It sounds like you got some advise already. It sounds to me like you may have come to the right forum with the wrong attitude and impatience.

Amen. Listen it's rare that I jump in like this, but you gotta relax, you gotta check yourself before you wreck your self. You either have a real car or you don't, but guess what? It is what it is. Figure out what you have. I've owned two motion vettes, call me, I'll answer questions. Don't be a dick to these people, these are great people that want to help you. Relax, look at your car, enjoy it and try to figure out how it got to be what it is. Don't suck.

Just because the advice you received wasn't what you wanted to hear doesn't mean you came to the wrong place. As stated by other members; these guys are EXTREMELY knowledeable and are always willing to offer their assistance (as they did in your case) but, you can't wish a car into being something it isn't.
Lighten up,accept and appreciate the advice that was given. Do some research on your own and, once you have gathered that information, contact Joel Rosen or present it to the guys here again. Documenting these cars isn't easy as many of the owners of Motion cars have already stated. The members here are willing to help but, you need to get your hands dirty yourself before you throw a tantrum.

-----I dont know, jtb, my conscience is clear. I told you what I knew, nothing more, and you plainly didnt want to hear it so I quit. Enjoy your Corvette, Motion or not, and quit worrying about its value.......Bill S

You all missed what I was asking.. "A road map to specific answers and parts so that I can tract this car". Motion or not I still needed specific info not generalities. I also got it way back that joel will be the final answer. You get frustrated when your drowning and every one is throwing you anchors. Sorry no attitude hear just frustration

jtb-Do you have a pic of the traction bars? FWIW, the bars go from the bottom of the spring pad forward at a slight outward angle. The bars themselves look like the camber adjusting rods only about 3" longer.

Sorry for not answering sooner. I'm having stalling problems and I need to jack up the back end to get under far enough to take good pictures.I should get to it this weak.
