this diecast has the Kaufman and Cancilleri names on the door just like the ribbon version. It didn't make it to the yellow one.

That Motion car earned its feed....I knew you'd have that info JoeC....
