I have read that Baldwin Auto Sales changed hands around 1972. If you read the ebay ad for the 1973 Motion Chevelle they do call it a "Baldwin Motion Chevelle" but reading the documentation provided in the ad I did not see anything about Baldwin. The docs show a correspondence between Motion Performance and the original owner over a period from Oct. 3 1972 to Mar 30 1973. There is also a letter dated Aug 13 1990 from Joel where he refers to it as a Baldwin/Motion Chevelle.

I hope you put a set of Cragars or aluminum slots on the car. Stock wheels never look good on a Motion car. I have never seen any in the old pics with stock wheels on them to boot-not to say there was never any.

Kevin;
Congrats, it certainly looks like a nice car. I remember the magazine article from MCR-Hot Dealer Dynamite, I think they also did another feature/drive bio on John Scanelli's (sp) Motion Camaro in a later issue?

69motion: If my memory serves me right, the Scanelli car was also up for sale within the last year or two. It's worth the research!

Whitetop-Dave,
Yes, that is the plan to change to Aluminum Slot mags. Never did care for the factory wheels on it. Glad you agree, as I don't ever recall a Baldwin Motion keeping its stock wheels either.

Marlin,
Yes, that car was on the front cover of MCR Oct/Nov 97 issue. John Scanelli of Norfolk Va, is in white pages at 757-627-5882. I don't know if it is the same John Scanelli though, I've never talked to him before. I am going to email you with another question about another car. Kevin.

So do we get to see some good pics of this car when you take possession? Sounds like perfect material for the 'Featured Cars' section. I first heard about the Motion Cars in the late '80's (when I was about 14) and have been obsessed ever since. Great score!

I hope your bidding on the Motion Camaro on EBAY, it's the one that used to be owned by John Scanelli in Norfolk, VA.

Well, looks like it ended up at $65K. Anyone know who the lucky guy is?

Just looking at the (0) after the username, I'm wondering if it REALLY did go to a new home.?? Hopefully it wasn't just a made up username to test the reserve.
