"New" '69 Motion Camaro's

[Charley Lillard]

MOTION IS BACK!
The ultimate performance car icon of the Supercar Sixties and Seventies, the Baldwin-Motion big-block Camaro, returns for a limited engagement.

Sarasota, Fla. 08-05-05 WDB-News-- Joel Rosen and Marty Schorr, the people responsible for the ground-pounding, take-no-prisoners 1967-1974 SS and Phase III 427 & 454 Chevrolet Camaro, Nova, Chevelle and Corvette supercars, are re-launching the Baldwin-Motion and Motion brands...and a new, cutting edge 1969 Camaro! The Launch Edition of the new Baldwin-Motion Camaro SuperCoupe, powered by a 600-plus horsepower fuel-injected, all-aluminum 540-cubic-inch Merlin/Motion big-block, will debut on November 1, 2005, at the Sony display in the SEMA Show.

Rosen and Schorr have formed an exclusive strategic business partnership with Joel Ehrenpreis and Larry Jaworske, MOTION, LLC, Sarasota, FL, to market build-to-order, one-off, limited-edition Baldwin-Motion supercars and develop a line of Motion-branded high-performance products.

“Larry Jaworske and I have put together the ‘best of the best’ to ensure that our new-generation Baldwin-Motion Camaros will respect the brand’s original heritage and integrity and have no peers, on the road or the show floor, here or abroad,” said Joel Ehrenpreis, President, MOTION, LLC.


“These coachbuilt cars, including the Launch Edition 540-SC to be premiered at SEMA, will appeal to the discriminating collector who truly understands and values heritage,performance and peerless quality,” added Ehrenpreis. Baldwin-Motion big-block Camaros set the standard for street performance and left their marks in the NHRA and AHRA drag racing record books during the peak of Detroit’s Ponycar/Supercar era
Today, legitimate examples are mega-valued and highly coveted by top Musclecar collectors. A restored and fully documented (late-production) 1969 Phase III 454 Camaro recently changed hands for $400,000. The Motion King Cobra race car, built by Joel Rosen, brought $525,000 at the Russo & Steele auction in Scottsdale, AZ last January!
“Our new Camaro taps into the heritage, horsepower and high energy of our original 1967-1969 Baldwin-Motion big-block Camaros, plus showcases highly sophisticated styling, modern technology and a proprietary powertrain, tubular chassis and four-wheel independent suspension. It is an eye-popping, high-velocity, air-conditioned road warrior that will deliver racetrack levels of performance,” said Joel Rosen.
“To turn my dream into reality, I’m working with top stylist/designer, Kris Horton, legendary engine builder, Bill Mitchell who built original Baldwin-Motion supercars at Motion Performance and built and drove our record-setting 1968 Motion Supercar Club A/MP Camaro race car, and Mike Staveski and Phil Somers at Time Machines, Inc. (Hudson, FL), one of the top Musclecar coachbuilders in the country.”
“Since each new Baldwin-Motion Camaro will be built to order, there will be a full menu of luxury and performance options for purchasers to choose from, including ‘boosted’ engines to 1,000 horsepower. Bragging rights are standard,” added Rosen.

“I’ve been closely involved with Mitchell and Rosen on a Motion spec. powertrain combination, engineered exclusively for our new 540-SC Camaro. It’s really great to be working with certified adrenaline junkies who share my passionate pursuit of total performance,” said Larry Jaworske, MOTION, LLC CEO. Construction is underway on the Launch Edition Baldwin-Motion

Camaro SuperCoupe that will be shown to the media and the public for the first time at the Sony display in the SEMA Show, Las Vegas, NV, (November 1-4, 2005). Full color renderings and specifications will be available by the end of August.
