Motion Vega info?

The feds ended the V8 Vega program because of an article written in car craft magazine titled "King Kong is living on Long Island" that brought their attention to Motion plus the vega was a smog prepared economy car and had 5 smog devices on the car. Motion Performance was removing the smog devices and installing small and big blocks in these cars. When the feds paid Joel a visit he was ordered to cease and desist. He was to be fined $10,0000 per smog device removed (I believe that was the price) thats 50,000 per vehicle. He settled with them and could only build the specialty Phase III Supercars for export only. I believe he received a small fine greatly less than the original cost.I know this isnt 100% correct but you get the jist of it.
