1972 Motion Maco Corvette

I got a ride in a Motion Maco Corvette that was for sale at a car show. (Motion spelled it with a "C". Chevy used a "K"). It is a 1972 454 4sp car. The car has the Motion Maco body conversion but it is not yet known if it was done by Motion. Wild looking car and a real head turner. here are some pics one from inside looking out front one from inside looking back. You can't see much of the road looking back. Fun to ride in though.

You would think that those high rise fenders wouldn't look good, but they are blended very nicely. I like it :cheers:

I just had an idea what would happen if you put a high rise on that car???

I have a feeling small cars and large trucks would disapear, just another reason to bend the speed limit you have to make sure that they are all far enough behind you to see them :p:

Re: 1972 Motion Maco Corvette (shamby)

Shamby: I talked to Motion several months ago about the rear. They only have the front clip available. I can not remember the price, but I remember considering it "pricey".
