Re: Motion Phase III '75 Trans Am!
Andrew, I did go back an check out Mike Guarise's Trans Am that was the September 2000 Feature car. I don't know how I missed that one. I thought I had checked them "all" out, but that appears to be the only one I missed. I was shocked to find it, because I thought finding the '75 T/A was pretty interesting, knowing that his supercars days were almost behind him at that point in history, but to find a '78 (even newer) was all the more fascinating. Yes, I understand that Joel did some mid-80's projects that seemed to be mostly body & paint mods and I think I've even seen one or two of them when they were on the show car circuit. (your description of them sounded familiar Joe... I'll have to dig back through some old "500 World of Wheels" photos I have from various Indy shows) But the true supercars that had the large displacement, heavily modified motors, were the ones that I thought were extinct by the mids 70's, so that would make these unique T/A's all the more special.
But anyway you look at it, all of Joel's projects were fascinating in their own unique way.
Does anyone know if Mr. Rosen ever modified a Chevy Monza? (since it seems apparent that he was open to modifying anything the customer desired)
