Vehicle Description
Some cars are just unmistakably cool from every angle. One glance
at this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Baldwin-Motion tribute and you know
there have been some serious investments in upgrades. The iconic
paint package, performance L88 big block, and so much more is fresh
from an expert restoration. So this is coupe that was built to turn
heads and eat the asphalt.
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, and so this is the right
middle ground. The price is a fraction of an original, and it was
built by BTP Total Performance and Gene Schmidt (a renowned
performance Camaro and Yenko restorer.) There's barely 3,000 miles
on this coupe since completion, so it looks exceptionally crisp.
And it really gets the details right - everywhere from the Baldwin
Chevrolet tag on the rear spoiler to the special L88 Corvette
stinger hood that was custom integrated. This is true performance
machine, and the legendary bold Hugger Orange Camaro warns others
on the streets "Don't mess with me!" Plus, there's a
well-coordinated dark side. The black pieces are a terrific
contrast to the orange while offering plenty of attitude on the
vinyl roof, front spoiler, blacked-out front w/RS hidden
headlights, full hockey stick stripe package, blacked-out rear
panel, and stripe accenting the special hood. The whole package
looks authentic and outstanding - right down to the
competition-style torque thrust wheels with B-M center caps and
redline tires.
If you were to put together a greatest hits list for the
first-generation Camaro interior, this one would have all the right
tunes. After all, houndstooth seats are an icon all on their own,
and this looks fresh and correct all the way to the button-top
presentation. Plus, you also get the center console with the quad
auxiliary gauge package... and you'll notice these are upgraded
Stewart Warner units - the same goes for the large speedo and tach.
The restoration investment here really meant getting the details
right, so you get plenty of the premium wood-like trim and even the
AM radio is still cranking out tunes! The trunk continues the time
capsule look, right down to the spacesaver spare tire. But more
than just look great, this one gives you the ideal tingle of
performance. You'll slip behind the classic Chevy three-spoke
sports steering wheel, and your right hand is instantly attracted
to the special Hurst His-n- Hers dual-gate shifter.
Because these B-M Camaros were all about the monster motor, you'll
love showing off the engine bay. It has the great classic look with
the screen air topper and proper Motion polished valve covers. This
is a proper L88 427 cubic-inch big block that has been enhanced
with bored .04 over and solid lifter cam. This V8 inhales deeply
with a large Holley four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock
performance intake. It exhales with the growl of performance thanks
to headers feeding the rumbling dual exhaust. And when you really
want to bring the thunder, the cutouts give this the kind of sound
that will make you feared. The strong TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission has line lock to really take full advantage of the
monster motor and Hurst shifter. The undercarriage photos will
remind you how fresh this whole build is. Plus, you'll spot great
pieces, like the traction bars in the rear. Add in power steering
and front disc brakes, and this is one impressive total
package.
Your heart will skip a beat every time the ferocious exhaust fires
up in your garage. This Camaro is exceptionally clean and
exceptionally mean, and a worthy Baldwin-Motion tribute. So if you
want to be memorable everywhere you go, call today!
