If I remember correctly, the Yellow Motion Phase III Corvette Joel found and restored was originally bought as a gift for a movie producer and later found on a movie set wearing cheap black paint over the original Motion paint/stripes. It was said to have been in a movie. The story is in a Vette mag article.

Motion built a few cars though the 1980s and maybe early 1990s. and still was designing/selling some custom fiberglass parts.
Here is a picture of Joel’s wife’s Mustang that was used in the catalog.
I was told she would cruz this rig to LI beach with the top down and a big dog riding shotgun.

You still must have good eyes for an old guy. You seem to see everything in motion.

Neither of these are 73's while sporting a chrome bumper.

There hasn't been any history discovered on any GT's after 71.

Joe G.; Have you any more text or follow-up on that story?

[JoeG]

The rumor that was printed is that this PhaseIII GT 454 vette appeared in Cannonball Run but that clip wound up on the cutting room floor....but the car was saved..

[motioniroc87]

AS EVERYBODY CAN SEE THIS IS NOT THE CAR I AM TALKING ABOUT
THE CAR IN CLEOPATRA JONES PICTURED ABOVE THE YELLOW GT IS A 73 AND DOES NOT HAVE A CROME FRONT BUMPER THATS THE MOTION STRIPE WRAPPING AROUND THE FRONT RUBBER BUMPER THIS IS THE ONLY PICTURE I COULD RETRIEVE OFF THE INTERNET IM TRYING TO GET A COPY OF THE MOVIE TO POST MORE PICTURES
