Joel Rosens Motion Performance produced many a legendary muscle car, perhaps
the rarest of which was the 1973 Motion Corvette Manta Ray GT. Only three were
built, and this Red and Black coupe is the only one known extant today. While its
most obvious features are the Corvettes modified bodywork, dramatic Motion paint
scheme, Hooker headers and sidepipes and excellent original interior, the most
striking change is under the hood in the form of a fully breathed-on 350/350 HP
small block backed by a beefy 400 Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission.
