"New" '69 Motion Camaro's

[COPO]

Most of the BM cars were not quite that much, although a few did get into the five figures but were mainly corvettes. My '67 BM SS 427 Chevelle was $5,500. The '71 BM Phase III Camaro I had was around $7300. Your point is correct, however, that a loaded up Motion car was expensive at the time compared to a stock car. Performance costs money then and now.

Actually,I dont doubt you are right,particualrly about the earler cars.I know that in an article a few years back which featured the red with white stripes 70 phase 3 car which I belive was in the Robson collection at one time,it mentioned that the cost of the car new exceeded $10,000 back in 1970 which was more then a new Ferrari at the time.I have a copy of the invioce from a 72 Motion built Camaro that was converted in 1976,and that job cost $10,600.That car had 4.10 gears put in the stock 10 bolt,along with the suspention package,a shift kit and super holeshot convertor in the stock trans and an LS6 crate motor with a cam,intake and carb kit.The car did have a set of wild wheel flares and wide tires all around which I am sure contributed to the cost of the bodywork,but it was still a big chunk for a car that was already owned.

The red w/white striped car was actually a '71 Phase III Camaro that I owned a couple of years ago. It was in 7 or 8 magazines. Milt never owned it, and it is now in Idaho. The car was bought new by a dentist from PA and was about $7300. I might still have a copy of the invoice somewhere. Cool car and I wish that I had kept it, but sold it to buy my 69 BM Phase III Camaro. The bottom line though, you are correct, they were expensive then and will be now.

Just wondering how exactly they're going to make "Baldwin Motion " Camaros? I don't mean to split hairs, but the debate over BM -v- Motion Modified cars is always a dandy.

Where are these Baldwin cars going to come from?

Sorry if I sound like a downer, because I bet these cars will be cool as hell. They ought to build them using the repro bodies or using the clients cars, IMHO.

I have never weighed in on this subject, but honestly who cares WHERE the car came from?? IMO the cool part of the any supercar is what was done to the car by the respective company that did the modification. Anything that Joel has ever touched or that he intends to touch will be highly collectible and worth lots of $$. After all, there is only ONE Joel Rosen.
