Default Re: 1967 "Motion" Corvette ????

I think we're all long past the subject car having anything to do w/ Motion besides added emblems, plate frame and ridiculous story also again depending on what's original to the car it may have more value than it probably ends up reaching on eBay?

As far as the hand written build sequence #'s on the tank sheets go, even though some examples and ranges may correlate to Vins better than others, counting on this as a fact went out the window years ago.

The 3 '68 L88 AIR cars were picked up at Jantzen Chevy probably to speed up the process and ensure safety of the cars but they were indeed ordered through Fred Gledhill, what's confusing is Clippinger salesman Bob Wingate was the man behind the deal!
Maybe Gledhill processed the deal w/ none or less markup than could happen through Clippinger or perhaps the financier had something to do w/ it all, who knows?
Traco who prepped the engines being located right near Clippinger only adds to the confusion too.

Love these cars, wonder how Garner's doing?
