Old corvette with what appears to be a 240z nose, older customized car thats been in storage. Do not think its a motion car. Who knows, maybe? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2435966600

Noticed that it has front fenders from 75 up corvette (fender vents)w/ fender flag from 78 up covette. T tops appear to be from 78 up covette also. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

Doesn't look like a Motion car. There were others (besides Motion) putting out these "datsun" looking vettes back in the day as well as selling kits to do-it-yourselfers. This looks like one of those. A B/M car would have many more tell tail signs that this car doesn't have. My opinion. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I agree with 55chevy. Does not appear to be a motion car, but does have a lot of motion looking details to it (4 into 1 headers & sidepipes, front end, etc.) If it was a motion car, the owner would definitely know about it. Nobody normal owns a sportscar. If you own a musclecar, chances are you know your history on it.

4 into 1 header sidepipes came from the factory on Vettes. The nose doesn't look like a motion item... Looks like a knock off.. Just something about it... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

I disagree. Vettes did indeed come with sidepipes, but not with the 4 into 1 headers. The headers were aftermarket products. I believe the stock sidepipes were connected by an S pipe to the headers.
