Default Re: 1970 motion Mako Shark

----As you know, just because it says Motion in the add doesnt necessarily mean it was done by Joel. Im not sure exactly how things transpired back in the era, but John Silva, a native Mass. boy developed all those Mako Shark molds that you see on this and other Makos and built several himself. I saw the original molds in Johns shop more than once back then. Weather John did the Motion cars (maybe just the 1st one?), or weather some 3rd party popped copies of the pieces or weather Joel bought the body pieces or molds from John and had the work done by his guys I dont know. A stock 350/350 Mako coming out of Motion just doesnt sound quite right, though!.....Bill S
