You know, what did that New Generation Baldwin-Motion Camaro sell for at B-J a few years ago? I wanna say it was $400K-$600K. That's a narrow market that caters only to the wealthy. How about a version for around $100K? That would immensely increase your market of "eligible" people. I'm visualizing the gathering up of a fleet of decent, base coupe 1969 Camaros for maybe $20-25,000 a piece, a Bill Mitchell Hardcore Crate 540-572 CID Engine (because of his past history with Joel Rosen and Motion), a new Autogear Super Muncie M-22 Rockcrusher or Tremec TKO 600 5-speed, and a new Moser or Strange 12-Bolt. That's the basics for less than $50,000 and add around another $50,000 for the small details, paint and assembly. Keep these things basic also and DON'T offer any other options to exotic. Now I know that the price tag of roughly $100,000 is still a lot of money to most people, but just look at that price as falling between a new Z06 Corvette and a new ZR-1 Corvette and all of a sudden, it doesn't seem so bad. After all, this would be the opportunity for many to buy a brand new 1969 Rat-motored Camaro again if you couldn't afford it then or maybe wasn't even alive yet! You christen this car the "Baldwin-Motion Heritage Edition" or maybe even the "Baldwin-Motion Continuation Series" and I just can't help but think you have a winner on your hands! Oh yeah, I just realized, with all those cubic-inches and superior-flowing aluminum heads, you can offer this car with a guarantee of a 10.50 time slip or faster! That's within reason. Heck, I think I've talked myself into one!
