New member & chasing Motion info

[AussieVette]

Just signed up after lurking through the posts here for a week or so. I don't have one of these rare Supercars, but do drive a nice original '69 Stingray.

Don't think I'll be making too many posts in here as I don't know enough to contribute, but hopefully over time I'll learn more about these cars from the info that you all post in.

I am very keen to learn more about the Baldwin Motion Corvettes, so if anyone can point me in the right direction with useful links or pictures etc. I'd be most appreciated.

Joel used to run a site, if you chase through the derivitives of Balwin Motion you might find it. Not really informative. Don't know of any real motion sights, don't know why. If there is can someone correct me and put up a link. Your best bet is the old medium of paper. Joels cars were exstensivley covered by Marty Schorr in the old Speed and Supercar , Hot Cars and Hi-Performance Cars magazines, in the late 60's and early 70's and Vette magazines did some very good pieces during the late 80's early 90's.
Marty Schorr also did a Chevrolet Book in the 70's which has some outstanding stuff.
Bite the bullet and hop onto ebay, be patient and you will pick em up. Got a Phase 111 Corvette on the cover of Speed and Supercar for $3.99 last month, paid $10.50 for it the month before.
If you have any other queries please email me

The Baldwin-Motion site (www.baldwinmotion.com) has been down for a while now. Although, Joel had NOTHING to do with it. He did use to occasionally check out the 2nd Gen. Camaro site, but I haven't checked it in quite some time, so I don't if he still checks. He DOES have a site for his model planes/boats, though.

Like GMH said, your best bet is to check out books and magazines, but we all know that often times the info in them is incorrect...GOOD LUCK !

Thanks for the info guys. I did come across the current site including model planes etc (http://www.motionperformance.com).

I have started to mass up a decent collection of pictures from web sites, and scanned pics from books, magazines and catalogues from various sources on the web.

Who knows I might have to get around to putting everything I have in one place as a bit of a resource...

These might still be available in back issue: "VETTE";April 92, Sept. 90, May 84, May 95(my car),; "CORVETTE FEVER";June 93, March 98, Sept. 99,; "CORVETTE Quarterly" sring 92.
If you have specific questions about the 69 Phase III GT, I can try to answer them for you. If your looking for production figure's you'll probably be disappointed. I don't think anyone know's for sure.

Darryl:

Good to hear from you again! How is everything down south in LA? Maybe you can help shed some light on this Corvette for Sheridan!

I also have a question for you: how do you like the 3 barrel carb on your 'Vette? How does it compare (performance and driveablity wise) to a regular 4 barrel? It seems to me that it is generally not accepted as a "mainstream" carb, although I have heard they work really well, but you don't see that many of them...kind of like the 1 barrel(?) "Predator" carbs of today!
