John, do you have any old pictures of the car when it came back from Motion?

Thanks for all the pictures! Keep us updated on the progress of the restoration please!

I WISH, I'm Glad You Ask. That's My Next Question To Reggie?

From what I've read about him from his web site, I'm sure there's a ton of pictures that have been taken of it in the old days. Just a matter of getting some of them :)

Updated with a couple of pictures of the first painting pass, before putting back together.

Thanks John! Keep the pictures coming. Too many is never enough :)

After reading that Motion only built 3 car, I'm not sure my car is one of the three. Can anyone tell me who made the kit on my car? and the other nose that I have at the shop? Foution said that he thought Motion built the car. I can't understand how he could not remember if Motion built the car or not? Should I spend the $1,500.00??????????

I would like to add Mirrors to my car. Where did Motion buy his mirrors? What brand where they?

John, does your car have the 67 back up lights? WAYNE

Nope No 67 Lights! Go to the owners section You can see my car LQQK Under John Shaw!

Call Joel up and talk with him, give him the history via phone. Chances are that you will be able to get some level of documentation from him that will increase your car value. You providing the history that you know about the car will have an impact on what he says. You will still have to pay the money.

I believe that the number 3 is the number of new cars that Motion built.

I believe the number 3 , is the number of bodies Motion bought from John Silva in the beginning.

Until I see paper work I believe the number of Motion/silva bult Macos to be closer to on on 5 not 3,
That's when he was with Silva, I believe silva had a hand in the body work and the cars are made better, note the huge fiberglass hinge mounting plates in the hoods of most compaired to the metal strips in one motion car I have seen. then mr motion made his own molds and those too were Motion Macos just not silva/motion Macos, the high dollar ones are the true motion built stuff, last time I talked to Mr Motion his price starts at 1500.00 to document a car to it being real motion or not.

The number 3 comes from John Silva, through Wayne Ellwood (the man behind Shark Quarterly).

We would like to see an update on that blown vettewagon that corvetteonly is doing as well, They should pull that Mako nose off the wall and put it on that project: (just an idea).

Good Job David. That car looks good. Guess there will be a bunch of folks "borrowing" those pictures now.
