Default Re: 69 Baldwin Motion Help

I am not sure on the specifics, I wasn't around then. I do know that my father did in fact own one, besides his close life long friend talked about this car too. It was actually my father and this friend that went to the dealer to get this car. His friend was/is a car nut and he was the one who told my dad to get this specific car. He saw it in a magazine article. My dad didn't really know what the car was at that point, he was just interested in getting a big block camaro. My dad mentioned that the salesman wasn't to interested in getting this car, and he was actually trying to sell him a showroom camaro that had a 396 in it. He finally ended up getting it ordered, and took a while to get it. It was my grandmother that saved the money for him and gave him the money to buy himself a car, she didn't know exactly what he was buying. My dad told me he used to take it to some guy to have it tuned and the lash adjusted on it. The main reason he got rid of it was because he was 18/19 at the time he owned it and my grandmother forced him to sell it because she was certain he was going to kill himself. He told me the car was just a beast to drive, never ending power were his words. He also said the gas milage was bad even for back then, but it was an awsome car. I know there is going to be nay-sayers, and thats fine, but these are the facts, no need to make anything up.
