Big Mike Taylor’s L89 Motion Corvette

[Tuna Joe]

Thought I would ask the forum members here for opinions…
Soon I’m going to start on the glass work for the Big Mike car.

I always envisioned restoring this car as a Motion car.
I’ve had several folks who are in the restoration business and who are Corvette enthusiasts advise me to put the car back to original.
Since I’m unable to authenticate it having any connection to Motion Performance, I’m essentially building a tribute car.
If I ever sell the car, restoring it back to original opens it up to a larger pool of buyers.


I guess I’m looking for some advice/direction on how to proceed with the car.

I do have all new glass fenders and quarters for the car.
I also have every piece of Motion aftermarket items that came with the car.

I also found out the car did not have a black stripe. It was a Cadillac fire mist green.

Lastly, not sure it makes a difference but I was able to get in touch with the second owner who purchased the car from Big Mike’s brother. Crazy story!
He was adamant about the Motion connection but he was planning on putting the car back to original.

So restore back to Motion or original?

Thanks for your opinion…
