Re: Motion convertible
I am in Monroeville. At times way in the past Don Yenko would visit my shop when I still had my partner who he was close friends with.

Re: Late 68-72 B/M Corvette Hood

Re: Late 68-72 B/M Corvette Hood
I thought that the original Motion hoods had the scoop molded on, and then a hole was cut for the air cleaner to fit thru. This hood looks like it is open all the way across the underside. Is that...

Re: Traction bar color
I took some pictures of the traction bar and box, but I can't send them because they are too big? I do not know how to make them any smaller. If someone knows, tell me and I will try.

Re: Traction bar color
This response is probably MUCH too late for the question, but it might be helpful later on to someone. I ran across the original NMW traction bar I purchased from Motion Performance back in mid 70's...

Re: 1968 Motion Maco Corvette going to auction
I did see it on the auction Friday night. It sold for $50,000. They did not have much info on it, you can probably pick up the clip on YouTube or a rerun of the auction will be on next Sunday.

To be honest, I have not looked at the box of Motion parts for many years. I remember the Lemans cap to be shiny, not dull. There was an old fan made of green and white fiberglass I bought way back...
