Does anyone know if there were any Baldwin Motion corvettes done in 1967?

The Astoria Chas - KO Motion car is a 67.

I know of '67 400 convert in Boston (now) that original was sent to MP because of electrical issues. It got a whole host of Motion items and the new owner has done a marvelous job preserving it. Very nice original unrestored convert. I can post photos if you'd like.

While this is not a '67 it does have a cool story. During the gas crunch, the owner wanted a "cool" car to drive but he also needed to save some money. Story has it, he sent LT-1 powered Corvette back to Motion and instead of getting the "Z30" LT-1 swap he did the reverse. Joel and the gang removed the solid lifters, cam and some other go-fast-items, and replaced them with all hydraulic items. In addition, some body work was done, like a top surround.

Here are some of the '67 shots. I have to check the other computer for body shots, buts its a green/white/white '67 400hp 4spd.

and for anyone who was a non-believer...

Cool thread!.
Aside from the KO Motion car, I've always thought of any Motion cars being '68 and ups..

Love that Rat Fink Motion sticker!!!
Are these available repop?.

Neat note on the docs...use only Sunoco 260!.
