the only thing I'd question is the back glass and the lack of that cool filler cap thing.

I wish I knew why people do stuff like that to perfectly good cars.

Interesting, but I really don't like the mod to the headlights, makes the whole car look like a 280z with body flares. :U

Wow! It has a racing cam, racing pistons, and a new racing clutch.

It is now a car that won't idle, needs to go to the airport to filllup with gas and needs both your feet to depress the clutch pedal

I was getting ready to say that it looked like somebody managed to cross-breed a Datsun, Charger, and Vette all at the same time, but it looks like a couple people above noticed that too. <shudder>

As my uncle would say, "It's purty"

It could be a real Motion, but heavly bubbafied. Bad shape or not, if it's a real one, it's a significant piece of Corvette history

The $8,800 "buy it now" price is a bargin!!! Super "rare" Corvette-has throwout bearings!!! 2 or 3? My two 4spd cars only have one each!!! I thought MidAmerica Designs owned the "Corvette Summer" movie car!!! Guess I was wrong again!!! :U
