1969 corvette BM shop car?? With attempted murder and ties to Watkins Glen track

The picture with the tunnel ram has a set of different valve covers. Wire standoff is in a different location and so is the motion placard. Not sure what that means, but you can toss part of the story.

I think the photo with the dual quads was taken from the Motion book. He posted it to show the similarity between the valve covers.

Correct. Just used the photo from the book to show another example of this valve cover. Did any other source use the drippers other than the factory units? The chrome plating on these is just so different than the factory ones that were originally with the car. Not trying to pull a fast one and slip a faked car by. All the histories of the car line up with the original parts that came with the car. About the only two things I do not have right now from its past is the Motion stinger hood ( trying hard to get it) and the other wheels that had the wider tires the original owner used. Those are lost for good. What is on there are the original steel wheels. I got the car because of its Motion ties, and its crazy past, plus that it was a stashed away barn find which I collect. I still have work to do on it, little things but is very enjoyable to sit behind the wheel of a car with this rich of history. Sorry but I do not see any part of the story that needs to be thrown out. No fake reproduction Motion parts on the car from what I can see. Just a shop car not a high dollar true Motion built car, cant afford $200k for a car, but the ties to the shop and having them untouched is what I was after. Thanks again for all the imput.
