That'a a cool car. Motion called them RatBirds.

I hear they did a bunch of them although not many have been found.

Motion got a good deal on LS6 and LS7 454 long blocks so it was less expensive to do the Chevy swap then to build the poncho to that power level.


They have USA 1 plates on them and look at whats in the Motion garage

Very interesting. Motion cars were gawdy but I like what they represent.

I thought they used Chevy engines because they made a s*** lode more horse power and didn't blow to bit's like the ponchos.:D

Cool car. But is it worth $100K?
