Maybe he lettered the Manhattan Speed Parts {Shop} LO23 Dart. ??

Manhattan Speed Parts/Shop Dart was lettered? Oh, I get it, if it was lettered most likely it was lettered by Gary, "The Local Brush."

"Gary, met Joel Rosen, the owner of Motion Performance in 1966. Immediately after started lettering all of the race cars. He was 19 years old & still in art school.

In 1968 Gary opened his own custom auto body & sign shop, "Ultra Automation." Joel then sent all of the Motion cars to Gary for body modifications & paint. Gary put the creative Motion stripes on the Corvettes, Camaros, Chevelles & Vegas. Soon after we started modifying the Corvette bodies, flared wheel wells, hood scoops, & spoilers for Motion, which Joel named the "Phrase III GT."

The MOTION PERFORMANCE SIGN ...

was hand painted with a brush, by Gary, directly onto the rough cement facade of the building on Sunrise Highway, in Baldwin NY. The sign was approximately 5 feet high by 40 feet long. Gary was on a ladder for about 2 weeks completing this huge task."
