Seems like they did a frame off at some point, detailed some areas and let other areas go to crap.? Repro door panels are in horrible shape, you would think LMC would drop a few hundred and put some new ones on.Wouldn't call it a full fledged MP car, fluffed yes,
Curious to see what they want for it

Certainly a great color for a 70 Nova...

Detailing is weak...lots of stuff under the hood needs work. As Sully mentioned the repro interior is obviously not the best...overall not what I would expect from LMC.

It would take a weeks worth of work to straighten things out. Only thing you can't tell from the photos is the quality of the paint/body.

Never saw a car 'jacked up' on the traction bars :hmmm:

It was at Mecum Kissimmee in January. Doesn’t show as sold so it must have been a deal after the auction? It was part of the Apex Collection. I saw a discussion on FB regarding it.

The Apex collection is LMC. They had some cars that were not on their website prior to Mecum. The no sale cars are now on their site. There was a 65 Corvette I was very fond of that is now listed for sale on their site too.

I owned it before it was restored. I bought it from a fellow that had one arm and owned an cab company and tattoo parlor in Columbus Ga.

Apex also brought the yellow 1969 Motion 454 Camaro to Kissimmee. It was a cool car.

My pet peeve is seeing every hog ring in the seat pleats. I see very few seats done right.

So what does the letter say? Very hard to read, but this is what I decipher.

It is not an original Baldwin or motion car but at some point it had modifications similar to what Motion would have done?


Is this the car that had MOTION stamped on the rear flange of the engine?

Yes it is.
