Thanks so much for the input. The hood is nothing like an Ecklers that I have seen. It is not just a L-88 center that someone added to a stock 64 hood. It is all one piece and the underside doesn't look like any I have seen, although I have not looked at that many.
I am certain about the Motion Performance nose. I have seen a NOS Motion performance nose just like it on Ebay. I have provided the Ebay acution link below. I sent both the photo of the vehicle and the photo of the NOS nose to Joel, and he commented as noted above. I also have a photo copy of a motion catalog listing the pieces, but have not seen any catalog pictures.

I know that this is not a "Motion car", as indicated by Joel, but I feel pretty certain that at least the nose is Motion, and possibly the hood, flares, and spoiler. I agree, more research is in order and more proof, that is one reason I submitted this post.
I have at least one name of a previous owner, and know of two different states the vehicle was registered in, so I have some leads and homework to do. I am just getting started.
No problem with the frank words, I completely understand. There are a lot of bogus and clone vehicles out there. I have restored many vehicles before, so understand the big $$$$ issue. It is easy to get discouraged with a project like this because it will take a long time, but that has never been a problem for me.
I do hope someone will know this vehicle and come forward with some information. Thanks again for your input and insight.
