Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

outstanding. cant wait to see it in person one of these days.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

I wanted to thank the Steve Shauger, Brett Marryman, Forrest Merryman, Brett Merryman, and Bob Harris for taking the time and judging my camaro. It was a great learning experience and i appreciate you putting up with all my questions! Just a FYI, the car scored a 2484.44 out of a possible 2820.78
Not too bad for that old of a car. I have to give credit to my uncle for taking such good care of it over the years. I also wanted to say hello to all the great new people i met at the show. I am horrible at names, but everyone i met was great. I apologize to the ones i did not meet, but my family was in Hershy and Gettysburgh that week as well so had to run back and fourth each day. A 3 and 6 year old get roudy very quickly if they are not entertained! Again, it was great to meet a bunch of new friends in the hobby.

Watch out for the Merriman kids...they are thugs in disguise.....

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Brett and I were talking about the bad influence you had on the boys. They were perfectly normal until they met you Charley.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Awesome Motion car.......Glad it's back on the road again ..You're the caretaker now............ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

I've always thought Motion cars could be a bit "over-the-top" (Example: that famous Mexican Ralley Green '69 Camaro), but this black one trimmed in red is a beautiful example of a bad machine. Driving that car in 1969 had to be the equivalent of driving a Lamborghini or similar exotic today. It would take a VERY serious machine back then, short of an all drag car, to give this thing a run for it's money. I know people like to trash talk street racing, but that was the sole purpose of this car. I bet it was good to be the king with this car!

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Here is the original ad in Hemmings News in 1981. Thomas Comerro of Hemmings was very helpful in tracking this down. I thought everyone would find it a little amusing in how undescriptive this was.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

My uncle ended up buying it for $8500 since that was all he had! Luckily for him and me, it was not listed as a Baldwin Motion camaro.

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Neat! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

very cool!

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

in 1977, i paid 3,000 for my 69 z-28, and that was top dollar at the time. that was quite an investment in 1981!

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Any updates on the Camaro?

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

This truly is a very beautiful car

Re: Another B/M Camaro
 

Traded it in on a Honda Prius, better gas milage haha, just kidding.
Actually nothing happening, sitting in hibernation for the winter. Just waiting for spring to get it out and start taking it to shows. Got approval from the boss (wife as we all know) to take it to MCACN in the fall so I know that she cant say I didnt ask her in the future. Still looking for pics to see if i can verify that it came with cragar SS wheels, my pics go to 1981. Other than that, just trying to stay warm!

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Are those the Cragars that came from me Mike????

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Yes they are! thanks again for the help.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Car looks great with the Cragars.

Whats the story with them? Date coded 1969 maybe?

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Was trying to get the type of wheels that was supposed to have come with the car. My uncle said that this was the type that was on the car before he got it, but they were too far gone. Would be nice to have a picture to verify, but dont. But i always liked the cragars so at least a change of look. Got close, think the front are '71 and the back are maybe a year or two older. Would have been nice to get '69 dated, but probably a very hard thing to find. Still looking for a set of 8&quot; rear, got 7&quot; now. OK for now, but got to use what i can find! Had to get the car on the road sometime this year!

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Mike... Fantastic! Congrats buddy.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Mike,

I think I have the set of 15x8's you are looking for. The guy I got them from bought them for his 68 Camaro when new. I'm not sure how to date them. PM me if interested.

Thanks,

Jason

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

I steel wooled the back of one of the spokes and uncovered a 1964 date. Is that possible or is it just a copyright date?


Jason

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

The ones I have are dated on the steel wheel, inside where you can't see with a tire mounted. Let me see if I can post a picture.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

The wheels still have nice tires on them. I was hoping not to dismount them. I guess I would have to for shipping anyway though. I would guess somewhere in 68 since the original owner told me he bought them new in 68. Its funny, the 15x8s he bought in 68 look great but the 14x6s for the front he bought later and they are peeling and look like crap. Both wheels were exposed to the same conditions.


Jason

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Any new pics of the Camaro?

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

All I can say is WOW!!! and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Anything new??

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

m19gale / Mike,
In one of the pictures of your car it shows the placement of the Baldwin Chevy Dealership Decal. I have a 69 Z28 that came from Baldwin Chevy and my question pertain to the dealership decal. I don't know if you have the answer but you might be able to find out. Is the Baldwin Sticker Original and always located in that location for I have always wondered as to the placement of same from the dealership. Thanxs for posting the picture, which helped me out.

P.S. If you could please provide an overall picture of the rear-end I would appreciate. Because I'm only assuming the deal was placed on the driver side but not 100% sure from the picture.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

What ever became of the 15x8 Cragars?

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Would love to see some recent pics.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

I have not been the best with keeping up, especially with the cold weather everyone up north had...
I will post some new pics shortly, have to start getting it ready for spring.

But the sticker was on the drive side and will send pics.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Any new pics??? Can never get enough of this killer Camaro.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Mike asked me to post these photos as per your request.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

Thank you for posting those. That is one of the coolest cars of all time, thanks again.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

This car has been so nicely preserved, right down to the original trunk labels! I always thought it was cool how they used half of the 68 Impala trunk emblem for the tail panel and sometimes on the front fenders.

Re: Another BW Camaro
 

That has got to be one of the finest original examples of a Motion Camaro, and being a Phase III is beyond cool. Love that car.
