Phase III GT trivia

Joel himself said only 10 were built. Including the prototype and a yellow 70 that burned to the ground on the dealership lot.

Adam, not sure what your source is talking about.
The 1969 Orange one at CT auction in the pictures has stock back window, stock tail lights, and no GT emblems.

Which car (except for the prototype) are they saying does not have the headlight modification?
I know of 3 more in addition to the 10 mentioned here that claim to be Motion Phase III GTs. All the ones I have info on have the headlight modification (except for the prototype)

Also know of a white one and a red one that look like Motion Phase III GTs but owners say they are home built. Not including these 2 cars in the 13 cars mentioned above.

These 13 are not all documented cars. Some of this info is just from the owners so hard to say how accurate it is. have pictures of most of them but some are probably not Motion built if Joel has said there are only 10.

Is there any more info or pictures on this white 71?

Second owner. Have all documentation. Extremely rare. Ready to restore. Original paint was white with black wave, but it is orange now. Jacksonville, FL. Any interest?

I retract this statement.. I was quoting old info.. Marty told me the official word is their best guess is between 10-12 real Phase III GTs were made. Since some of their records have been lost we may never really know exactly. He did say most of the real ones have been accounted for tho. Hopefully his book will tell the whole story and finally put to rest all the controversy around these GTs.

Look for this one at Corvettes at Carlisle from Corvette Repair. This might be wrong but I think he was restoring one and cloning another. Which this is, who knows?
