Default Manta Ray kit in Sweden

I found these pics in a Swedish magazine from the mid seventies. I believe someone bought parts, possibly from Motion, and built his own Manta Ray. The sidevents in the front fenders are not typically Motion. Any thoughts ?

I´m just waiting for the first Motion or Baldwin-Motion car to be found in Sweden, since so many New York hi-perf cars were sent here, but I guess I´ll have to wait a little longer.

Another Motion-related Corvette. This one is said to have a Motion-built engine.

That interior doesn't look like any '69 'Vette I've ever seen.

In the seventies Motion had a dealer in Sweden, Musclecars in Malmö. I have never heard if they sold any cars or parts.

------Anders,,,The side scoops are 67 corvette style. They may have been right out of a 67 fender and been grafted into the fender pictured. I have seen it done before.....Bill S
