JoeG did you ever see it run? Sounds like it did run well.
Looked good also in all 3 colors but the ribbon paint job was extra cool.

Noticed no "Baldwin" on the yellow painted version.

I've got the app for the 72 A/MP Motion Camaro...9.54 w/a 432ci....in 1974. Cool stuff !

the car says "Baldwin NY" underneath "MOTION" but I think that Baldwin Chevrolet was already Lyon Chevy by mid 1973, not sure when the Camaro was painted yellow.

I was told the Baldwin Chevy building was a few different names before it became Lyon Chevy.
I don't think it was Lyon Chevy until the 1980s.
I know Joel R bought my Motion Monte SS new from there in 1987

I saw the Ribbon car run Joe ,and you're right the paint job by Gary was "Very" super cool---Why I never took photos is beyond me---Guess I thought it would never end.........

Lyon Chev closed by late? 74, it was Williams Chevrolet only for a brief period between Baldwin and Lyon. Of course anyone can dispute this as I am old, forgetful, balding and only human.

Dog, have you pictures or old newspapers scanned with dates to back me up or shoot me down? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: True piece of Motion fame: A real National Record
 

I'm drawing a blank Chris, unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you - I remember going there in late '76 getting a price on a Yellow RS they had in the lot, but I can't remember what name they were going by at that time. (I'm ashamed to say I would up getting an XR-7, though I did love that car)
I'll see if I have anything that will clarify the dates.

Re: True piece of Motion fame: A real National Record
 

That's a Baldwin sticker on the back of this '73 - isn't it?

From the Baldwin Motion site -
"Starting in 1967 and running through 1974, Baldwin-Motion offered SS (425-hp) and Phase III (500-hp and up) big-block Camaros, Novas, Chevelles, Corvettes and Biscayne Street Racer Specials. Cars were sold at Baldwin Chevrolet or Motion Performance, converted by Motion and financed and delivered by Baldwin. Phase III 427 and 454 cars came with a written, money back, quarter-mile performance guaranty from Joel Rosen."

Re: True piece of Motion fame: A real National Record
 

"After Baldwin Chevrolet and its successors, Williams Chevrolet and Lyons Chevrolet, closed their doors in 1974, Joel Rosen sourced his new Chevrolets from other dealers as well as customers...."
