that's the same wing that is on the 81 Motion Phase III Corvette. who installed it should be determined. I sent a picture to Gary and asked if he remembers painting this.

I think I have seen that distinctive upholstery before in a late 70's Motion Corvette in an old 70's article but can't remember for sure.

Etched glass lettering ?

Motion used etched glass lettering on some of the 80's built cars. My 1987 Motion Monte Carlo has it and have seen it on other Motion built cars.

A similar wing was used a the Motion Super Shark III Corvette show car

1978 or '79 - before the wing/flares installation, those valve covers on the ground sure do have the right contour for motion pieces - small block car. As I understand it the car was put together from the Motion catalog, but now someone here in the province recently said the car may have spent time in New York, so who knows.
sorry for the unscanned pics - I plan on doing it this week.

Joel Rosen does know about this car and remembers sending the guy a &quot;truckload of stuff&quot; (his words). I spoke with Joel in 1999 when I was ordering some stuff and when he found out where I was from he started talking about his Newfoundland dogs and this '73 Vette &quot;up there&quot; that was all Motion stuff. I didn't know what car he was talking about at the time so I never pressed him for details. Only recently heard where it was.

The Car in the Trailer is on page 28-30 of the CARS CORVETTE 1975 ANNUAL (at least I think it is), make your own decision, if it is it was a motion Turbo corvette,
