427s towing boats in North Carolina. Photo copy rights thought to be Reggie Fountain.

2nd pic looks like they're towing a 16' Magnum Marine Missile.

WOW... 69 BM Corvette and a 65-66 BB roadster, not much better than that.
Of course Fountain power boats is/was located on the NC coast.

I’m sure Bill S (olredalert) will chime in.

Reggie Fountain also had a Motion Mako Shark

I wonder if the blue 1969 427 Corvette was sent back to Motion to become a Motion Mako , looks like both pictures show blue interior

Lets see if Bill has any interesting car towing boat pictures.

----No pictures, but I did tow my 16 foot Banshee to Florida from Cape Cod with a 67 350hp Corvette convert in 1970. The car later was stolen and turned up a year later in Alabama. That is a nice Magnum Missile, Lee!.....Bill S

Is the 69 Lemans Blue Bright Blue interior Baldwin Motion vette a known car?

I saw a 1969 Baldwin Motion Corvette identical to the one pictured in the swap meet section at the Super Chevy Show in Indy in late 80's or early 90's. They were asking $29,900 for it which just as well have been a million dollars to me back then since I was still in high school but I was head or heals for it. I've got a couple pics of it in one of my photo albums and will look them this weekend.

Here are the pics, I believe the seller was sitting in the chair.

My buddy from high school got back to me and said he was with me when I took these pictures so it had to be 1991 because I went with my Dad in 1988. Such good times, wish I could go back for a day just to walk a good swap meet again. I posted the pics in the Motion section to see if anyone remembers the car as well.

A very similar Baldwin Motion car was for sale at Bloomington Gold in about 1992. I was in love with the car and later found out it was a Motion car, but not really a Baldwin Motion car. It was also a 400 horse car originally. I swear its the same one in the picture carnut4life posted.

I'll play. My '68 390 HP Corvette. (Pix from about 1978)

That's awesome Dennis!

Kevin Suydam has a similar car. All 3 cars in this thread are 1969 blue/blue but have slightly different stripes. Kevin's looks to have larger wheel flares

[firstgenaddict]

That's the car I was thinking about Joe!
