It is a cool find. But if this car is ready for paint, I must be spending way more time than needed on my project

Mike ... I have no particular interest in Motion cars, but I've seen many threads on the subject, so I thought I'd post it for those interested.

To critique it or not is totally up to you ... of course.

I can't say the car merits a critique, but the listing is rife with possibilities.

If you're going to pretend like you're working on a car...at least get your shirt dirty.

Aside from the heading of the ad, I don't see where the car is listed as a Motion built car. The body of the ad simply states that it was built by a gentleman who used to work with Joel Rosen at Motion performance and that the car was built using many of the parts available from Motion.
While the car is not my cup of tea some people might think it's cool if it ever gets restored but, to call it a Motion car would be very misleading in my opinion.

I'd like to see a copy of the article the seller's referencing.

I think it's pretty cool actually, and considering the work that appears to have been done not too bad of a deal. I have to say, the later rear taillight section would not have been my choice though.

That is alot of $$ for a car that still needs everything, motion or not. I dont think the motion customization makes it any more valuable, in my opinion less
