Default 69 Motion Phase III GT Vette, found & restored

Check this out. Just got word and pics of an Orange with black stripe 69 Motion Phase III GT vette that has just been restored. This car is beleived to be the one used in the BM magazine ads of the late 60's early 70's. The resto was overseen by Joel. The car has the Dodge fuel filler cap, single headlights and 3 slit taillights. Also, word is that this car will be up for sale very soon. The owner is located in the south east. Just thought some of you might want to know. Don't know any other details about the car, but it looks real nice.

There was a Motion Phase III Corvette on the cover of Sep. 1970 hi per cars magazine. I thought it was the same car but the one in the magazine looks red.

That is in fact the very same car. I also have the magazine. If you look at the article you will see that it has the dodge style fuel filler cap. Motion only made about a dozen phase III GT's and it is beleived only one with the dodge fuel cap.
The color is way off on the cover. That vette graced the cover of dozens of magazines in the early 70'S.

Sure here you go. Did you ever do any work on these cars and if so what color were they?

By the way please fill in your profile.

Ohh yeah the owner of that car should be a guy from arkansas by the name of Jim Parkington. It was a really big job. Joel was the one who took those pics. I have some of it too I'll see if i can geet them scaned in and i'll post them. I did quite a bit of work for Joel in the last ten years or so.
