I'd never be able to afford one...

Any thoughts?

I think you just answered your own question. For what they'd cost you could probably go buy a real one.

The same can be said for the new Motion Camaros though and they built them. Seeing as Motion only built 12 or so of the original Phase III GT's don't you think there would be a market for a second run of those cars with modern running gear?

I think its a cool idea, i've always like the idea of having a basically original looking older gen. corvette like a 69 with some serious modern running gear hidden underneath, and if Motion was involved it would just be a bonus! Maybe put a tuned Ls7 from a new z06 with some nostalgic accents under the hood, the bonus with that is you could still put that to-cool 427 badging on the car.

Another thing that would be cool to see, but is highly unlikely i suspect, would be Motion getting involved with Chevy and doing some wild new Z06 vettes.

Exactly what I was thinking. A '68 or '69 Corvette with a Z06 ingine, six speed tranny plus all of the other retro stuff. I'd prefer not to have any of the real modern billet hardware or any similar upgrades, instead make it appear as a classic Phase III with the modern running gear.
I know I'd love to have one myself.
