MOTION MANX! (PICURE ATTACHED)

Might not qualify as a "Supercar", but it is a Motion-Minicar that was used by Bill Mitchell to tow his dragsters to the track on race weekends. Built by Motion & originally owned by Joel Rosen of Motion Performance. 7,100 original miles. Original Polyglas GT L60 tires on rear. I just put new radials on the front as they were shot, but kept the originals.

Regards,

Sean

I can't imagine towing something very heavy behind that, but I sure think it is really neat looking.

I would think it would be more suited for towing a sand dragster to the beach.

Thanks for the pic. Glad to see another of Joels cars perserved.

Thanks Pantera,

I agree! He used it to tow the Thunderbug dragster. Not a big block Chevelle, but still alot of weight for this little car. 4th gear is a little noisy, probably the result of towing that extra weight.

Maybe Bill has a picture laying around with his "rig" at the track back in the day..
