Default Re: 1964 C2 Corvette old Motion Performance Custom

I think you should do what you want to do with the car. I would like you to keep the 1970s style theme throughout the entire car. I like the Cragar idea and the side pipes too. Continue the theme with wild paint (check out last month's Hot Rod for ideas) and even go wild with the motor with some period correct valve covers and intake manifold. Wow just think how much fun you could have with some 50 series Mickey Thompson Indy Profile S/S raised white letter rears and black walls up front. Even some color spark plug wires and a gilter steering wheel. Don't forget your flex-flan! Then through your travels (if YOU so please) check into some authenic Motion Parts. Like a Phase III ignition box, valve covers if Cal Custom ain't your thing... the list could go on forever!

The issue with the two recent auction sales of Motion Modified Corvettes is that the majority of Corvette owners out there are purists and do not like to see their Corvettes modified regardless if it was done by Joel Rosen. I think a lot of people on this website would have spent more money than $95,000 for that blue convertible and $210,000 for the real Phase III car, I sure would have. So with this Corvette being YOURS and in need of a restoration, make it unique, make it fun, and drive the hell out of it!
