"ANyone know the size of the Ansen Sprint wheels on the Motion's front and rear?"
I'm pretty sure back in the day the were made in 15x8.5s and 15x10s but the backspaces in those days were more like 3.5" or 4" (that was about 40 years ago so I'm not positive and I'm talking about this particular car).

No beating up this one,
Looks like it's a very good build, I wonder if the substructure is as nice as what we can see,
33K
Seems on the high side, it's a clone, a person better have thick skin taking it to a show or cruise you will hear lots of cat calls about it being a "fake"
I would say if a person wanted turn key, the undercarriage passed snuff and the bucks up person really fell in love offer them 5K less and see what happens.

I like it from what you can tell in pics. It is a clone. You need to go see it if you're interested and make an informed decision and offer a bit less than what he's asking.
Sounds like it would be a blast to drive. MY recollection is (as the earlier poster stated) that the side pipes were added regardless of the year.

Ask yourself what you have tied up in your 'Vette now,, and looking at the quality of this clone, 33k doesn't seem to bad. Motions are a bit over the top, to much so for me, stock 'Vette is already enough, but 33k ain't bad for that car.
