New member - old Motion fan

[Dog427435]

I am new to this site, just discovering it a few weeks ago. Having grown up on the island some of my finest memories are of week nights and Saturday afternoons in Baldwin Chevrolet's showroom drooling over the Motion cars! I have read every page of postings and downloaded all the pictures to my Motion file.
I remember a gloomy fall afternoon watching 2 '69 Motion Camaro's coming out of the service door. Both cars were 427's one having an era custom green and white flip flop paint job. They were being driven down to North Carolina to the new owners. The mechanics were joking regarding the likelihood of both making the trip unscathed with the big cams & steep gears.
I have a bunch of slides from 67-69 at Islip and West Hampton that I need to go through, I know there are some Motion cars in there. I'll need to have some prints made to scan and send in. I'm attaching a picture of the Astoria-Chas vette taken out at Hampton and an article on the Ribbon Camaro I had not seen posted.
Thanks again for the GREAT memories!!!

I'll be going through the slides this weekend - I remember a '69 Camaro and a Chevelle - but I'm not sure of what pictures I have of what.
Your '68 sounds great - I had a '66 Impala SS L72 - 427/425 4 spd that saw a lot of action at Hampton. Was not a Baldwin car though

Thanks for posting the ones of your L72 66. I wonder if that car is still around somewhere.. Along with the convertible we also have this one, a 68 SS427 L72 hardtop. This one is from O'keefe Chevrolet in Riverhead. It's very unique as it has the cowl plenum air cleaner setup.

Nice Toys---

[Dog427435]

Nice stable of SS's! Love those big blocks!
I let mine go around 1970 - When I ran slicks it was ripping the trailing arm mounts off the bottom of the car and tearing out the trans crossmember mounts. After blowing the rear and tearing off another trailing arm I stuck it in a friends garage for a couple months then traded it for a velvet vette. I haven't seen it in 30 years - but who knows?
It was a true DAILY DRIVER as the attached picture shows - thats me in the middle of the street.

[FANTASY FACTORY]

I'll shed some first hand light on the "COPO" Vette,
MY father worked for Custom Auto Collision that is displayed on the quarter panel.late 60's. My dad was very good friends(goombas) with "GENE COPOBIANCO" aka Gino, Owner of COPO motors, I recall going down to hang out at the shop many a saturday while the car was being prepped by my dad for paint as gino was not a very patient man when it came to such things, the shop was located in astoria queens under the "EL" the day it was to have the paint started my father decides to exercise the big block while it had some puny painter tires on it, i think this scenario was later used in the french connection movie, but the car returned unscathed, as is the way friends go their seperate ways and i only saw the car once again after it was painted,(picture does not do it justice) at National Speedway in Center Moriches, by now I was class racing my 66 cuda, Gino remembered me and allowed me to stroll the pits in the car, I belive the pic here is in the far end of the pits after the ticket booth, along side Graham road. As a side note I have lived within walking distance of MOTION since 1975.

[x Baldwin Motion]

Welcome, FanFac, which side of the tracks did you live on?

[Tarrytown SS427s]

Thanks Dog,
Heres one of my dads 68 SS427 convertible from Baldwin Chevrolet. This one was taken in the summer of 78 in Freeport.

Married the wide eyed girl who said "cute car" down at nathans one summer nite, 25 years later I have a son in the points chase at E-Town, I seen the Motion Shop go thru some changes, and now its back to performance, Just had a chassis dyno installed, (re-installed).

hmmmmm... Nathans on Tuesday nights.

[FANTASY FACTORY]

Well tues became bike night, thursday car night, but Kravit the jeweler got pissed cause he was open late on thursday, so wed became car night and the ricers are ruining that now.
All the gold accents and lettering on the COPO vette are REAL gold leaf, The more i thnk back the more i am remembering about those days, I actaully went thru an old family album and found some stuff worth scanning,

[Dog427435]

Went through a bunch of photo's over the weekend - heres another shot of the COPO vette - not in great focus - but check out the Riv taillights!

Isn't that a Gran Sport hood? As in Corvette GS race car?

[PeteLeathersac]

'63 Grand Sports (w/ a D unlike a Buick) did have a similar look but w/ some fluted vanes in the scoops..

Comparing the custom coupe and the '67 roadster hoods, the coupe's scoop area appears slightly higher than the roadster?.

Those goofy scoops on the fender vents of the coupe are somewhat reminiscent of the style on the '68 'Vette here a few weeks back where the guy was wondering if it was a Motion car?. They were a single scoop and kind've looked like a smaller Thunderbolt hood scoop...could be the same Vette customizer?.

Yes, I own a '68 BM SS 427 Camaro with under 3,000 miles. It is red w/black int. &amp; white stripes. The car is documented by the original Baldwin Chev. invoice/bill of sale signed by Dave Bean, co-owner of Baldwin Chev. The invoice lists all of the Motion options. I also have the original title from 1968 still in the 1st owner's name. He is alive and well, and still racing.

What's up Dog? Would you happen to have my 'vette in any old pics or slides? Check out my '69 'vette in my gallery(Poss. '69 Motion Phase III GT/L-36 T.M.). I'm lookin' for any info or old pics of this 'vette. Thanks, Rosen is the King of the supercars!

Hey

That is quite an undertaking you are planning - Good luck with your project.
I don't have many shots of Motion Corvette's. I guess I didn't have the respect for them back
then as I now do!
Any idea as to the original color configuration?
If you don't mind me asking - where did you find it?
