Default Re: Is it real?

In that article RO McGONEGAL is talking about the V8 Vega conversion kits not building (converting) the complete car.

The test drive of the 454 Vega is RO talking about the Car Craft article he wrote “King Kong Is Living on Long Island" whwere he road tested a Motion Super Vega with a 454


quote from article " Hardy wisely capitalized on the conversion factor: He was the first to build and package all the critical components and send them to your door. Shortly after HOT ROD's two-page featurette about the Hardy installation hit the stands, Hardy's business was ascending to its zenith. "



Motion may have used the Hardy kit on some V8 Vegas but I think he later had his own kit and sorced some of the parts locally. Years ago, I had a NOS Motion V8 Vega kit and had talked with a Motion employee about it and he told me that Motion did have his own kit and he thought that the radiators and oil pans and maybe other parts were made in LI.
