It was a factory sidepipe car from the factory. However,it received the Hooker sidepipes as a performance upgrade. Also the car was a stick car.

John,
I knew Bob was the middleman, and I know that several people looked the car over. No one would have played games with the seller if they'd known the selling dealer was Baldwin & only you seem to have this info.
I'll admit to hearing different senarios about it being real & not real. The proof is surely in the documentation that you got from Joel and the claim that it was actually delivered to Baldwin Chev. As I mentioned elsewhere, I have yet to see any factual, work order, type documentation from Joel Rosen. Just letters. If you were to get an NICB report confirming Baldwin then the car's history becomes more credulious & far more likely to get a blessing from Joel.
John, so either the seller found the original documents relating to the car or an NICB report was run. So, please tell us...what are the facts?

Jude

You were the first allowed to look at the car and you offered him 20K. I was the second guy and paid him his price. Bob told you and I both that Joel Rosen knew the previous owner of the car. I confirmed this with Joel so at that point, its a no brainer. Again, as I stated before, Bob only spoke to Joel on the phone and never sent the $ to get it documented. I did. As for documenting Motion cars there is only one way to do it. You may have your opinions on him. However, I have always had a good experience with him. I have bought several cars in the past that I thought were Baldwin Motion cars, spoke to Joel on the phone on these cars, sent the $ in to get them documented and they turned out not being a Baldwin Motion car and lost my money. Its a chance you take when trying to get them documented.

John,
In case you haven't been able to read between the lines I'll tell you my theory.
The Vette was listed for sale & you called got the vin from the middleman. The vin was run on NICB which told you it came from Baldwin Chev. You bought the car, sent Joel the info you had then posted it here for sale at $275K after Joel confirmed it was real.
A google search of your name reaveals that you may be the police captain for West Haven Ct police dept.
If my thoery is incorrect I hope you & the members accept my appology. It's just that the pieces seem to fit together.
BTW I never made an offer to the seller because of the lack of documentation.

Jude-
Well, your theory is wrong. However, it is interesting that 2 days after I purchased the car, I received a call from Bob representing you wanting to buy the car from me and all of a sudden Bob had informed me with new information that the car was delivered to Baldwin Chevrolet. Bob told me that the gentlemen that wants to buy the car knows it is a Baldwin Motion vette and will pay me accordingly and make it worth it. So Jude, why don't you tell everyone on supercar how "you got the information on the car"? Well, now you have an opportunity to purchase the car like everyone else, by bidding on ebay. Second of all, I think you have a heck of a nerve to google anyone and no I am not in anyway related with a captain in West Haven Police Department. So once again, your theories are all wrong about me. You are just trying to discredit my car on ebay because you didn't offer Bob the right price at the start and lost the car.

John, what is the history on the car? Any good story on who the original buyer was? What paperwork is there on this car.

One hell of a car buy the way!! I would never be able to sell a treasure like this. I think I would just spend my days sitting in the garge staring at it!!

Bill-
I am the 3rd owner of the car. The car maybe shortly reunited with the original owner. It seems like he is very interested and wants to buy his car back. The car started its life as an SS427 phase III corvette, went back to Motion for more performance modifications a second time. The car did see time on the drag strip and the vehicle is currently documented by Joel Rosen. Thank you for your positive feedback on the car. The only reason I am selling this treasure is because I have my eyes on another gem.

Charlie, I dissagree. Law enforcement personnell salaries are paid by the taxpayer. They take an oath to protect and serve & with that comes higher ethics & accountability. The tools they use to enforce laws are also taxpayer funded & therefore should not be used for any type of personal gain. Before I purchase a musclecar I usually drive to the local police station to see if the vin has been reported stolen & they'll give me that much, but no more info. Why should a paid public servant be allowed to ID a car that's 3 states away, track it to a Long Island dealership, buy it & flip it for a profit? I'm all about finding cool cars & have discussed this with guys that have NICB access. They respond that they can't take a commission or profit in any way as it could joepardize their job.
