Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

If I remember correctly, the Yellow Motion Phase III Corvette Joel found and restored was originally bought as a gift for a movie producer and later found on a movie set wearing cheap black paint over the original Motion paint/stripes. It was said to have been in a movie. The story is in a Vette mag article.

Motion built a few cars though the 1980s and maybe early 1990s. and still was designing/selling some custom fiberglass parts.
Here is a picture of Joel’s wife’s Mustang that was used in the catalog.
I was told she would cruz this rig to LI beach with the top down and a big dog riding shotgun.

You still must have good eyes for an old guy. You seem to see everything in motion. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Neither of these are 73's while sporting a chrome bumper.

There hasn't been any history discovered on any GT's after 71.

Joe G.; Have you any more text or follow-up on that story?

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

The rumor that was printed is that this PhaseIII GT 454 vette appeared in Cannonball Run but that clip wound up on the cutting room floor....but the car was saved..http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/i...60-R1-E011.jpg

Re: motion cars in movies and tv shows
 

AS EVERYBODY CAN SEE THIS IS NOT THE CAR I AM TALKING ABOUT
THE CAR IN CLEOPATRA JONES PICTURED ABOVE THE YELLOW GT IS A 73 AND DOES NOT HAVE A CROME FRONT BUMPER THATS THE MOTION STRIPE WRAPPING AROUND THE FRONT RUBBER BUMPER THIS IS THE ONLY PICTURE I COULD RETRIEVE OFF THE INTERNET IM TRYING TO GET A COPY OF THE MOVIE TO POST MORE PICTURES
