Default Another Motion car on eBay.

Looks more like something from New England Dragway.

Never saw a radiator like that on a vette and unusual hose routing.

Even if it is a Motion car, it is too cut up to be highly collectable IMHO.

looks like inlet/outlet on the same tank ... \

Seller claims 73 front/rear, but the 75 nose was retained in the transformation.

A "motion" car, but the recent move (within the last decade) away from pro street to pro touring fashion will hurt its sale. Compared to a real "trendy" motion car. The plate is interesting.

What is interesting to me is that I really dig some of the pro touring cars, but realize they will go out of fashion sometime too...

I wouldn't know "Pro Street" from "Pro "Touring", but I sure like the "Pro Stock" conventional rear axle!!!!

Yeah, I thought that rear was choice also, all it needs is a Powerglide and some decent Goodyears and a dragstrip. Peace,,,Moosie

Did anyone catch all the years mentioned in the ad? Titled as a '75, modified in '77 to look like a '73? I thought Motion stopped doing cars in '74 or 5 (insurance issues) and only was doing parts at that time.

rad looks like a dual pass

inlet > V==>==>==>==>==v
v>==>==>==>==>=v
-------------------------------------V
v==<==<==<==<==<=<v
out <==<==<==<==<==<=<

or sum such...
