Re: Baldwin Motion Documentation
there seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the number of baldwin/motion cars produced.the statements of the cars being too expensive when new is debatable.you could order a standard ss-396 car,be it nova,camaro or chevelle thru baldwin chevrolet and have motion add whatever you wanted while still covered under warranty.you got what your willing to spend. bottom line-all motion cars are not phase threes or even 427's.small block cars were even sold/modified thru b/m.the price of the basic car was listed in their order forms.all you had to do was pick what speed equipment you wanted.i remember a conversation with dave bean about the amount a cars being sold.he had stated that zoning was slow in alloting him cars and that he would have sold much more due to this fact.granted full bore phase three cars were expensive,look at what was ordered!but for every phase three made there were more standard b/m cars produced.and these are the cars that people think are just old hot-rods and not a piece of history.again look at the chevelle posted on e-bay last month.looked like nothing special except for the build sheet with baldwin chev. listed on it.
