1968 Camaro RS/SS Baldwin Motion

[STEFS]

Just purchased a 68 RS/SS Motion car. Per the NCRS was delivered to Baldwin Chevy late November 67. Car has been in New Jersey all its life. Black/Black no console. I am in the process of verifying that it is a true Motion car. I have talked to many old Motion employees and many parts are Motions. Does anyone know of this car ?????? Any help would be appreciated . Thanks. Joe

Delivery to Baldwin is a great start in verifying a true motion car. Dan palchante would know if he was still on the site or still with us.

Bump for those of us still on the edge of our seats waiting/hoping for more anything on this one.
A Black L78 4-Spd. is way cool no matter what, especially w/ Baldwin heritage but Super exciting if anything solid can be found to confirm it was Motion equipped when new or Day-2.
Best of luck w/ everything and please share anything you can.
