Re: new 69 Motion at SEMA
I've read all the posts both good and bad and have to say some of you don't seem to get it! Like it or not you have to appreciate the effort and the result for what it is. It takes some skills to clone something that was cutting edge 30+ years ago or restore a classic but that's paint, body and turning wrenches. It's all been done and is done over and over every day. It really takes something special to go where others haven't been, it takes all the other skill sets along with imagination, style and flair. Sure the car is over the top by classic car standards but as someone already pointed out, everything Motion did in the early years was over the top for the times. IMO anything less today in 2005 and it wouldn't be worthy of the Motion name... Before someone counters, I'm not saying the planned half price versions will be any less of a special car. More to the liking of the nay sayers maybe, less show car glitz and glamor I'm sure but I bet they still pack a punch... Take a look at the past and go back and look at the present...
