Unfortunately life has taken an unexpected turn so I am looking to sell off some of my things. I am trying to get a ballpark figure on the value of one of my cars. I have a 76 motion phase 3 L88 Vette that I purchased a while back and stored away. It has solid documentation from both the dealership and Motion Performance which includes a Motion receipt that lists all options and a letter from Mr. Rosen that states what it is and being capable of running 10 seconds in a 1/4 mile. I am hesitate to post pics at this time because of the possibility of scammers trying to duplicate the documents. It appears the car has the original engine , trans and rearend except the gearing have been changed. The body and interior are very nice but the paint is not the best. I am hoping to get some advice on the value and what might be the best way to sell it. Thank you in advance.

Well I'm sure if it was modified by Motion it's probably worth a lot. Can we at least see pictures of the car?

Sounds really cool. I have a pic I took somewhere of a Motion spider hood from a 75-76 vette.
Would love to see pics of your car!

Got it out and literally hosed the dust off. Just trying to get an idea what it’s worth so I can put it up for sale .

That Corvette sure looks the part, I like it. With the L88, I bet it's a beast. Were they still doing conversions in late '75 and '76?

Yes, the gang was still at it, though much less than they had been a few years prior.

Very cool car.

Motion Performance was still building a few cars in Baldwin NY into the 1990s.

Nice Corvette. Was it sent to Motion as a new car?

Do you know what year your Corvette was modified by Motion?

Is there a year stated on the Motion work order paperwork?

here is a similar Motion Corvette on the cover of Cars Corvette 1976

The paperwork states it was brought to Motion Performance after New Car delivery by the dealer.
