DESCRIPTION

Joel Rosen’s Motion Performance produced many a legendary muscle car, perhaps the rarest of which was the 1973 Motion Corvette Manta Ray GT. Only three were built, and this Red and Black coupe is the only one known extant today. While its most obvious features are the Corvette’s modified bodywork, dramatic Motion paint scheme, Hooker headers and sidepipes and excellent original interior, the most striking change is under the hood in the form of a fully breathed-on 350/350 HP small block backed by a beefy 400 Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission.
