Baldwin Motion Nova

[stinger3369]

Just wondering if anybody has some information on this Nova? Is it real, if not who built it? Anything would be a great help. I'm pretty sure it's not a real one, but somebody went through alot of work to put a bunch of BM parts on it.

Looks like a "take off" on these 1968/1969 BM Camaros.

there are not many pictures of MP Novas from back in the day but I dont recall any with that stripe layout

looks like they tried to make it look like this MP Nova but added the stripes

This is a known clone… We should not perpetuate false information

This one is a 1 of 1 bought originally by the son of the Mexican President back in the day. It was in Otis Chandler's museum for the longest time. Dealer invoice still on window.

Yep, it’s the 1969 “Mexican” Motion Camaro. He also bought a ‘69 Motion Chevelle to tow it with. His name was Roberto Schneider and that’s why the Chevelle has RS emblems on it. He wasn’t the son of the Mexican president though, just a rich 18 year old who’s family were successful bankers/cattle ranchers.

Roberto Schneider was the son-in-law of the Governor of Chihuahua, Mexico.

interesting history of the 69 Motion Mexican Camaro and Chevelle including sitting in storage for over 1 year

The full story of the 2 Motion cars is in Marty's Motion book

it looks much better with the right wheels

The invoice for both cars plus additional storage was $20k! That was a lot of money back then. The Camaro looks great in that pic!

Kevin, I would like to know more about it, and I'm sure many others on here would too.

Trying to reach the current owner of the car if it is stinger3369.

I purchased the car in 2006 in North Carolina.

Seller purported that it was a real Motion car but had zero documentation.
Clearly is was originally an L6 automatic car on the column converted to Hurst 3 speed automatic on the floor. Lime Green paint code with jade green interior. That would likely have never been a car Motion would have converted.

No need to verify if car was ever touched by Motion Performance, as it was clearly a tribute car but it did have a-lot of era correct Motion type parts on it.

As I’m not a very mechanical guy, I had a buddy go over the car and verified it was a 454 block with LS6 heads, very aggressive cam, Edelbrock intake manifold with Holley 750 carb, Hooker headers, MSD ignition, Motion style valve covers with Motion “ID” plates I bought on eBay lol, and fly eye air cleaner. Also had a line lock installed for burnouts.

Interior was converted to black with bench seat and that Hurst 3-speed automatic

Exterior had a fiberglass Motion Performance style Stinger Hood (I added the Hood tach when the car was repainted in 2010, knock off Corvette style side pipe covers (originals were likely the real deal). I had all correct SS 427 badging, Motion decals, etc purchased in 2010 when I had a local body shop paint the car with Phase III striping.
Still had stock AM/FM radio that worked.
The gearing and suspension was a 12 bolt posi with 4.10 gears, period correct new traction bars, and a Cal Custom differential cover - stock multi leaf springs. Brakes were front disc and drums in rear.
Period correct torque thrust wheels with correct Motion Center cap decals.
