Vehicle Description
At the height of Detroit's muscle car wars the one guaranteed way
to stop traffic was to option a choice road warrior, find an
in-the-know speed doctor, and build the hottest strip slayer your
money could buy! Take this sinister Camaro for example. Rolling out
of Norwood as a black-on-black Z/28, it is believed to be a
Motion-modified land rocket that's as wild as it is historic. With
a freshly rebuilt 427 that rumbles with an EFI throttle body system
and Winters aluminum heads, the car can whip almost anything up and
down the strip. With a proven and fully sorted chassis, it'll be
big fun to cruise. And with an aggressive Baldwin-Motion profile
that wraps glossy pigment around a taut, no-nonsense cockpit, it
features a perfect combination of brash style and all-American
swagger. Want to park some impressive muscle in your garage? Check
out this sweet Z/28!
MOTION-MODIFIED
The 1960s were a magical time in the automotive world. Gas was
cheap, Americans were head over heels for their cars, and speed
shops were popping up everywhere from backyard garages to
dealership showrooms. A select few 'dealership associates' made
serious names for themselves, and the result is what collectors now
call 'day two cars'. Day two cars are some of the most exciting and
exclusive classics in existence, sporting names like Yenko, Mr.
Norm's, Nickey, Dana, Tasca and Royal Pontiac. But no one made day
two cars like Baldwin, New York's Motion Performance. The latter
half of Baldwin-Motion, with Baldwin Chevrolet being the dealer
that sold initial kit to customers, Motion did more than just bolt
up 'go fast' parts. They also installed engine packages, created
custom bodywork, painted cars and even backed their performance
with a Motion Performance Guarantee.
While an authentic 1969 Camaro Z/28 might seem like an unlikely
candidate for the Motion treatment, the Phase III package was
offered on almost every Camaro available. And, according to this
Chevy's owner, conversations with Mr. Motion himself have confirmed
this coupe is indeed a Motion-modified car. The most obvious
giveaway to this classic's more-than-stock status is its
Motion-style Stinger Hood. Looking deeper, its big block
conversion, detailed with correct motor mounts and a correct heater
box, is very characteristic of the professional installs completed
at Motion Performance. A bit of research confirmed that this coupe
was indeed sold through Baldwin Chevrolet. And the car's history is
thoroughly outlined in a Camaro Specialties report that's included
with our sale.
