Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Thanks! Not enough caffeene this morning. OK, some comments etc on other questions: I actually live in Franklin, PA which is near the I-80 and I-79 interchange. Rural PA to be generic. As for putting the car in the supercar, it would be fun and if my schedule isnt filled i think i will try. However, one of the reasons i posted my car on here is to get the car known out there. I would be pessimistic and leary myself if a rare car showed up, so if there are any questions on this please let me know. Just look at ebay and others for cars passing off as the real thing. Also the last thing i want to do is just try and barge in on a groups agenda. I like cars just like everyone here, so if it just stays here that is great. But I also believe i am too late for 2009, but maybe 2010. I briefly read the requirement for it, so i dont know if it is an invite only, or send the application and see.
Anyway, as always i appreciate all the help and comments. I literally just got this in my garage less than a week ago, so it is going ot take a little to get up to speed for questions i have. But feel free to ask any on my end, i want to make sure that if i do bring this to IL, that everyone is comfortable that this is a real one. That last thing this group would want would be an imposter. Just taking the other sides view!

Send the Appy in...JMO... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
Hope to see you there. Untill that first time you will not understand the fun factor level.
Best part, aside from the car's https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif there are some great new people to meet.

Mike https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Mike, first..looks like a really neat car, with all of the B/M goodies.

I will try an answer your questions, if I miss something, feel free to ask.

The Annual Supercar Reunion has no deadline for entry. As we get closer, we will have a "scheduled to attend" thread, but that is not etched in concrete, just a way to give folks an idea of what is coming. If you do decide to attend SCR12 (this year), we would love to know in advance, but not required. One of the neat things about the reunion is there are always a few surprises show up.

It is an open show. However, as they have done with you, members will extend an invitation to new comers, inviting them to attend the SCR, and other sYc events. Our goal with the SCR is to treat everyone the same, each paying the same entry fee and no judging, with everyone receiving the same participation award. The SCR is about hanging out friends, meeting new ones, and enjoying some of the rarest, and coolest cars in the world.

You speak of imposters, yes, we have fell victim to that. As in life, you live and learn, but in the long one, once is became apparent they were a fraud, they became the big loser. They may get their two minutes of fame, but they then become outcasts in the hobby.

Keep posting pictures, and I hope you can join us Labor Day 2009 in Collinsville.

BTW, your car would sure look neat lined up nest to other B/M cars at the track. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

The only thing I could add to that would be M22Mike's statement about the "Fun Factor". Guaranteed to have more smiles per hour than anywhere else in the country that weekend.
Plus, there's usually a good contingent from your part of the country heading out this way. Safety in numbers as you travel. Hope you can make it.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

I agree with the fun factor, there is no denying that! I am going to sign up as a member as well as sign up for the SCR. I cant promise anything since around that time we were planning a family vacation. I would like to get my dad and uncle to go as well. Becoming a member is the least i can do with all the help i have received and all the input i will be asking for in the future.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

------Mike,,,What a great piece of history!!! Am wondering if it ever had any wheels other than the Rallys on it. All those modifications and then stock wheels. Dont get me wrong,,, Rallys are fine, just wondering........Bill S

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

just curious...and maybe I missed it already....was this car originally an SS car?? 375 hp car?? X-22 or x-66?? I wonder what they started with...and what happened to the original motors that they pulled out?...

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

I will have to check on teh Rallys, can anyone tell if it was on option on the sales sheet? As for the above question, I would be guessing if i answered that. But i thought they were ordered with the 396...but again each one seems different so again i am passing this to someone more informative.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Mike
Can you post a shot of the trim tag ? Or check to see if there is a X66 or X22 code there. My guess it's X22, assuming the car always had the Z21 brigt trim.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Thanks for the underbody shots! I can see that the S pipe was used to hook up the sidepipes.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

glad it worked out, i was afraid the pic was not close enough for detail.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Don't worry, pictures are worth a thousand words. That helped me out a bunch! I was worried that they went under the subframe. How do those pipes sound and do the covers get really hot after driving?

I see where it says "inglewood tires and radius wheelwells"..but nothing about rims that I see...anyone know what are Inglewood tires? I assume they were wide if they had to radius the wheelwells

They started out with L78 cars and went on from there...if Baldwin Chev. didn't have the right car at the lot they may trade with other local dealers.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

This car is my favorite. Just incredible. It will be interesting what inglewood tires tires turn out to be, and getting some period correct tires on it.

Bill Krech's Inglewood Tire Co. was one of those early California companies that fueled the hot rod movement with specialty tires. They were a charter member helping to found SEMA.
They supplied midget racers with tires in the forties and made those wide whitewall recap slicks you remember from the early sixties. They were M/T's competition on those L 60's and such we all loved back in the late sixties. I don't think they have been in business for quite some time.


This car to me is the ultimate Motion car - it's what I drooled after in Baldwin's showroom weekly! A black with red stripe '69 427 Motion Camaro - it just doesn't get any better!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Thanks for the info M22Mike!
Also for NovaJed, my aunt always said the side pipes get really hot and she always thought she would burn her legs. Luckily so far it has been too cold here so i have alway work jeans when i have driven it.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

I can only imagine how restrictive that exhaust system is...it kills horsepower, but it looks so nice! I think you would wet yourself with the increase in power if you ran out through open headers... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

As you will notice, I have removed several pictures from this thread, mostly of Motion paperwork. This was done per the owner's request, fearing that it might be used to build, and then "document" another Motion car. As much as I hate to see the photos gone, I have to agree.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Smart move, and I apologize for putting them up. I just thought (at the time) that Mike had posted the link so I might make them easier for others to view.
No harm intended Mike. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

I would never have a problem with the guys here that love the cars with showing or taking pictures of whatever is asked, it is the ones that have alternative motives for deception that myself and everyone has issues with. Since it is a public site you just cant determine what could possibly be done with the information. Sorry i had to do this, but i think it is the safest. Thanks for everyone input! You definatley know your stuff.

Dennis, I think it was good to post the pictures for a short time, as we know what happens when someone says I have docs, etc, but will not let anyone see them.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

I agree as well, if i read that a person had what i was saying i had without paperwork, i wouldnt believe it as well for a second. Things actually worked out for the best all around. Most of you here got to see the paperwork anyway.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

You throw a set of redline tires on there from diamondback classics and that car will pop even more!...you gotta have the "right shoes for the outfit"!...some 15" Ansen Sprints would be neat to see on the car...those seemed to be popular with Joel back in the day...

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

OK, since it was brought up and a good idea, where would one find a set of Ansen Sprints!
And yes, i am going to try and go to the reunion in september.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Honestly, one of the greatest Camaro's I ever seen, and The Holy Grail for many.

I have been in Franklin and Oil City many times for work, actually a beautiful area in the summer and fall.
