Default Re: 73 Baldwin Motion Phase III SS 427 Chevelle

I was thinking 1971 was the final year of Baldwin-Motion cars and the 1972 model years were just Motion cars.

Charlie, somehow this sounds backwards. I would prefer to say, prior to 72(73?), most MOTION cars built by Joel Rosen had sales orders through Baldwin Chevrolet; but 99.9% of the cars Baldwin Chevrolet sold, were "just" ordinary Baldwin cars.

To answer the other Charleys comment: "Is there a NICB on this car"? No, and I haven't tried to obtain one. Through the letters of correspondence and Motion invoices, this was a new car order; built by MOTION. Specifically, it was NOT a new car sent to MOTION by an outside customer/dealer for conversion.

I keep saying a Harrell car is significant/valuable by Harrell's handiwork; not by which Dealer Harrell obtained the car from. I just realize myself, as a collector that is willing to pay out the money for them, the primary significance/value of a Motion Car is through Joel and Motion Performance.

As I own many Baldwin sold MOTION cars, I am not trying to dis-credit Baldwin Chevrolet, it is just the thought process of Motion Cars is backwards by many. A funny thought, as I hope some of you aren't suggesting: "why build a 2002 Motion Camaro as Baldwin is closed"?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
