Hey, I recognize that smiling face and that resto shop. Could it be Deuce Heaven?

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

Sounds great! What pumps do we hear growling away just before it is fired up?

That was actually before polish. The vintage pics and all the docs on this car is amazing!!! From what the owner says, Joel said this car MAY have the most paper of all the cars. Glad to be able to part of a cool Motion car! ZLX 600hp survivor with lots of history.

&quot;Eww, that didn't seem so tuff&quot;!!!!!!! I've heard the voice before! Sounds GREAT!! (the engine, that is)

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

:worship:

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

Hey Mikey. Rather than writing out that you &quot;worship&quot; the Corvette, we have these things called emoticons. You should try them sometime! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img]

It wasn't as easy as it seemed. Actually reminded me a lot of when we fired the Roof deuce the 1st time after setting all those years except no old mouse nests flew out of the exhaust pipes on the Vette.
This is the first Motion hone a drive I've ever seen installed in a vette. Especially in a automatic application. Car has a 4.88 rear. Hone a drive splits it up to 3.42 for highway use.

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

I like those Hone-o-drives!!!

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

That air cleaner is the worst lol. Why no fly eye?

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

The original flyeye is still with the car. I sent Sam a picture of it.
Joe

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

Here is the fly-eye shot. Joe, some of the other photos (which are way-way cool) are too small. Pls retransmit in a larger format! Thanks...

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

Sorry Sam, I'm an old man just figured out how to attach pics to an email.lol This discussion may need to go in the Motion section. There is alot of as found and vintage pix as well as today photos of this beast. May need a little tutorial to resize some of the photos. Thanks for your help Sam and may need some more! The pix of the burnout and the original owner shooting the gun are simply timeless. Hopefully I can figure out how to resize.
Thanks,
Joe

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

You sound like an old man Joe! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]



<span style="font-style: italic">&quot;The pix of the burnout and the original owner shooting the gun are simply timeless.&quot;</span> You ain't kiddin' Joe. Resize them and I'll get them up here. In the mean time, check out what the magicians in Donahue have been up to!!!

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

Very cool. Is that installed by motion? That would b a one only option purchased.

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

Keep them coming!

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

Nice 1911 .45 and 1960's era, first generation M16 with the triangular fore end and no forward assist feature.

Priceless. Was he in a hospital bed in the M16 photo?

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

Steve - looks to me that he may have had a head cradle on for traction or some such thing. I remember reading he had been paralyzed in Vietnam.

And I thought it was a cool Viking/biker helmet.

Looks like one mean dude.

What was the whole story on the original owner?

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

That guy is F'ing crazy! Cool car! I would much rather be that guys friend than his rival.

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

Imagine that burn out pic with hand controls making a quick left. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img] Talk about freaking crazy!
Joe

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

So this car had hand controls?

Re: 1972 Baldwin Motion Corvette Phase III - SOLD
 

Is the original owner still living??
