69 motion hood.....

[SuperCars]

I think Motion owners are willing to help, but there was no real definitive "standard" one style or single manufacturer of Motion hood. I've seen 3 different kinds of Motion hoods. There was the 67 Vette stinger style hood with real rough underside like Mark describes, then another 67 Vette Stinger style hood with more refined underneath framework which is shown in Motion's 69 era Catalog. And then is the 68-69 L88 Vette style hood such as the one that is on the Green ex-Chandler Phase III Camaro.

How was the hood attached at the hinges? Studs and nuts or bolts as a regular stock hood from factory? This hood is very rough underneath, not very appealing for show quality. Jeff, the hood is off of a car that was wrecked. This is what i was told. I am doing some investigating to see what i can find. The hood came from a car collector in the chicago area, he now lives in kentucky. He had a yenko camaro and other camaro's and sold them off to buy vettes. From what i have learned, it appears to be real. I just got it and have to look it over closer. Roger

are any of these companies still in business? I have an article of a 69 motion chevelle that has what looks like a 69 SS hood with a stinger scoop molded into it. I would like to purchase 1 if they are still available. thanx

Legendary is still in business. They are located in PA. I recently bought a stinger hood from them for my 69 Motion Camaro.

In the '69 Motion catalog I just sold the stinger hoods have a "refined" underneath and are made by A&A. I know many of the later hoods were made by Legendary which used to be known as "Fast Glass". Brad Fanshaws Motion Vega has a very rough underside somewhat like the back of a fiberglass tub enclosure. These hoods were made by a chopper gun. Probably close to what Mark Hassetts car is.
