With out looking it kinda sounds like this could turnout to be the Gold/Black car that was sold at BJ last Jan. It was up in that neck of the woods if you know what I mean.

That would be a early 69 from that vin #. It is only 1189 after my '69 was made.

Harold can fill in the details. It's a neat looking Vette but it doesn't look like a Motion car to me. The rear window isn't the same as Motion GT's. Here is a pic of the Motion for comparison.

The NON Motion items that I see are

Headlights in the grill ????
Front air dam/spoiler
Rear Spoiler
not a Motion Hood (Similar tho)
Obvious it was a repaint.
Rear window is wrong
Wheel flairs are 1970-72 stock flairs
Stock rear taillights
I think I still see the Corvette letters on the rear.


That looks like a nice Moton style street machine. I know one thing and that is I would hate to try to drive it with the headlights like they are. I seriously doubt that Joel would have sold a car with them like that. Just too dangerious and hard to see when you drive it. I had one come through my Car lot one time with them in the grill area and what a POS to try to drive at night. You can't see squat very far in front of you. And the one I had didn't have a grill in front of the lights like this one must have. Either that or someone just forgot to put any headlights on it at all.???

LOL....

No I don't think this is a Motion Phase III car but a Motion Mail-Order car done to the owners liking. I think they tried to copy the Phase III car and did a pretty good job.It no longer has a tri-power but was converted to single 4 barrel, 427x intake, 4296 Holley carb (1971 date code).I really don't know anything about the car other than it is in a great original customized condition. The paint is very old and except for changed items it is in a survivor condition.
