I saw a story in the November 2006 Corvette Fever magazine about a 1968 Motion convertible. It is black with the white motion stripes, L-88 hood, flares, side pipes, phase III ignition, torker intake, Motion finned valve covers, and motion replacement L-88 engine. You might be able to access it on Google if you want to read the story. If I could scan it in and send you a link I certainly wood, but I am not that good at computers! The article is titled THE LEVIATHAN, if you want to do a google search.

One of my favorite Motion cars, but IMO, Motion made some of the best looking modified cars of the era.

Living just 12 miles from Yenko Chevrolet my whole life, I saw a lot of Yenko cars back in the 60's and 70's on the streets and daily drivers ,but I think Motion had better looking and better concept on especially Corvettes than Yenko did. I wish I had lived as close to Motion Performance as I did to Yenko!

Paul, where did you live? I am from the South Hills, Baldwin Whitehall area. My dad was an insurance adjuster for many years and frequented Yenko Chev bitd.

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.
