I am glad to see that I am not alone when it comes to not posting the documation for one of these cars. I have shown many on here my documents for my '70 in person but will never post them online.
I appreciate others that will do the same thing. This blue car is a Motion modified car and not a Baldwin Chev sold but that still makes it a desirable car. Let's face it! There are not very many documented Motion cars Baldwin or or otherwise.
Reguardless of the new car heritage of these cars. If Joel had anything to do with them then they will have to gain in value in the coming years due to the rairity of them. You seldom see them offered for sale. I only wish that there was more info on the cars that Joel build. (Hint Joel? Hint Hint)
I can say that having been in the Used cars/bodyshop business, back not too long after Joel was going strong. It can be a overwhelming undertaking. Just answering the phone all day and talking to customers leaves you worn out. I am sure that Joel has to rely mostly on his work orders and invoices to document these cars from back then. I can tell you that when you reach 60 it sometimes gets hard to remember just what you did and when. I can't imagine how he can do it as he had to have two or three times the employes and volume of business that I did. I can see why he charges for his service to document these cars.
I know a lot of people hope that they have found one of his cars and he has to fend off a lot of people still today. They are just wanting to cash in on what he did back then. I only hope that more of his old conversions surface as there has to be a lot of them that he did back then. I have pic of three '68 vettes from a magazine article and yet none of them are known to exist today. (perhaps one is in Kevins collecton)
So I want to wish you good luck with the sale of this Blue car
and if I should win the lottery I will be calling you myself. Welcome to the forum and don't be a stranger. I don't know how you could stand to turn loose of one of these cars. I guess I am just selfish myself.
