Default Re: 1968 Motion Bug?

Did you guys read the questions he answered? Good reading. Ok. Here's my take. Who cares? It didn't matter anyway when it comes to these cars. The only Motion cars that are worth money seem to be any that aren't Volkswagens. I had the original motion dune buggy that supposedly towed the thunderbug and it was pretty much worthless even thou it was on the cover of a magazine back in the day. I had it for 5+ years an got less than I paid and the guy I sold it to even took less than me. It was a cool car and was the closest I'll ever get to owning a real motion car but virtually worthless.

they were all "shop cars" . 35G is insane. I had several VWs with Motion mods, all stuff available over the counter. This does not even appear to have any fiberglass mods which was the first thing we did, flared fenders front and rear. add pro trac 50s and 60s on appliance chrome rims, dual webers, Mallory ignition. there were so many VWs in the neighborhood with close to 100hp and getting a few inches of air (before the big tires up front)

* after looking at engine pics I agree with "bogus", Motion threw EVERYTHING at those little motors, this has nothing. and Don is right, I don't think the Manx is pulling 5 digits now.
