Default Re: 1966 Baldwin Chevelle Motion??

I am sure that you will get lots of answers to this but I want to make one point. You say put the 396 back in it. That woudld be great only if you still have the actual 396 motor that came out it! Otherwise I think the value of it is higher with the 427 in it.

It may not be a "Motion" built car but it is documented and that is worth a lot in the collector car world. some day there will be a higher value on Survior unrestorded cars than frame offs.

Only you, can be the judge of what condition it actually is in. Sounds like you have a neat piece of history there. Give it a good home.

Good Luck which ever way you go....

I don't believe there are any Baldwin Motion cars prior to 1967, but if you have the paperwork you described, you can post it and go from there.

Here's a photo from Marty Schorr's 1982 book "Chevrolet, The Performance Years." It is a period photo of a Motion-prepped '66 Chevelle SS.

The photo caption states:

"Motion Performance built a limited run of both 396 and 427 solid-lifter, four-speed '66 Chevelle SS models with prototype Chevrolet cowl induction plumbing as used on NASCAR cars."
