The paperwork that he has is a generic invoice with Baldwin Chevrolet stamped at the top. Not like the usual pre- printed Baldwin invoices. It’s dated in January of 1970 - 11 months after the 02B build date on the TT. There is no VIn on the invoice. He doesn’t have any Motion paperwork other then a Motion receipt from 1986 when he went there and bought some accessories. He says that the Motion” installed short block is in the car, but the assembly date is December of 1968 (13 months before the date on the Baldwin paper). Also, the engine code on the short block is for a full size L72 car. Not a CE block. Owner says someone stole the top end of the motor & left the short block. Ugh!

Ok so just another wild goose chase. That sucks but you know the facts,so that's good.

do you know if the car has the rear spring perch welded and braced? it is shown in the original article with the welded and braced rear.

The car also had 1969 Corvette side pipes, so should have the holes in the rocker panels.

Not many Motion Camaros had the 1969 Corvette side pipes.
