Default Is this your 1969 Motion Phase III ?

I picked up this pamphlet (3 page foldout with lots of pics inside) at an auction I attended maybe 10 or more years ago.
There is no mention of VIN, but mileage should help real owner determine if this car is his/hers.
Show me this is your car, and I will let you have this item.
Measures 8.5" x 11" open.

One of my favorite Corvettes; I am a HUGE Motion fan but I really love the understated, yet still very Bad *** look of this car.
If I owned it I would have a real hard time selling it but, I'm sure the previous owner had his reasons.

While growing up, I lived about 20 minutes from Baldwin Motion.
I'd drive over there to look at the cars sometimes.
Other times, I'd just drive by and not even stop.
Glad I have those memories.

Parents took me there in 1970; saw a yellow 1969 Phase III GT Corvette in the showroom and there was a brown 1970 Z28 getting the Phase III treatment in one of the work bays. There was also a candy apple red VW beetle there as well.

I have never forgotten that Corvette; it was easily something I would have killed for.

Hey guys! Sorry to bump a long-dead thread, but I saw this page while posting up photos of the Motion Phase III Vette and figured you guys would want an update!

I photographed this Corvette recently, which was part of a prominent Texas collector's collection. He has since passed away, and his collection is being dissolved - the Motion Phase III Corvette with it. It's a beast, and still runs great after all these years. only a few hundred miles more on the odo since OP last saw the car!

It was sold on March 23rd at the Ft.Lauderdale auction.

Here are some of the photos I took of it. I have much more if anyone is interested! If you'd like to see the complete blog posting with all the other cars up for auction, you can see them here: http://theo-graphics.com/blog/classic-muscle-cars/

My dad was going to buy a Motion car after he got out of hospital after Vietnam....a few days before he stopped by a local dealership and bought a 396 375 HP Nova...was a lot cheaper and made more sense at the time, though always wishes he made the trip to Motion....nice Corvette
