Big Mike Taylor’s L89 Motion Corvette

[JoeC]

Larry's Motion Corvette was a Phase III GT

did you talk to Martyn Schorr to see if he remembers the car ?

can try looking through all the old magazines

maybe some photos can be found through the football teams?

do you know if he drag raced it ? if so where ?

I’d love to chat with Martyn about this car.
I’m pretty sure he ran the car hard. Original motor, trans and rear is gone.

As far as pictures go, the PO said the family only had one picture of Big Mike standing behind the car in his Steeler uniform.. really hope I’m able to get a copy of that picture.

The car will be delivered this Saturday and I can’t wait to start going thru things.
I have boxes and boxes of Stuff that either came off the car or have been collected over the years.

did it have side pipes on it ?

did it have the hone overdrive?

did you find any added switches or holes or added wiring in the console?

I remember a story where a football player had a Motion Corvette and he would run it at high speed and had installed an after market radio with head phones because the side pipes were so loud on the highway

Funny you say that. Yes it’s a Sidepipe car and there are toggle switches on the console. No idea what those were for. He also cut holes into the rear storage for speakers.
I don’t know about the Hone OD yet.
Car will be delivered tomorrow

Sports & Entertainment figures always bought Cadillacs back in those days.
