Default 1973 maco shark corvette

Just purchased a 1973 Corvette Maco Shark full chrome bumper car, really neat, needs resto but it is a real nice solid car. Full maco body kit, car is definantly pro built, just trying to figure out if it's a motion or silva built car.

I'll post pictures soon, I'm a computer idiot, I've looked at the posting tutorial, I just need to find a spare couple of hours to learn how to do it.

I got a package in the mail today from the guy I bought the car from, In the package is two "maco" emblems still wrapped in Motion Performance packaging! How cool is that? Obviously I can't unwrap and use them, but really cool to have anyway. Car is a L82 4 speed a/c car, not really a muscle car, but really a cool car.

Weren't the Silva cars marketed as "Mako" and Joel's as "Maco" ?

Ron, email me the pics, I can post them.

Oh yeah, somebody painted a big rose on top of the car, looks bad.

The ribbon paint job on the other hand is awesome and well done, unfortunately the paint is shot and coming off the car. Even though I know this car doesn't have the biggest knife in the fight (little motor) I love these damn cars, I've been drawing this stupid car since I was in 5th grade.
I loved the moray GT when I had it but once I knew what it was it drove me nuts to have it.

How hot would a set of ss camaro "intakes" look on the "power bulges" on this hood?

Thanks Chris for posting pics, make it up to Rochester and I'll buy you lunch.
