great car and documentation work

Do you know if this Corvette had the black/chrome Motion emblems installed when new?

I am curious when the Motion metal emblems were first used which I think was sometime early 1970 so this car may not have had them or he may not have wanted them installed.

You may be able to find who did the bodywork on the car. Some guys that did the Motion body work are still around.
Gary "the Local Brush" may remember the car.

Hi Joe,

From the pictures and information from Tom i dont think it had a motion badge. Just the Mr.Motion decals, and Super Car Club decal that Tom added.

How do i track down Gary and the other gentlemen?

Thanks,
RJ

Probably the only Motion prepped car out there has never had headers.

Tom knew exactly what he wanted and Joel could not change his mind :-)

Besides the 70 LT-1s were pushing more then 400HP stock..

Just like the intakes and headers from GM with alot of the high performance cars in the day.
