My question is, Would it be a real "Baldwin" Motion car?

the "new" baldwin motion has little to do with the old motion and nothing to do with baldwin. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Good question.

[x Baldwin Motion]

As I believe had been posted earlier, Joel made a deal with some partners to build these supercars and he sold them the rights to use the "Motion" name. "Baldwin" was an add-on for marketing purposes as it surely has no geographic relevance.
Baldwin, being on Long Island NY and the cars being built in Florida.

Harsh opinion following, do not read if you are offended by the truth.....This car is butt ugly. These cars are a stab at the stame market as (fake Shelby) Elenor (puke choke gasp, oh, my eyes...,) cars appeal to. Stupid people with a shortage of taste and too much money. Luckily, purchasers of these cars will lose money on them so that is some consolation. I wouldn't give 9700.00 for that car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

I think it is a cool car that just misses a bit on styling. I would pay 100K for it right now .. but that would be it. I can't say I beleive the 500k+ bid. Looks like an old T-bird convertible from the top of the rear deck to the seats... and a speedster is a Porsche. Just doesn't sound right refering to a Camaro as a "Speedster"

[njsteve]

Why doesn't Motion just redo 1969 and 70 Camaros with vintage speed parts and sell them as "continuation cars" like Shelby did with his new series of old cars.

That would be neat!

[427TJ]

I can't blame Joel Rosen for wanting to cash in on the Motion legend but it's difficult if not impossible to catch lightning in bottle once, let alone twice. Maybe if the cars looked just like the originals, with 15" five-spokes and Mark IV 427s, etc., they'd have something special--and more importantly, nostalgic. These new cars do not in any way evoke nostalgia the way the originals do and these new cars are horrendously overpriced. Any blue-collar guy could buy a B-M conversion car in 1969 but you have to be rich to buy one of these new ones. Nice try but 1969 only happened once.

That "motion" car looks "Goofy" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif
....I would think that this car would be the one to buy http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Thanks John,
I like ours better also, but I am biased.

We Sold the Nickey ZL1 Continuation Series Camaro OO1 to a Collector in Ontario Canada.

We are taking orders for more. In fact, you can spec out your Nickey just like back in the 1960s and '70s, at the fall Chevy Vette Fest (Video taped and all) with Don Swiatek, just like you would have done back in the day.

Is Fugly a word? If it is then in the Westber, you would see a Picture of That.

Pro Touring "copies" of these cars are just boring. Not a HINT of original interior. At least the copies of the Hemi Darts have factory interiors.... they just have big stupid rims instead.

[markjohnson]

"1969 only happened once". Quite beautifully said, 427TJ. That about sums it up as well as anything I've ever heard. Those cars that were built back then were for the working man on a working man's budget. These new monstrosities are just terrible-looking trinkets for millionaires with more money than sense. Emblems don't make the car. An ugly woman with expensive jewelry is still an ugly woman. Yeah, those new Hemi Darts also look terrible unfortunately.

[Tommy]

I think it's ugly and boring as well. I wouldn't bid if I could.. I couldn't if I wanted too http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. I do wish I could have picked out something nice and "real" in 68-69 though but I was just a thought back then...

Can you say FUGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Canucklehead]

I remember seeing or hearing somewhere that that car was originally purchased for around the $400k mark. Now this car was built for this guy, if this was his dream car and he paid that kind of dough why would he want to sell it. Maybe it's not what he was expecting. Could it be he can (or trying to) double his money. If i had that kind of dough to blow my dream car would'nt be for sale for any price. Sounds fishy. When he and the car were showcased on "American Muscle Car, the Ultimates 'he seemed very happy

MUCH RATHER HAVE A GMMG CAR FOR A QUARTER OF THE PRICE

[king_midas]

No doubt that the motor is beautiful, and some of the metalwork, excluding the body, is very nicely done.

However, they still can't get the headlight doors to line up correctly, and that hood scoop is just f-ing hideous. Who in their right mind would place that tacky add-on on a supposedly modern car? Obviously, someone will state that the hood wouldn't fit over the induction system, but those ITB intakes could have been engineered to fit under a flat hood.

And then there's the rolling shot of those two schmos going for a ride... Once again, it's obvious that a prototype wasn't built, and studied from all angles. The proportions of that car are so bad from that angle that it looks like a home-built, amateur-hour special.

Also, I had to laugh because, in the "two schmos" picture, they appear to be pulling out of a trailer park... Such irony-- Do you think he sold his house to buy the Camaro, and had to move into a trailer park?

I guess that ending price says it all. Only about $400k off....!

HI what about geting insurance
