Re: '68 Camaro A/MP race car -TO THE NONBELIEVERS!
[ QUOTE ]
Hopefully the final word on this! Believers & Non-Believers: I noticed that there seems to be a controversy over the shot of daylight under the front wheels of the '68 Baldwin-Motion A/MP Camaro taken on Sunrise Highway. Non-Believers doubt the ability of the Camaro to actually pull the wheels on the street. Since I'm the guy who took the photo with a real camera (Nikon FTN) and real film (Kodak TriX) and still has the negatives, I can assure you that this is the real deal. It was during dyno-testing and Joel Rosen or Billy Mitchell backed it off the dyno and on to the street. There were two passes and both times the car hooked up and yanked the front wheels. The headers were open which explains the "smoke" under the front of the car. The car, sponsored by Motion Supercar Club and CARS Magazine, went on to set a number of NHRA National Records and drive Grumpy Jenkins crazy! It was the poster car for our "Win On Sunday, Sell On Monday" program which established Baldwin-Motion as the premier builder and marketer of niche market musclecars. And, we still are! And no, neither Joel nor I have a clue as to where this car is today. Enjoy, Marty Martyn L. Schorr PMPR, Inc. [/ QUOTE ] so, whats cooking now? humble pie or crow? and who's eating it?

Anybody else notice the two slot-looking things under the front bumper - what are those? Looks like the old 4-4-2 cold air intakes maybe..
