Imagine in 1967 driving 100 miles each way to NY National Speedway with this car having 4.88's and an M-20, setting the B/HR track record 11.50 @ 120+ and then driving home! That's a stout beast!

Hi Mason,
Your dad's car is one of the HOLY GRAILS of the Baldwin Motion combine............
How did your dad wind up at Motion Performance--thru the magazines or seeing Motion run at the track..
When your dad ordered his Chevelle did he initially plan to have Motion throw the whole HI-PO parts book at it.....JoeG

I could be wrong, but don't think any Motion cars got the Hone Overdrive until the 69 model year. There were VERY few cars built in '67 as it was the first year of the new partnership between Motion and Baldwin Chev. and the program was started later in the year. Things really got rolling in '68 and onward.

i am very happy that Ron has joined the thread. It just makes this car all that more interesting. The parts hunt is on the way right now on the 67 Chevelle. It is coming along quite nicely. As you know the car will have to undergo quite a bit of metal work. Joel and Marty have joined in as well as i am hoping any other information i may get from Ron and his family will make for a nice story on this car. I do not have any pictures as of yet to post. We are getting everything together as we speak. The car will be done by Ricky Smith along with the 68 Baldwin Motion Camaro. Ricky has the 69 RS/SS Z28 JL8 car as well. Needless to say i and Charlie B. are keeping Ricky quite busy. I will start posting some pictures as soon as i have something to post. It will probably be the end of the summer before i get a real start. We were very luck to find someone locally who owned a 67 that he had had for 14 years and never started on the car. He had every piece of trim you could think of and will certainly narrow down the parts time chasing. We have most of the driveline right now and of course the original rearend. We have the date coded engine and a slew of other stuff. Our parts chasing has gone very well. The difficult part of this car will be the metal work. I wish i could say that i thought i would have it done next year, but, it will probably be a couple of years. However this thread and speaking to the original owners family will certainly motivate us.

I know it must my hard to find parts, but now you have a non matching numberrd car, some where the 427 numbers have to be on Baldwins paper work. I know the org 427 was in the car when sold to Tom. So I know the motor is in the area, I I ask Tom, I know he will not tell me anything, but I do have friends that know alot of people. I just hope he didn't ebay it. I will help find it. That engine belongs in that car and needs to be in it. no question about it. It may take some time, but "I WILL FIND THAT ENGINE". no one knows how much that Chevelle means to me. Ron

I just spoke with Ron on the phone for about 45 minutes. He tells me of his memories of sitting in that car as a child. I told him that in about 2 years he will be able to sit in it as an adult. I am going to restore the car to the way it came from Baldwin Chevrolet & Motion performance. It will be built to the Motion specs, no tunnel ram, no metal flake paint, Blue with blue interior, black top. I will listen to Ron on his best memories of the way he remembered the car. He says he doesn't remember the ladder bars and he will check with his father on any of the technical questions as we proceed with the restoration. He is extremely excited and will be very valuable with his help. I love it when a plan comes together!
