1969 Phase 3 GT Corvette

[Dave Rifkin]

The Phase III GT I remember seeing at Motion Peformance was a 1969 Corvette. It did not have the stinger stripe down the side; just the black tail panel with the wrap around stripe on the rear section. I also don't recall it having the slotted tail lamps and, if it did, they weren't as large as the ones in the picture above. The hood striping was different too; I think it just had the center stripe and not the wrap around stripe and finally the car was definately pearl yellow and not Daytona yellow. Oh yeah, the car had a 427 in it and not a 454.
I was only 8 years old at the time but that car and the visit to Motion Performance left quite the impression. Heck for all I know my parents were talking to Joel in the "showroom" area where the car was located. We even walked back in an area where they had a Berry Mini-Tub and in a service bay we saw a brown with white stripe Camaro being turned into a Phase III Camaro.
If only I could travel back in time.
