Vehicle Description
Some cars are just unmistakably cool from every angle. This 1969
Chevrolet Corvette Baldwin-Motion tribute not only looks the part
of the ultimate intimidator, but the restoration made sure to add
plenty of power to back it all up, too.
Baldwin-Motion is mentioned in the same breath as Yenko or Nickey
in the Chevrolet communities. This hallowed performance car name
only produced a handful of originals, which means buying one today
will require forgoing a large house, and so it'll make you nervous
every time it leaves the garage. So the obvious solution is the
Corvette you see here. This 1969 Stingray was restored only about
3k miles ago, and so the factory-correct Riverside Gold still have
a vibrant respray. It makes for a terrific background for the
iconic full striping package and scooped big block hood that came
from ordering your Corvette through Motion Performance via Baldwin
Chevrolet. Plus, those slotted mag wheels with Motion Performance
center caps are a great touch. Even those who don't recognize these
hallmarks will quiver at the racer fuel filler cap and massive side
exhaust pipes.
Because the black stripping looks so good against the gold paint,
you'll really love the full black interior, too. After all, with a
T-top sports car like this, it's great to have a well-coordinated
package inside and out. A true Baldwin-Motion machine is a true
driver's machine, and so the high-back bucket seat is supple and
inviting. It feels good to grab the Hurst shifter with your right
hand and the grippy sports steering wheel with your left one. Plus,
the Stingray was built to keep you fully informed with all your
readouts at eye-level, including the upgraded Sun Super Tach.
But what you really want to know about is what's going on under the
hood. The monster V8 is a ZZ454 performance crate motor that was
installed around 2.5k miles ago. While the powerplant is fresh, it
has the great classic look with the screen air topper and proper
Motion polished valve covers. This V8 inhales deeply with a Holley
750 double-pumper four-barrel carburetor and Chevy performance
intake. It exhales with the growl of performance thanks to headers
feeding those side pipes. Plus, you have complete control over the
power and thunder of this motor with the close-ratio Muncie M21
four-speed manual transmission. You've even have nice supporting
components, like power steering and a large aluminum radiator to
help keep this powerful package running cool. The undercarriage
photos will remind you how fresh this whole build is. Plus, you're
also reminded of the superior handling a C3 Corvette delivers with
a fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes.
Complete with maintenance records and engine receipts, this
Corvette is one mean machine. This Stingray comes with all the
respect of a hallowed classic American muscle nameplate, and more
importantly, there's no stress when you want to go out and have a
little fun. Call today!!
