Default 1974 Motion Corvette

Does anybody know what the specs were for the '74 Motion Corvette? A local guy had one back in the '70s and traded it for a V drive boat around the early '90s. It was hard to beat around here. I think it had a LS6 in it, but I'm not sure. It was a 4 speed and he broke the rear end a lot.

It looked just like this car. It was traded at Tapp Motors in Owensboro KY. Does anybody have any idea where it might be now?

I thought that 74 was one of the cars Joel still had and took to Florida, but that was 10+ years ago.....

It probably wasn't that car, but it looked like that one. The colors were the same and it had the side pipes.

The one in the picture with Mr. Rosen has the side pipes; you just can't see them from that angle.

This car was probably traded in the '90s, so there isn't much telling where it is now. I thought someone might know a little bit about these cars. I probably have some of the engine parts from this car in mine. I bought some LS6 rods, big ballancer, timing chain cover and a steel 454 crank off of the guy many years ago.
