Baldwin Auto Sales closed in the summer of 1973

I believe the current owner is RK.

Thanks for the info Rich P. When was your car built. Was it an early 73? I thought Baldwin closed too early to sell 73 model year cars,but I never really looked into it. I know of a Motion built 73 Camaro that has a 4th week of November 1972 based on the body stampings being done in weeks 42 and 43,but I always thought it was probably a Motion only car not a Baldwin car. I never looked into it since the car is pretty hacked up as a race car now,and no Baldwin cars get no where near the money of a new car conversion.

I meant Non Baldwin cars. I went to look at a 72 Camaro that was done ito a phase 3 in 1976,the car was for sale for $5500 in 1991 and the owner couldnt sell it. It was a real clean survivor,and needed paint,and the engine was just freshened. With all the paperwork. The car was a no sell at $5,500 and the last I head the owner cut the car up for parts. A fully documented Motion Phase 3 car cut up for parts in the early 90's because nobody felt it was worth anything. I wish I had bought it. In the late 80's the car in this post had already fetched over 10 times that much,but somehow the cars that were converted later on never really gained in value.

I agree with you Rich S! I never could understand why a car that was taken over to Motion after days or months would equal anything close to a delivered Baldwin and taken over to Motion, day one car. I have never worked a car like that because I dont find the value as the owners do and get the price they are wanting. Dont get me wrong it was SUPER cool that guys took cars over there and had a monster motor put in their cars.
Car is coming out of a private collection that would make any collector proud of this highly documented DAY1 Baldwin Motion Camaro that hasnt seen a show in over 10yrs. Thx
