Default At a California Swapmeet?

I meant to post this a few weeks ago and completely forgot until I was pulling some parts out of storage today for ebay. I bought these at the Turlock swapmeet a few weeks ago. The guy said he had the for a very long time and took them off of a 440. It was obvious he had no idea what Motion was. Anyway, I thought it was interesting to see these emblems on a set of Mopar covers, especially out here on the West coast.

The reason I had them pulled out was to take pictures for ebay. The covers and elblems are starting on Ebay tonight. I did not start this thread as a for sale ad. I just thought I would share the fact that the emblems were on Mopar covers and made it all the way to the west coast.

C [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]L score!.

Considering the Motion Iso Grifo cars, were any other European exotics of the day known to have been Motion modified like 383/440 powered Jensen Interceptors, Facel-Vegas etc?.

There was a red 71 Challenger that was &quot;getting the treatment&quot; and was destined for International delivery. I remember it was equipped with hand controls for a disabled driver. It had the widest tires I had ever seen on a street car at the time. This was approx 1974/5
