That is true. I came close to buying a 69 Motion Corvette at Bloomington in 1992, it was a 400 horse blue coupe. It did have a window sticker and was quite a nice car. The window sticker was correct but is showed a dealer from North Carolina. After a bit of research it came out the car was sent to Motion when it was about six months old and I learned that only Baldwin Chevrolet cars are are considered legitimate. This sure was a nice, correct car with many of the modifications.

Tim, you're right when you say that a Vette or Car is only a legit B/M if it originated from Baldwin Chevrolet. But there is also value/significance of other Chev dealer cars modified by Motion Performance. Motion Performance also did other brands such as Pontiac, Olds, even Mopars; that didn't originate from Baldwin.
It is like "Dick Harrell" modifying Chevrolets from Gibb, Bill Allen, Branine, etc; they're all significant because "Harrell" did them and not entirely due to where the car originated from. Although Baldwin does enhance Motion cars value higher by its namesake; all other cars that Joel built at "Motion Performance" still have value/significance because "Motion" built them. |
