At 17 grand it's either a scam or a custom job. Looks like 73 side vents.

Am I glad that the pinstriping craze has gone the way of the travel agent.

Rare body kit there. Joel didn't build many of them! I happen to like it very much.

That's the key, you can't just order up a Motion body kit and build another.

Wonder how many 350s were turned into Motion cars? Thought they were all 427s and 454s.

I think the side vent may just be missing the grill (not a 73). My guess is that this is a scam if being passed off as a Motion car and not as a "clone" or "tribute" car. Fer sure not documented or it would be bring mo' $cratch.

In 1969/70 this car would have had guy drooling all over it. Probably a Motion kit car. Interesting how tastes change over time. Some styling is timeless, others not so much.

According to all the documents I can find, there were NO 350's built by Motion.
