These don't come along every day...

Hi,
I'm not sure that I've ever seen photos of the exterior of a real car that look more like photos of a model than this one. It's almost like the proportions have been played with a bit. Maybe it's the size of the tires that throws things off? Regards, Alan |

I have no affiliation with this car. As Alan said, it definitely looks like a model! This is a living room (not suitable for the garage) piece for sure! |

Still have this Motion handout from (I think) a B-J auction about 10 years ago...

And by the way, its supposed to have headlight covers but they didnt add them during the resto and also the stripe going over the rear deck is not the correct width and shape as it was when the car was new. If you have the CARS magazine from 1970 you can clearly see the weird angle the stripe widens out to over the rear. In fact, it was like that on several of the phase III GT cars. The orange one with the Dodge Daytona gas cap is also supposed to have the wide stripe, I don't think it has the correct stripe today either. |

Car has been at more than one auction in recent years. I saw it in the Star tent in Kissimmee in 2014.

I built this model almost 25 years ago.
Its not that great but it was fun to build. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...f3b0e78fb2.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...90515257c8.jpg |

in the tent at Kissimmee:

it's amazing how one could take the best looking hood in Vette history ('67 Stinger) and turn it into that ugly looking thing ........my opinion of course ......
|
Hi,
Bid was $51,000 when I looked yesterday and is $66,000 today. I wonder what the reserve is? Regards, Alan M463, I'm with you on the hood, and will add the gills (looks like they've been 'plumped-up' with silicone), and the scoops! |
Cool car but not my cup of tea. :cheers:

Gotta remember the era Gents.....
Girder front end choppers were the rave. Corvette Summer was cool. 2 cans of hair spray used per teenage girl on a Friday night..... Hey put that cigarette out! Car is pretty ugly by todays standards but people bought them or Motion wouldn't have lasted. Marshal |
Hi,
Marshal's right. That car's 'look' was popular a LONG time ago. Also, to my eye, Mr. Rosen's sense of style wasn't very sophisticated! Regards, Alan |

When I saw the first pic my thought was "240Z on steroids".

Iconic and extremely hyped back in the day. Motion benefitted from extremely good press reviews touting the performance over stock and company marketing. Dated now.
|
Also, I think the Motion cars were guaranteed to run in the 12's or you could get your money back.
