That article referenced above was written by Ro McGonegal and was titled "Don Hardy Before The V-8 Vega"...

Not aware of anyone ever coming to Motion Performance to build a car or cars that wasn't a Motion employee. Motion used both commercially available and Motion-branded V-8 Vega conversion kits.

Sorry but that door tag looks like it was just recently riveted onto it.

Thanks too for the clarification Marty and you're right, we should all read your book!
Gotta love that about this site, how lucky we are that a few of the original players are right here!!!

The technology used on that tag was not invented for use in 1973. Looks like laser dot engraving.

Thanks for the information. This is a good example of how something not made clear can cause confusion. The word &quot;kits&quot; would have made a world of difference in this case, as it leaves room for a misunderstanding to take place.
Thanks to the members of this great site for sharing their experience.
