68 vet motion? vin # 194378S423906

I also have seen in the 67- 69 range that motioo built alot of customer specs and that no two are alike. the mods are extremely typical of motion. there are three vets on his site that have these mods and I have seen the ecklers style and these are different. a few people have seen them and said they are extremely well done. If a high end car collector would send out to NY to have them done don't u think it would have been joel! Plus the engine has his style of mod. thanks for ur comments just look closer.

Look at the white motion vet on there site and it looks right on. If u noticed the fender wells are modified too. there are other vets that have these exact mods. but not all on one vet. What I need is a good lead on that Mr. Riley and that car museum or collection. I really like to hear ur comments and tap ur expetize. Thanks again!! can u get me proof of these other mods that are the same?

-----jtb,,,Im not calling you out or anything. Im just going by some fairly deep experience. I just Googled anything to do with Joe or Motion and spent twenty minutes looking for the website you are referring to and couldnt find it. Can you start by letting us in on that??? The pictures I did see of 68/69s had virtually none of the modifications that are done to yours. I know for a fact that the rear spoiler is Ecklers. There have been so many different wheel-lips available over the years that Im not willing to say whose they are. Other than those two things and the filled headlight holes there are no other body mods. No reversed scoops, no rear window, no tail-light mods, no hood mods!!! I agree that every Motion Vette was different but as far as Im concerned this (very nice) Corvette of yours doesnt show us enough Motion type mods to make the leap. With paperwork, maybe.......Bill S

thanks for ur imput! Joel has stated in his articles that some vet owners did not want the modified hoods and that some wanted more of a sleeper car. and that he built them to their specs and the only thing for sure was that it would do the 1/4 mile in at least 11.5 seconds. the big modification came after 68, after he became the 2nd leading maker of supercars. The web site is THE SUPERCAR REGISTRY and search gallery. Thanks. PS You will find ablack and white picture of a motion vet with only one visable mod.

I believe that after 68 or even 69 he made enough money to really do up his cars like the phase III, thats why its so hard to pick out the early ones because he was more focused on speed.As his customer base grew and the demand for more modified and unique cars for the high end clients climbed he need to go over the top for them.He got smarter and started to tag and market them to the very high end client. Genius!! So the early ones are even hard for him to identify without a lot of research!

rear end has end caps, not u bolts, so probabley an original bb car, shouldn't it have a 9 leaf for a rear spring as a hi-po car? gotta crawl under my 68 and take a look, this looks like a really nice modified car, still has short hood and looks like work was done back in the day. Remove some current "layers of cheese" (foot pedals,floor mats, mid console) and this looks like a great car. It's worth what somebody will pay. I'd drag it home but my wife already looks at me sideways, its a sin to be scared of a 118lb woman, but I have my reasons.
