Mako71 replied to the thread Window Treatment.
I'm missing the rear window louvers on mine too. Just a plexiglass window with rubber moulding around it now. I was going to make a metal set by cutting down a louver set from a camaro I had laying around. One of those p…

Here's one. I guess it is the 30th anniversary Johnny Lightning cars that come with the patch. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=760&item=6935297938&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

I see the JL Mako Shark II w/Patch on ebay fairly offten. Think there is one on now. You can probably get it cheaper at a johnny Lightning collector site. Good old google......
Mako71 replied to the thread Cool Mako Key Chain on eBay.
There was a guy selling Mako II key chains on ebay. I got one and it's really nice. I think he just takes Hot Wheels Makos (could be Johnny Lightning)and puts a chain on them. BTW, you can buy a Johnny Lighting (like hot…

Mako71 replied to the thread 1st Annual Maco Get-Together.
Hi all, I'm in Maryland. That sounds like a great idea to get the sharks together! Please keep me updated. I started to take mine to the last Carlisle show in PA but the master cylendar needs replacing, breaks are weak.…

Mako71 replied to the thread Finish on inside of the hood.
Hi all, Just a suggestion, you may want to try a test spot of the Rino on some other fiberglass. Never know what reaction you could get. Hate to see a Mako meltdown.
Mako71 replied to the thread Mako standard options.
Joel Rosen did tell me the Motion cars rear window louvers were part of the body. He did seem like he was not quite sure about this. I noticed the Silva mako that was for sale on ebay had a separate set of louvers that c…
Mako71 replied to the thread Mako standard options.
Thanks for the info! Yea, mine does look black in the pix, it is a very dark maroon or burgundy. I kind of thought that it may be a Silva car but have no way to find out so far. Thanks, g

Anyone up on the interiors of the Motion built Makos? Where they the same? Where there upgrades? I have seen standard interiors and I have seen really cool custom jobs. Thanks, g
Mako71 started the thread Mako standard options.
A few Makos I’ve seen have several things in common. Some of these are because they were sold as part of the kit but some others make me wonder how they came about. Anyone have any details on these? The paint on mine is…
Mako71 replied to the thread Where to purchase Maco bodies.
He mentioned that to me too, about selling his mako. I was surprised at the price. BIG BUCKS! Off course if you are going to have one that would be the one to have, Mr. Motions personal mako. WOW!
Mako71 replied to the thread Motion Performance Decal.
Yea, that's the second style I have seen. I'll try to get a picture the the chrome background one to you. I will also be sending you some new/better pix of my mako as soon as I find the time. Thanks, g
Mako71 replied to the thread Where to purchase Maco bodies.
Thanks for the info on the body parts. I wondered what they were going for. Do you know of anyone that has spent the $1500 to find out about their car? I have not done that because, like you said, the odds are against it…
Mako71 replied to the thread Motion Performance Decal.
I saw those on ebay and happened to mention something to Joel (Mr. Motion) about it. He is keeping an eye on it. I have seen 3 different versions of the round decal/sticker. The two other variations are 1) just like the…
Mako71 replied to the thread Baldwin-Motion Manta Ray.
Now I am getting really confused (which isn't hard to do for me). I thought that is a Motion Phase III vette. Did they also call them Mantas? By the way, there was one of those siting on a corner for sale about a mile fr…

Any idea what part of Fla? Where did you hear about it?
Mako71 replied to the thread Mako Shark II at Carlisle.
I didn't know the Shark was converted. I thought I read somewhere that it was at Carlisle a year or two ago. But the writer may have mistaken the Manta for the Mako????

Hi All, Does anyone know if the GM Mako Shark II show car will be at Corvettes at Carlisle on August 23 weekend?
