'68 Camaro A/MP race car

I have had that number plate since about 1980/81 -
I did not renew it to the current style blue & white NY plate a few years ago as its much more lax in Pa.
That car has seen action from tracks on the Island to Cecil County, but mostly on the street.

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

Is this the same car? -Ferrara ran under Motion sponsorship for years but-the ad shows SRD prepared - this would be SRD Race Cars (now S&W Race Cars) out of PA.
I thought all chassis work, etc., was done by Motion on this car??
Either way let me have those last three digits of the phone number - I'm interested in making an offer!
