Default Re: Is this a Motion hood?

IMHO I think the 67 stinger is mounted too far back. It should be a L-88 style hood with
a 67 stinger on top with I think an air gap at the front of the stinger. Randy Leffingwell
book on the Otis Chandler collection shows it well.

I think the Motion hood was a 67 type hood scoop with no stinger mounted on the stock type big block hood scoop. Look at this picture of Kevin's Motion Corvette.

Looks like a phase III hood. The 67 vette scoop was molded into a standard 427 hood not an L88 hood, and the top of the hood bulge gets smoothed with no stinger. Doesn't sound like a motion vette though. He describes it as a 390HP car. It has a rochester carb (phase II cars came with a holley) and I think he means he is the "only owner" he doesn't sound like the original owner. That statement is a little deceiving. But who knows. He also said it was missing carb linkage. Maybe it had a holley on it and somebody changed it back to a qjet not knowing what the car was. Original restored 427/390 are worth around $20,000 so it would be a decent deal for around $10,000 and you might be pleasantly suprised if it is a BM car. The hood alone is worth something if its a real BM hood and it definately looks like one.
