Baldwin Motion clones

I see and respect how serious you guys and gals on here are about your passions, just wanted to know if you all are horribly offended by clones? I enjoy reading all the post and have learned an awful lot. Thanks for any input, good or bad.

I have two clones! A BM clone 1970 Nova and a 69 Camaro BM clone. I have gotten a lot of rave reviews. I would never try to pass them off as real, but really cool looking! I am just trying to enjoy the hobby. I had quite a few people in my area ask me if my Nova was a real BM. I told them that if it was, I would be in a house or a mansion.

I've got a 69 chevelle SS427 phase III clone. I would never try and pass mine off either. As a matter of fact, I used a 6 cyl car for my donor so that if I ever sold the car the next owner could not try to pass it off. I have went to great lengths to make mine as close to the real deal as possible. Of course I have a distinct advantage in that my uncle owned one and I grew up around it. Most of my parts came from him after he passed away. His car was not a candidate for restoration sadly. I wish I could have restored his car, rather than use a donor to bring it back to life. I guess you could say I have a bionic clone.

I'm not a supercar owner, but I think a nicely done clone is a great addition to any car show or cruise night. Many of us can't afford the high dollar "real deal" cars anyway.

Yeah, what he said.

Any pix of your uncle's BM Chevelle!

I think Jed should make his '70 50 50 Nova into a Yenko Deuce clone!

I love the look of a stinger hood and a MOTION paint scheme as long as it is meant to compliment and not deceive.

[Nova Jed]

Who is going to supply the CBW 12 bolt, F41, and the white walls? Oh, and don't forget the Yenko Dixco hood tach! You just want to see another Gobi Deuce out there! LOL I'll race you at the Grove....

In no way shape or form is meant to deceive! I did it because I never saw one. I wanted to have a rolling (ehem, I mean tire burning) representation of a very rare Nova. I think it might have just as much pull as a BB??? Thanks for the compliment. Wanna go for a spin?
