1970 Baldwin Motion Nova

[gr8grl7]

Some other reasons I think this is a Baldwin car is because it originated in New York, and when the previous owner talked to Joel about it, Joel asked if it was for sale. the car is a factory SS 396, and still has the 396 in it, numbers matching. I don't know If I have the one that "slipped through the cracks" or if I have just a regular SS. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

My grandfather use to tell me "He knew a little something about everything" ------ Smart man,---unfortunately he's no longer with us,SOOOOOOO , I'll give it a shot----
[ 1 ]----solid documentation
[ 2 ]---- pictures [ entire car ]
[ 3 ]----try to find out what the owner & Joel Rosen
talked about
[ 4 ]---- as COPO said, any of these parts
could be installed or ordered thru the
mail
[ 5 ]----LAST --- pay fee for verification

Of course this entire conversation is as always - IN MY OPINION- and should not be tried at home. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Seriously though, I[ maybe someone else can ] can't tell you what you want/need to hear-----It is a Motion Car---, with the limited information you provided. : [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Well, i talked to Joel today, With the information I have and what my fiance's dad told me (he is a man with a plethora of information on classic automobiles) I am going to take some pictures and send in the money and VIN to Joel. What the hell... right. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Well, if this is the only way to be sure of verification, smart choice--I'M sure you could have thought of better ways to spend $1500, but better to be sure now, than to sink more money into the car under the ASSUMPTION, that it is possibly a B/M-MOTION car.---- NOT TO SAY THAT IT'S NOT A GREAT CAR TO RESTORE ANYWAY!!!! --IMO.--Good Luck--I for one would like to see pictures[ if possible] no matter what the outcome.Like COPO said--you never know.

By the way PLETHORA is as good as it gets. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[COPO]

You mentioned the car has a matching # 396 in it now. Are you saying the car's partial VIN is stamped in the 396 block? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

[JoeG]

You know COPO , a light-bulb just went on when you mentioned matching numbers on the block & vin plate. In the Motion web site it is mentioned , there was only one PhaseIII L-78 built----MAD MIKE said supposedly it was a 1970.I have a '69 PhaseIII L-78 B/M Chevelle. Now unless Mike got the dates mixed up??? TWO--ONE??? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Joe, how about some pics of your Chevelle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[gr8grl7]

Yes

[gr8grl7]

I mean yes, the numbers match the block.
I'll try to post the pictures as soon as possible, it needs total restoration though. The previous owner had all sorts of parts for it. I have new bumbers, new fenders, a rebuilt posi rear end, and all of the little things that make restoration a pain in the ass when your trying to find things.

Even if it's not a Baldwin, it's still as SS and I will restore it and drive it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]
