Default Re: Motion prepped Maco Shark on Ebay

On any "kit" shipped out to people, the rear area was left blank. A popular style selected was the '69 Firebird. I know of 1 that has the 6 tailights like the real Mako Shark II show car.

I think this car is the white one that was on ebay a couple years ago. The white one was built by the boat co. using a Motion kit.

The seller keeps adding to the auction description. He says he received email that similar cars were auctioned for about $500K and more. I'll bet the other cars had documentation. I spent about 1 1/2 hours at this guys shop Monday looking at the car and talking to the owner. He never produced any documentation. He told me he was going to talk to Joel Tuesday morning. He told me he would email or fax me the documents on the car when he found them. I called him again today, Wednesday, to see if there were any updates. I was told he was going to talk to Joel at about noon today and he would call me back. I still haven't heard from them. I don't think there are now or will ever be any proof that this is a Motion modified car. I hope I'm wrong. I have about 20 pictures of the car for anyone that is interested. I can email them to anyone or post them here.

I think the Motion Maco's were customized to to customers taste--so I guess they were blank---
Here are the rear light assembles of 2 Motion Maco's by Silva--------------

Actually only one of these cars is a Maco; the one on the left is a Phase III GT by Motion

I think in lieu of waiting for this guy to produce any documentation any interested party could just contact Reggie Fountain and Fountain Powerboats to have him verify the story about the car. It would be cheaper than spending the $1500.00 and he might have documentation of his own since he had the car done.....so the seller says.

Thats a very good idea...I don't think anyone would use a person such as Fountains name in a cock and bull story...but people will tell all kinds of dumb ass stories for $$$$.

The seller told me he has some type of paperwork from Reggie Fountain. He says he could never get Reggie on the phone so Reggie's secretary filled out the paper and Reggie signed it. He never showed me that paper either.
