Re: 1969 phase III Corvette
 

I picked up the Jan. '75 of Chevy Action this past Sat. at a swap meet. This issue has several pics of Motion Vettes, both Phase III cars and GT/Manta Ray models. If it would help I could try to post some pics here, there seems to be several different stripe variations. There is one vette without stripes, and another that is a turbocharged small block from a Newfoundland owner. Another ZL/X 454 conversion vette only has hood stripes, nothing over the roof or wrapped around the tail panel.

Some wild pics!!

Attached are two pics showing some different stripe designs, maybe they are different models, (Phase III vs. GT?) which would explain the different stripes?

69 Motion
A gold Phase III Corvette was featured in Hi-Performance cars in late '69 or early '70 and it was in color. It had the black stripe and Cragars. It had either redline or blue line tires. I do not think it had the "customized" rear window. I think Joe C may have that issue. It has to be your car.

joe c if u could post pics of the gold 69 phase III vet that would be great

Re: 1969 phase III Corvette
 

I looked through one box of mags and found this but it is a gold Phase III GT. I have heard that a gold/black stripe GT was sold to a pro football player (when new) whose team colors were gold and black. This may be it. On a side note the pictured small block cross ram motor was for the Motion LT1 350 1969 Z/28 Camaro " Green Meanie". You can see it in the backround of the engine photo. The Green Meanie was built after Motion saw the Car & Driver/Penske built " Blue Maxie" 1969 LT1 350 Z/28 raffle car. Joel felt the Blue Maxie was too wimpie with AC and had to build a LT1 Z/28 with more power and no AC. This Green/white stripe 69 Z/28 car used the ZL1 stlye hood which they called the "Green Meanie hood" but today most people call it the ZL1 hood.

Thaks Joe for posting the picture. This is not the car I was thinking of. There was another Gold car that did not have all the "bells & whistles" done to the body. It was a very bright gold and did have the Cragar SS wheels. I may have sold that issue to someone else. Thanks again Joe for posting the pic
