Friends Of Motion:

Check out the latest posting on The Car Guy Chronicles which has links to the Collectible Classic story on my Baldwin-Motion Grifo in the August issue of AUTOMOBILE magazine and a Grifo photo album (A.J. Mueller's images taken during the magazine shoot) on Picassa.

Hi:
There was only one Baldwin-Motion Iso Grifo--mine. It's at the left end of the photo, next to an AC-428.
The one with the hood bulge is powered by a 427 that had been transplanted elsewhere. The owner bought it from Malcolm Konner Chevrolet with 427 installed. I drove it and it was awesome. It was tuned at Motion. The other one belonged to an airline pilot and was in for tuning. Joel Rosen owned a stock small-block Grifo (Yellow) for about a year around 1970-1971.
I have no idea where the others are today.

Joe:
Unfortunately living in Florida you don't get to drive cars without AC much between June and October! During the cooler months I do drive it and occasionally show it. During the photo shoot for AUTOMOBILE magazine I probably went through $75 worth of 100 0ctane ($8.00 a gallon) which you can buy at the pumps here!
Engine runs like new (car has under-13,000 miles) and when installed was worked on and tuned by Joel Rosen, Bill Mitchell and Dennis Ferrara.

Very cool. Alot of interesting NJ history there in the article on Marty's also. We had a family friend who's Griffith 200 was also custom painted by Gerdes back in the day.
