'69 B/M white RS Camaro

[csx289]

OK - Here is the "rest of the story" on the car this post was started on:

I was the buyer on the white "Baldwin Motion" car , previously in Louisiana. I purchased it through a lead from Mecum, I was the buyer and not Mecum. I was provided a poor copy of the 5/24/1996 letter from "Joel Rosen". The seller was supposed to have the original with the car.

Yesterday, my associate went to pick up the car in person, with a bag of cash as was requested by the seller. The original letter was now not present and the seller(s) offered no guarantee that they could get it. This concerned me greatly as you would imagine.

At 10 pm last night, I decided to do my due diligence and told my associate to grab a hotel and tell the sellers we would finish the deal in the morning, because I wanted to research the origins of this letter.

Mr. Joel Rosen was kind enough to look at the copy I had via fax. Within minutes, Joel called me back and declared the letter was not only a forgery, but a bad one at that! He absolutely guaranteed the car is NOT real, nor is the letter. Needless to say, my money and empty trailer is heading back to Milwaukee as we speak.

SO, in an effort to save others from the money and trouble I have wasted on this fraudulent "Baldwin Motion Phase III", I am making this post. Please spread the word.

The car is a white 69 Camaro, VIN 124379L501461. And, to further document, the NICB report is BLANK. This car is a UFO!

Hope this helps. Joel Rosen has said he is happy to confirm any details if people are still skeptical.

Best regards,

Colin, thanks for posting that. My friend's relieved that he didn't spend that kind of $$ on a fake.

Colin, glad to hear you did not get burned on the car. One red flag was it being a LOS car which would certainly decrease the possibility of it being sold new in Long Island.

Thanks for sharing with everyone the information, so someone else does not get taken.

Wasn't there a Camaro bought at auction a few years ago that was supposed to be a Motion car, it had a letter from Joel and turned out to be a fake (the letter and the car). For some reason I thought the car was a white RS car. It was posted here a few years and I believe a member bought it and did return it and get a refund. Could this be the same car?

No that car was a 1967 Camaro and the NICB report showed it came from the Midwest and not Baldwin Chev. and I seem to recall that discussions with the original owner proved it was a 307 car originally. It was discussed on this site way back. you might find the thread with a search, but it was several years ago.

Was that the car that sold at Auburn, was rejected, then showed up at Barrett Jackson and sold in the on-site car lot there? Maybe 2 years ago?
