Re: 1964 C2 Corvette old Motion Performance Custom
Perhaps it would help if I make my position more clear. When I purchased this 64 Corvette, it was because I wanted a mid year to restore and have fun with. I have spent my entire life in the car hobby, and have restored a bunch of vehicles all back to stock, show winners. I have done meets, shows, tours, judging, etc. Now, at 55, I am not sure how many more vehicles I am going to do, and I am thinking that maybe I will just do this one for fun. I didn't even know about the "Motion" stuff until I saw the Motion nose on Ebay and realized that my new project had that nose. So then, I started the research on this site and others. I wanted to be careful to preserve any history.
This vehicle is a NOM 64 Corvette that will never be a high $$$ numbers matching vehicle. I knew that when I bought it. This vehicle is not a high $$$ "Motion" vehicle. But, I have discovered that this vehicle is a bit unique because it was modified with Motion Performance parts. How unique, I am not sure, so that is why I asked for anyone with a vehicle like this to come forward.
It would be nice, that when I am done with the restoration, that the vehicle be worth more than I have in it. I doubt it will go that way, but for myself and others, it isn't just about the money. I do this because I love old vehicles, I enjoy the challenge of the restoration and research, I enjoy learning new skills, and I enjoy meeting great people along the way. I am not after trophys, I have done that. I will take the car to shows and cruise in's and have a good time. When finished, it will be an eye catching, blast to drive piece of automotive, Corvette, and Motion history. It is not just about the money.
Thanks for all the input. Keep it coming.
