1969 Phase 3 GT Corvette

[Dave Rifkin]

The Phase III GT I remember seeing at Motion Peformance was a 1969 Corvette. It did not have the stinger stripe down the side; just the black tail panel with the wrap around stripe on the rear section. I also don't recall it having the slotted tail lamps and, if it did, they weren't as large as the ones in the picture above. The hood striping was different too; I think it just had the center stripe and not the wrap around stripe and finally the car was definately pearl yellow and not Daytona yellow. Oh yeah, the car had a 427 in it and not a 454.
I was only 8 years old at the time but that car and the visit to Motion Performance left quite the impression. Heck for all I know my parents were talking to Joel in the "showroom" area where the car was located. We even walked back in an area where they had a Berry Mini-Tub and in a service bay we saw a brown with white stripe Camaro being turned into a Phase III Camaro.
If only I could travel back in time.

Going through my magazines, I came upon the November 1996 issue of Car Craft. Mr.Miles Cook did an article on Joel Rosen's '70 Phase III Corvette. It was pictured next to a B-17 WWII bomber. My scanner is dead, so I don't have a way to post the pics. By the way, who makes a good reproduction of those Lemans gas caps? See ya.--Bullitt

That it is much smaller than one that Motion used.

A Vette cap is 5 3/4" across and the pop-up caps that Joel used are that same size. The mount should also be round not shaped like that one.

It looks to be a lot smaller than one that was used on the corvettes Joel sold. They also did not have the lettering on the top of the cap like that one does.

I bet that is a boat cap of somekind.

My first impression is that it is much smaller than one that Motion used.

I would ask the seller on that cap what it measures. A Vette cap is 5 3/4" across and the pop-up caps that Joel used are that same size. The mount should also be round not shaped like that one.

1996z15 could this vette your talking about have been a stock bodied vette like the green one that sold at barret jackson last year ? without fixed headlights , and stock tail lights just painted pearl yellow with black striping? or did it have the full body kit? just curious!

[Dave Rifkin]

I am almost certain that it had the full body kit with the exposed headlights and the fastback window; etc.
