Does anyone know anything about a 74 Motion Can Am Spyder Corvette?
 
I read something about a 1974 Motion Can Am Spyder GT Corvette on a corvette sight last night. I have also seen the same car in Muscle Car Review a couple years ago. Does anyone know if this is authentic motion material?

Yes Motion Performance built a IMSA style Corvette called the Motion Spyder. The one I have seen in a magazine had the wide IMSA fenders and 4 exposed rectangle head lights.

Here are a couple of pics. I actually posted these a couple of months ago. I believe that this is actually a 76 model. I would expect that there is a lot of variation from car to car, and that it would be unusual to find any two Motion Corvettes just the same, since these were built to order.

What is one of these worth if documented? I found one for sale that has less than 15,000 original miles on it and is in pretty good shape. It is a little different than the posted pic. It has metal louvers instead of the hatch and doesn't have the big spyder on the cowl. However it does have a plaque that says it's built by motion and all the badges and hone O/D. Anyone have any idea on the value of this?

Motion also had a red Corvette with the same exact body modifications that was featured in Hot Rod and Car Craft in '77 or '78. Was yours originally red??

Yeah, this one is red. It looks just like the one in the picture, but doesn't have the spider picture on the cowl and the back window is not a hatch. It has metal louvers on it and the actual window underneath is plexiglass and has clips so it can drop down about 6 inches. Do you guys know what this thing could be worth?
