Re: KoMOTION
Joe,
Yes, there was another Motion Corvette at the show. The asking price for the car was indeed $150,000. The car had decent paint, but was by no means a top shelf restoration... Way overpriced in my opinion, but I'm a bit biased as I've never been a big fan of Motion Corvettes. I did like the KO-MOTION '67 that was there... Vintage drag cars are very cool!
I actually saw the car a couple of weeks prior to Corvettes @ Carlisle at a local Corvette show. While I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner, I did check the car out pretty closely. It appears to have been an L-71 (427/435) originally with factory installed side exhaust... It had been converted externally with the Motion body work... Red with the Motion style silver stripe although I'm not sure if this was the original color combination when it was sold.
I am told that the current owner has had the car for quite some time and knew about its history before he purchased it.
Regards,
Stan
