Re: 70 Baldwin Motion Chevelle
The only other B/M Chevelle from that generation I've seen in print was a '71 in Hpcars magazine. It was dark brown, aluminum slots and side pipes.
Joe C. I going to disrepectfully disagree on your comment about the cars loosing their heritage and people just think it is another old hot rod. Most of these cars sold for over $10,000. The original owners would not let them go for $2000( or whatever prevailing peice was at that time). Think of it in these terms. If you bought a $65K Roush modified 2002 Mustang would you sell it as a regular modified Mustang 6 years from now for $12k Why are there not more of these cars restored? I still think Joels figures were inflated. I think there was only a handful of each car made. maybe 10-15 '69' Camaros, 12-15 '70 on up Camaros and 2-3 of each of the other type cars. Why is it that most other rare cars have been acounted for but not the B/M's. For ex. All 6 '66 Shelby convertibles etc. I think Joel was more interested in selling parts at 100-200% markup than selling cars. The cars were just a marketing tool to sell parts and services.
