Since Joel said there weren't any Motion/COPO cars...what's the story behind this one...i seem to remember it discussed a while back???...

I was wondering the same thing. The picture on the last page shows the same car in the showroom badged as an SS.

Makes you wonder,

It seems that everyone restores there Motion Camaros with belly button TT's when they originally came with Cragers or Slots.IMO they look better as originally eqipt.

The car in the show is the same car shown above that had the white hockey stripe and different wheels. Note the vinyl top. The COPO looking car is a totally different car. Story on the triple black SS car was the owner (I think it's the one Joe Oldham ordered new that was stolen within a few weeks) wanted it without the hockey stripes but GM wouldn't deliver it that way so they were removed by Motion and the car looked so mean Joel wanted it in his auto show display.

one more of the COPO.. I think I have the story on it, I'll have to look.

More on the Motion/COPO.. The pics are from an article featuring the installation of the Hone OD. It sure looks like a COPO. 427/Auto, hone, 4:56 rear. It's an Auto on the Column car. Here is a pic of the interior with the hone lever mounted on the driver side.

Spoke w/ my buddy that tried to buy the car. He got a copy of the letter, dated 5/26/96, confirming that it's real. He was also told that Mecum bought it. Personally, I don't know if this is true or not. Guess we'll see....

OK - Here is the "rest of the story" on the car this post was started on:

I was the buyer on the white "Baldwin Motion" car , previously in Louisiana. I purchased it through a lead from Mecum, I was the buyer and not Mecum. I was provided a poor copy of the 5/24/1996 letter from "Joel Rosen". The seller was supposed to have the original with the car.

Yesterday, my associate went to pick up the car in person, with a bag of cash as was requested by the seller. The original letter was now not present and the seller(s) offered no guarantee that they could get it. This concerned me greatly as you would imagine.

At 10 pm last night, I decided to do my due diligence and told my associate to grab a hotel and tell the sellers we would finish the deal in the morning, because I wanted to research the origins of this letter.

Mr. Joel Rosen was kind enough to look at the copy I had via fax. Within minutes, Joel called me back and declared the letter was not only a forgery, but a bad one at that! He absolutely guaranteed the car is NOT real, nor is the letter. Needless to say, my money and empty trailer is heading back to Milwaukee as we speak.

SO, in an effort to save others from the money and trouble I have wasted on this fraudulent "Baldwin Motion Phase III", I am making this post. Please spread the word.

The car is a white 69 Camaro, VIN 124379L501461. And, to further document, the NICB report is BLANK. This car is a UFO!

Hope this helps. Joel Rosen has said he is happy to confirm any details if people are still skeptical.

Best regards,
