B/M Phase III

The car isn't listed on the "chandlerwheels" website for the Vintage Auto Museum as part of their current musclecar inventory. I was wondering if the car was sold.

The current owner has turned down 250 for it.

That is the Mexican Motion Camaro. Joel R told me when they ordered it they also ordered a 69 427 Motion Chevelle. Joel was told to put a trailer hitch on the back of the Chevelle and a tow bar setup on the front of the Camaro. Then a Mexican guy came in to pick them up and drove the Chevelle away with the Camaro in tow. I think they were brought to the dock and sent to Mexico by ship.

Is this the car???

That looks like it. I think it had alu slot wheels on it when it left Motion.

O.K. Mark, where is that picture from? Ashtabula?

Wasn't the last time those two cars were together when Ottis had them, in his collection?

If the car had aluminum slots on it when it was delivered new from Motion then why would someone restore it otherwise?
Their is nothing wrong with ralleys for a stock appearing/concourse car but the Baldwin/Motion cars were day 2 to the extreme. It would be "incorrect" for a day 2 car to have ralleys IMO.

Awesome car none the less!!

Nice picture Mark. Thanks for the post. That has to be one of the baddest Camaros ever built. I've read earlier posts on the header to sidepipe connections but was wondering if there were any photos out there showing this.

There are a couple of articles in CARS magazine showing the header to sidepipe connection on Motion cars. The two methods were to tap the header on the side of the collector with the end of the collector capped with a plate. This would make it easy to uncap the headers at the track. The other method was to connect a custom "S" pipe from the end of the collector to the side pipe. Neither method was terribly efficient flow wise, but the side exhaust sure looks and sounds good.
