Re: Baldwin-Motion ?
The reason I asked the question originally is.
Last summer I was at a large swap meet in this area.(Southern Ontario)When I came upon a guy selling a early 70's Vette hood and a pair of big block rocker covers. The hood had the SS427 emblems and the covers had Motion emblems. He claimed they were off a car modified by Motion but not a Baldwin car, so he was restoring it to stock. It seems to me that this car would still have been more desirable as a Motion car then as a stock Corvette. Even though there was no tie to Baldwin. So who's crazier, Me or the the seller?

Re: Baldwin-Motion ?
Jeff: Don't know a lot about it really. I'd say mid 80's, some people I know in London had bought this Vette. 240 Z front end, orange and black guts if I remember right. Anyway, they could'nt find out how to doucument it for one reason or another, so they let it go.
I still think it was the real deal. I think it went Toronto way, but not sure. If it's that important, I could find out more info! But it would be limited. Peter

Re: Baldwin-Motion ?
Only body part I saw was the hood. It was weathered, and had lots of chips around the leading edge. The colour YELLOW.

Re: Baldwin-Motion ?
Well Jeff, the car is apparently still around. Talked to the old owner and he is going to see the car and talk to the guy again. Anything you can tell me to identify this car to see if it's one and the same. Partial vin...anything??????
