Default Re: Why no 1st generation Motion MonteCarlos?

If there were I'm sure it would have been mentioned in the book. I'm sure some kid may have brought there dads MC in and had a hot coil installed, but that would not a Motion car make. As for the weight, I would think a real world difference of about 200-300 lbs on a scale would be about right.

Not necessarily would they have mentioned it in the book. Ive been told by several MOTION enthusiasts that there were a few cars left out. Its a great book either way

That Harrel monte is one BAD machine. It'd be cool to make a yenkonor motion monte, kind of a "what if" tribute car

Its more than badges and stickers and valve covers. Most who build a clone or a tribute try to make them as exact as possible.Marty Schorr emailed me this morning and said to the best of his knowledge there weren't any Montes converted by MOTION. A customer may have had one done but there weren't any new.
My advice to you would be look at 70 MOTION chevelle. The engine , drivetrain, you would probably have to bond an L88 scoop on to your Monte hood. I can't say for sure but Fiber Concepts out here in Pa may be able to make you a complete fibeglass hood. Its worth a shot.
