Default BM '81 Vette on E-Bay ??

Here is a Motion Converted '81 Corvette listed on E-Bay

Vehicle Description

1981 Baldwin Motion Conversion Corvette Project Car, This auction is for a 1981 custom Corvette Coupe project car. Joel Rosen of Motion Performance who started building super cars in 1966 created it, and by 1968 was the #2 producer of specialty performance vehicles, behind the Ford owned and run Shelby GT Mustang operation. I have owned this car for the last six years. The Corvette exterior was recently restored. 2 months prior to the Fire. This car is rebuild able and a great way to obtain a Corvette for personnel use that would otherwise be unobtainable. The engine is a 350 Cu in. The car has an automatic transmission with a shift kit. New powder coat hooker headers with new stainless steel exhaust & mufflers, Power windows, Power Door Locks, Rear Window Defogger, Power steering, Power brakes, Tilt –Tele steering column, air conditioning, Grey/Leather Interior, Sport Mirrors, AM_FM Stereo Radio. Gotti racing wheels the car has a clear title without liens. I have spoken to Joel who has since retired to FLA on the phone and he was willing to document the car for a nominal fee.

I have many more photos of before during and after the restoration that I will email you.



The Corvette is sold “as is” without any warrantee specified or implied. Please e-mail me with questions before you bid. If you are not sure about something, please ask!

The remainder is due within 5 days of auction end. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping of this vehicle. If you wish to have it shipped using a service, I will gladly cooperate. You can locate shippers by doing a search for `auto shippers`. Please do not bid unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to eBay, and negative feedback will be posted.

I emailed the owner and here is his explanation about the car.
----------------------------------------------------------
Larry,

Yes according to a telephone conversation W/Joel the Car was converted by the Motion shop. the Information he gave me over the telephone was... He Built the car for a friend of his son, Who help around the shop and go to cars shows with Joel.
As far as paperwork goes.. all I have is a copy of the Build sheet & Window sicker that I was able to get from the corvette museuem.. I never had intentions of selling the car.. So sending money to joel to obtain paperwork was not a high priority for me.. It was always when tax money comes or have some extra money. Then we will get paperwork.. My priorty was getting the car to look and perform well.

Any other help I can be please ask

Not sure how Baldwin came into play on this car. Sounds like a wana-be to me. I yield the floor to others now...
