71 BM Vette

[71bmvette]

In response to the authenticity of this car i can verify that it is indeed a real Baldwin motion corvette and unfortunatley it will soon have a new owner. I can also tell you that HP2 is a sraight shooter and everything he is telling you guys is for real. I know this because i have been a good friend of the family for many years and worked with the deceased owner on researching this car. This car is probably one of the most documented low mileage BM vettes that exists including the original bill of sale and build sheet. From the research we have done we believe it is the same car used in the BM advertisements and possibly the only 71 built. I have many pictures of this car that i will try and post in the near future.

Looking forward to seeing the pictures; I love the Motion Corvettes. It's a shame the current owner can't hang onto it.

Here are a couple of recent pictures of the 71 motion vette. I will try and post more as time allows.

Another picture. (these were all taken right after the car was aquired from the original owner and before it was ever cleaned up)

You can clearly see the original GT 454 emblem in this shot!

I beleive the last BM Phase III GT built was the Daytona Yellow car Joel owned and restored in 1993. Although that car had the 69 style gills it had the 71 grill. It was also said to be the last car built and had to be built 2 times as a fire burned down the first finished car. The article can be found in VETTE magazine in 1992, maybe June. It was also plastered over every car magazine in 1993 when the resto was finished

After seeing the engine photos, I thought maybe this might have started off as a '71 LS-6 Corvette. But seeing the engine bay photos, I see it has the AC expansion tank, which would make it an LS-5 originally.
