Default Bob Bond Motion Camaro

Bob Bond owned a Baldwin Motion Camaro back in the 70's. IIR when I spoke woith him early 90's he told me it was brown with a white stripe. I can't remember where he bought it or who it was sold to. Bob said the glove box was full of original Motion documentation. I believe he said this was '78-79 era. One of Bob's friends/employees just added on my FB page Bob only only owned the car for a short period of time. He also said Bob bought an new BM Camaro in 1968 that was blue he drove with Bob to New York to pick it up.

Bob Bond from Shadyside Oh owned the only independent Rod Shop franchise in the US.

He owned the original Rod Shop Hemi Charger.

He bought this Challenger off of Gil Kirk who owned the Rod Shop. That is Gil next to the car.

One of the Rod Shop team members broke an arm at the Columbus Springnationals and Bob drove this Challenger to the local hospital with the guy in the passenger seat and Gil Kirk in the the rear. Open headers and slicks.

If you knew Bob Bond he was quite a character.
