That is a great question https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

The history of these two cars is like no other. Mark had some early photos of the pair in front of Motion performance. In the one shot you could even see the bumper hitch on the Chevelle. Gives you goosebumps.

I don't think anyone gets special invites, we just fill out the registration form, load up the trailers, bring plenty of money for diesel and chips and hit the road

Here is the link for the registration.

Re: BEST OF BALDWIN MOTION
 

...heck...I'd push Mark's Chevelle all the way from Arizona to get it to the Reunion cause it's SOOOOO COOL!...

Re: BEST OF BALDWIN MOTION
 

Mike, Thanks for posting the pictures, they are great! What are the wheel and tire sizes on the Chevelle? Thanks https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: BEST OF BALDWIN MOTION
 

Do not remember, the backs are larger than the front, Mark will have to answere that for you, sorry.
I enjoyed posting the pic's. I always love to look at the great shots from other parts of the US and "Oh-Canada". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: BEST OF BALDWIN MOTION
 

I've had several inquires about the wheels and tires. As I had previously posted they are the original Torque Thrusts that were on the car when it left LI in Sept 1970- 14x6s in front and 15x8.5s in the rear. The original order invoice shows "Special INDY tires $200.00". The original photos of the car new show red line tires with the above mentioned wheels. I believe the rears are L70s. To replicate as close to original as possible, I had Diamondback Classics custom fabricate them on bias ply L60x15s rear and F70x14s front. Bill Chapman at DB Classics only wanted to build them on a radial type tire but I wanted an original look. After some trial and error (some tires sacraficed) they came out great. They are great folks to work with. Bill informed me they will hold up just fine during a burnout and they are truly very close to what came on the car.
