Default Re: Sykesville MD Phase III Corvette

No I don't think this is a Motion Phase III car but a Motion Mail-Order car done to the owners liking. I think they tried to copy the Phase III car and did a pretty good job.It no longer has a tri-power but was converted to single 4 barrel, 427x intake, 4296 Holley carb (1971 date code).I really don't know anything about the car other than it is in a great original customized condition. The paint is very old and except for changed items it is in a survivor condition.

Motion car or not (?) I am no expert...
It sure is a neat looking machine... a real day-2 street car for sure.
Cool find... is she yours?

Yes bought it last summer, the car drives out nice and I am planning to do nothing to it. It has never been detailed so it really does look like it drove out of 1970. I have taken it to some small car shows and everyone loves the look whether they know anything about cars or not.

Harold you definetly have a cool old Day-2 customized Vette there. Don't do a thing to change it man. Sadly I don't see a single mod on the car that is a Motion piece (except the Moon fuel filler) but it was no doubt built to resemble a Motion Vette. There were alot of companies back in the day that followed Motion's lead on these kind of Vette Mods. Do you know where you car originated from? A car modified like that somebody has to know something about it.

I'm a PA guy myself.. where abouts are you?
