I told you a few weeks ago, CUSTOMS are going thru the roof the next couple of years.

If the car is in pristine,or better than original condition,they will bring the big bucks.Exceptional cars are more desireable now than ever,and will increase in price.Anyone who has ever had a car restored knows you can buy one easier,and cheaper,than you can build one.I loved the sport of customization is the only reason I did it.I'm still an airbrush artist,30 years later,because I love it.Wayne is right,It's long overdue.Long live customs.

I know we've had this debate before but, all the lines are there. This thing screams Motion Proformance. I know I'm beating a dead dog with you "untill Joel Rosen signs …

Hey guys, thats my car (or was) that your talking about that was on e-bay, and yes, after six months of research, after talking to alot vendors that did work for Rosen "back in the day", and after sending out packet after packet of info to people, it ended up being the real deal, Rosen is signing off on the car. The Car WAS NOT one of three Manta RAYS, it is one of one. Car bid up to 21k, then with 1 hour of talking to Rosen I had three buyers at my buy it now. I almost decided not to sell the car, as with painting it back to its proper color and some other minor resto work, the car would bring big dollars at B-J or one of the other auctions. I decided not to be greedy and make a fair dollar on the car and let the next guy finish it up. It's a great car, thats the problem, with the car being so nice and now with the proper history I would never enjoy the car. I have one Corvette now that I treat like a museum piece, I don't need two.

I am in the market for another car, anybody with leads please contact me. Thank you.

How many Motions, who knows for sure, how many Maco's my guess is around 100 to 150 Motion Maco's alone, not including …

See? You get that from me for zero dollars and it means as much as Rosen saying "keep digging".

Hey guy's thanks for the welcome.....this car is a delight to have and is going to be a blast.Lots of people showing intrest in it.Every one is waiting on it to be finished.This car turned out to not be a "Maco" or "Manta" the car was to be a bridge between the two and was never named, but has been named by Mr. Motion. and the name you will have to wait until the articles are printed. The first issue will be july issue of Vette vue's magazine which is the one being handed out at Bloomington Gold show. I still in a little shock about this hole deal...Ron was a great guy.... we all found out about this car at the same time. He's Ok about this he knew this car is going in the right direction finally and did'nt won't to slow that and he knew there was a lot of money to be made now. Thanks again for your intrest...........Dan

For some reason it won't let me put up any photo's "Sorry"
