Does anyone know anything about a 74 Motion Can Am Spyder Corvette?

<<snip>>I asked the owner what the history was on the car and he told me that the hatches were made only for Corvettes (I wondered if they had been taken off of a Monza Spyder but they had not). I will try to get a photo (if one was taken) to post to compare.<<end>>

To bowtie3168: You're half right about the back hatch coming from a Monza Spyder. The gentleman you spoke to was correct in stating the hatch was made only for the Corvette, but the glass used in the hatch is indeed from a Chevy Monza 2+2 hatchback.

The fiberglass hatchback conversion was an offering by Ralph Eckler of the famed Eckler Industries out of Titusville, FL and could be purchased as an entire back half replacement piece, or as the econo hatchback kit that retained the stock rear bumper.

Interestingly enough, Eckler's also produced a "Monza" one-piece tilt front end, but in reality had nothing in common with the Chevy Monza except for the name and the recessed "Monza-like" quad rectangular headlights that replaced the stock hidden headlamp assembly.
