71 SS Motion

[x Baldwin Motion]

I would imagine all of the Baldwin Motion cars have/had dealer/GM invoice with VIN and the associated work documented by Joel,(how much of those docs still exist or are accessible is not for me to guess). It's the shop orders and later customer conversions that may be more difficult to document. In regards to the above mentioned Camaro, the seller was not able to identify any tell tale signs of MoTioN mods to the vehicle, has no documentation and told me he now doubts it is a real BM car.

The trim tag code for exterior color says 75B (75 Cranberry red B - Black vinyl top) I am not the most knowledgable BM guy, but I don't remember ever seeing a vinyl top BM car. Let me know if there are any, I like to exland my knowledge.

The trim tag may very well say that but that may have been the way it was originally but doesnt mean it stayed on. MOTION built a few 74 camaros that had vinyl tops.
It was all what the customer wanted at MOTION. If they had a car that was a vinyl top and the customer wanted it gone it was removed.
The car you are talking about most likely isnt a MOTION car.

The one and only '67 BM Chevelle has a vinyl top.

I was going to include that car also but I could not remember if it had vinyl before Joel rolled it, or it was put on as part of the repair.
