Default 1967 Baldwin Motion Camaro.

Did anyone who was at Barrett Jackson see the driver quality 67 Baldwin Motion Phase III black Camaro? When I looked at the car it was in the post sale lot with a price of $69,995.00 on the window. Many things appeared correct on the car and some didnt. The real kicker was the letter on the dash that verified the car for what it was by Joel Rosen, if my memory serves me correctly it stated "after doing extensive research on this car and from examining the many documents provided to me from former owners I am satisfied that this is indeed a 1967 Baldwin Motion Phase III Camaro which makes it a very rare car due to the limited amount produced in 1967, Joel Rosen" So whats the story, anyone see this car or know of it? If it is real how come it is priced $100,000 to cheap, and why has no one bought it? Charlie?

I saw this car about 2 weeks ago for sale at $68k and was told by others that the car is suspect and was originally a small block car and nicb and previous owners say it was never close to motion.. the letter is a copy of one from another car.. I thought it sounded real nice though, would be a great driver to have fun with..

I believe that is the car that had two letters. One that it was and one that it wasn't...Cool car though.

Charley,
I didnt see you at the auction, saw Bill wandering around...the very first thing I drooled over that was there was the Yale bikes.....I got some good pics to prove it. If you need any help with your new piece of motorcycle history let me know as I believe I have some printed literature and general history on these bikes, no doubt yours in particular. I have a friend that offered the seller more for those bikes then what they sold for a few months back, if you ever get tired dusting it let me know and I should be able to set you up with a buyer for profit.

Sounds like it was a car dressed for auction as the "Motion" emblems were not used in 67. Probably not a correct resto or the car was later sent to motion for work.

not sure if it is the same car but there has been a black 67 Camaro dressed like a Motion car bounceing around the country for sale at diffent locations. The car I am thinking of has a lot of issues.

Are you talking about this car? This one was on eBay over a year ago. I think it's from Texas.

Hard to tell from one photo, the one I looked at had vintage magnesium 5 spokes that to a degree became a benchmark in the industry. The car I looked at had the correct Motion emblems on the rear portion of the front fenders just above the cross flags and the body line. A third emblem was dead center on the rear spoiler, only visible from behind. The valve covers each had a emblem, "Motion". The car in your photo seems to have a blue interior while the other was black, also the baffled type side pipes were on the car for sale. I am not positive but I think the scoop on the hood was red. Things that cant be seen in your photo is the car had frame connectors added, as well as bolt on traction bars which was odd since the rear axle housing still had the bracket welded in place for a passenger side traction bar. It had mono leaf springs, did Motion add muti-leaf? The hood had the correct underside structure as an original, not at all similar to the current reproductions available. Also had solid motor mounts and the driver side mount was taller. Had a correct BB heater box, which it and anything else discussed here could have been added at anytime. The hood pins seemed correct and had the right placement. Overall, everthing I mentioned here could have been added to the car in the photo, the interior color change seems like it would have been a major change with no benefit as far as proving the car to be a Motion. The car also had the correct hood springs for a lightweight glass hood. Charlie, I am sure you noticed the letter contained the VIN, but that also could have been nothing more then some trick work with a copy machine. Short of contacting Joel for a re-verification I dont see a way to decide the cars pedigree either way. The thing that lends non-credibility to the car is why priced so far under current market for a true "Baldwin Motion" car, which would also increase the desirability and value over a "Motion" conversion from another dealer or private individual. If it is real we all missed the boat. Anyone know an approximate number of 67 Phase Three cars to exist with documentation?

Mo:

I believe this is the car you are interested in:

67 Baldwin Motion at Auburn


Cool car, even if it is a fake, if you could pick it up for say south of $40,000 and drive the snot out of it...
