Thanks!

Still looking for the original "King Kong" article ( in Hot Rod?) that caused the Feds to put the pressure on Joel to "cease and desist"

I was able to get a hold of Kurt Huntington about his Motion Vega..Super nice guy..This car had quite the history with him..Very interesting story behind this car...
At one time the car was sitting in a back yard, weeds growing around it..Kurt actually owned the car a couple times prior to doing a total restoration on it..
I would tell the story as he told it to me but I would hate to be inaccurate about the details...

Kurt did mention he has an old video of this car after restoration, hopefully he can find it, was willing to lend it to me so I can make a copy..If so I will post it..

Thank you Wiseguyrc You made my day!

Seems like Motion may have used the same car for PR for different articles.

Nice Boat!
