1966 Baldwin Chevelle Motion??

[JoeG]

Charlie Masons '67 427 Chevelle should be the first one sold thru Baldwin--,but Motion was still a performance shop before Baldwin ,in BED/STY--(Pitkin ave. I think)--Could be a early Motion conversion ---if he has the docs.

Please let me clarify a point, the original invoice does not show it to be a 427 engine. The engine was installed at the dealer at the time of delivery. I cannot find anything either on the car or the paperwork that says Motion. What should I be looking for? Thanks

It sounds like a Magnificent Find.
I don't hear Motion mentioned anywhere in the Paperwork,it was ordered new from Baldwin Chevrolet,then a 427 transplant done at Baldwin Chevrolet it sounds like.Even if thats the case,I would leave that 427 engine in that Chevelle,especially with the docs to substantiate it.
Just out of Curiosity,do you know where the Original 396 Engine it was born with is at today,seeing as you said it was sold to another later on?
What paint color/interior color and options are on this Car when delivered new,such as tach.,Trans & rear ratio,does it have a Cowl Plen.etc.?
Can you post some Pictures for us..WELCOME!

I only have the doc showing that the engine was sold back in 1966. No idea where that individual is nor the engine.

The car is Marina Blue with blue interior, 4 speed but I am not sure of the ratio. Still learning about the car. It has a factory tach that reads up to 7000 RPM, another thing I have noticed in my research is that some tachs go to 6000 and some 7000. Any ideas why?

The engine appears to have been dressed up with valve covers and breather and a few extras and is not in the original from factory appearance. The hood has the lovers but is not cowl induction. Wheels and tires are not original.

The value or rarity is the 427 installed by Baldwin. Who cares about the 396?
