BALDWIN MOTION CORVETTE VINS?

[DandyDon]

I am looking at a 1971 Corvette that is thought to be a B/M car. It stared life as a real LS6 car and has most of the major Motion mods: Motion hood, flared fenders,old style Ansen Sprints, 4:56 rear with Motion bars, Hone-O-Drive, M22 with Hurst Super Shifter,Phase 3 CD, 3 barrel Holley,Fly Eye air cleaner, serious cam. The car does NOT have a sloped rear window or exposed headlights with covers.
It has original pop up headlights and a vacum tank to raise
them due to the wild cam profile
The seller claims the original owner did not want these items.
I'm guessing this is a customer car that may have beem modified by Motion Performance or a "catalog car" where key items were purchased from Motion.
Does anyone on this forum have a list of actual B/M Corvette VINs?
I have heard dealing with Joel Rosen is a tough experience.
Poor memory plus poor records have equated to clone cars being dubbed authentic and vice versa.
Any tips?

Joel is the only person who verifies BM cars... you will have to pay the money ($1500) to get it verified...

I've spoken to Joel over the phone a few times & was alway's talkative,informative & very nice to me.Call him, present him with what you have & ask for his address & send whatever money he asks for & all the info you have.Be patient & don't bug him & every other day & he will get back to you! Good Luck!

How about posting some photos of what you have?

hey I thought I posted to this, check the interior, tank sheet would be a huge help, before you call Joel have ALL your ducks in a row, the more docs that you have the better for Joel. I owned a real car (moray GT) he still made me jump through lots of hoops. In a way it was a good thing because I learned ALOT, much more than you would ever get out of a magazine. Sounds like a great car.

Yea... I talked to Joel one time about a 68 Camaro... gave him some details and he told me that it was definatley not one of his cars... no charge we just talked cars for a bit...

I have never heard anything about Joel having a poor memory and from the anecdotal evidence it seems like he has all of the paperwork required to prove which cars were the ones built by his shop. Smart man!!

Best of luck with the Vette!
