Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

more photos, first owner and dealer for Motion performance Mr.÷rvar Sigursson,this photo was taken for newspaper 1979

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

Motion had a list of ten "Overseas Dealers". One was listed as "O. Sigardson Reykjavik, Iceid." Others were in Iran, Kuwait, and Hilo, Hawaii.

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

I have been tracking down some of the Motion built cars of the 70s and 80s and have purchased two from Joel. They are "his and her" Motion cars used in Motion catologs and as show cars and as personel transportation. One is a 1989 Mustang GT convertiable which I think is the last car Joel Built. He did some 3rd Gen big block Camaros, a 4 door Corvette show car, some supercharged and some turbo and others. Here is a web page of the Motion Mustang GT http://hometown.aol.com/hotjob57679/page1.html
I may be selling this car if anyone is interested email me
Joel was building cars and also bought back some of his old cars and restored them then sold them again. I believe one collector bought 3 Motion Corvettes that Joel found and restored.

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

Hmmmm... I live in Hilo, Hawaii. Any particlular cars I should be looking for.

Forget the cars.....get to the beach !!!!

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Don't worry about that I get plenty of sun. But Hilo also gets more rain than anywhere else in the US. I need something to do on those gloomy days. What's better than going through some old sugar fields looking for cars!

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

Thanks Harry!! Car is in US safely now! Heading to IA. It was sent to Iceland by airplane in Jan. of 1971, so I decided to bring it back the same way. Thanks to the previous owners for cooperating with pics, documentation, and original parts that were gathered to be installed on car once again. Such as original headers, sidepipes, ladder bars, ansen wheels, etc. The largest paper in Iceland actually ran a story on this transaction. The story was labeled " Motion camaro going back to USA." The original owner e-mailed me this statement: This is more than just a motion car, it is a large initiating part of Icelands history of racing culture." I have some nice vintage photos of car with Joel Rosen and crew prepping and racing this car. Harry even sent me an Iceland motion jacket. Joel and Orvar were and still are close friends, and Joel visited Iceland several times. Orvar (former motion dealer in Iceland) is also going to attend this years reunion. I plan to have the car there with some poster size vintage photos. Again, thanks to the 3 previous owners!

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

Nice car! What year was it built?
I know Motion Performance concentrated on overseas sales after the trouble with US Gov. in 1974.

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

Will post more info. as I want to be sure it is accurate. I believe conversion was around 77. I could be wrong. It does retain all of the motion drivetrain, and components. It was repainted in Sept. of 2002 and was a no hit rust free car.

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

Awesome! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Post some more pics for us to drool over if you can. Love the Motion cars. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hey Dave, I wondered why you charged me two grand$ for that last volleyball net; cuz now you're flying cars in by airplane. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Anyway, looks and sounds like a really cool car! But it's for the wife this time, right? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Baldwin/Motion

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img] I hope she lets me drive it. Love ya honey if your looking. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] Who's your daddy?

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

Thanks guys! Hey Rob, I think I am close to posting a pic right! Only took about 3 years! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

Dave
I hope your going to retro back the car and put back on the Ansens and side pipes etc?

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

Dave, the original parts that were taken off, will be reinstalled immediately. Not much needs done at all. The ansens were on it before it left Iceland. Would not do it any other way! I love the "day 2" look! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

Dave
An NOS set of chrome Hooker BB '70-'81 camaro headers & side pipes were on ebay last year and only went for $750. If I knew they were only going to go for that much I'd bought them. Wonder if Hooker will rerelease them?

Re: Baldwin/Motion
 

The 2nd owner kept the original headers and sidepipes. They will be in the car when I get it. But not for long!
