Jeff...I guess you just don't get it....would you pay more for a painting by Monet or a very nice landscape by Belair62 ?

I get the point, but I'm saying there is no reason that 2 identical performing vehicles should be priced differently and I think the market will make the correction once people start buying these other dealer transplant cars. If you stuck an L72 into a Camaro and Monet stuck an L72 into a Camaro they would both be the same thing and perform the same. A name doesn't mean it's a better product, it just means it's more recognized and therefore people overpay for it.

And Kim, I was referring to the COPO car with engine's that you supposedly couldn't order. The 68 COPOs were not engine upgrades so they aren't as special to most people as 427 COPO cars. But it all comes down to apparent value on most of these cars. If nobody hypes any of them, then they won't go up in value or cost. I'm just offering my point of view. I personally don't think there is anything that special about Motion cars other than he dropped in a 427 and put on some speed parts. The COPO 427 cars and the Nova LT1 cars are the coolest factory built supercars to me. But sign me up for one of those Belair landscapes, you never know what might happen if one of them showed up in a special place(like the Whitehouse) and the values got hyped up!

Jeff- Brand recognition. Been happening forever. From handbags to groceries. People are going to pay more for the Campbell's tomato soup rather than the Generic brand. More history, volume and etc behind the name. Nothing new here.

Frankly I am wondering if I should be bidding on this car for the price it's at now. In my case "Generic" brand is all I can afford. Looks like a heck of a cool car.

That's what I was thinking too! But luckily I have no money so it doesn't matter.

This isn't much different than this El Camino that's been recently posted for sale

El Camino L88

I agree with Darren though...you will ALWAYS pay more for a name brand/name recognition....whether it be DANA, Baldwin, Yenko, Motion.

After all, they are the group of people recognized as being at the forefront of this movement. Sure, other no name dealers did the same things...but they didn't have the marketing savvy or the same automotive mechanical talent available...and also didn't have the same vision.

That's the big difference!

Now, after taking a closer look at the pic, does it look like the "additional information" and "thank you" were computer generated instead of printed?
Still, if it is real, everyone is always complaining that the brokers are making the cars to expensive for the average guy, this one may wind up going for the price of a SS.

If somebody from the dealership can back the info, great if they can't whatever. THAT don't mean nothing to me. They talked about they found on the back quarter the dealership name. Show me the picture??
