No it isn't the car at the auction. There was another thread that I removed because the guy did not price the car after being asked. He came to the site asking questions about Motion Vettes then says he has a car that he is going to sell but the only pics he posts are pics scanned from a old magazine like the one above. Once again he can come back and start a new thread but I would caution people to make sure it is a real car. Current pics would go a long way to proving it is not a scam.
this is not a scam the car is real the car is currently in storage the pics are from over the summer not a magazine i will try to get new pics of the car but these ones were scaned from my computer but...i would like to thank you for your help with trying to put the car on this site

So sorry to hear of your loss and the tragic circumstances necessitating the sale of this car Dale..
Considering the situation, is it possible a new thread can be posted w/ pics again and asking for opinions of what a fair value may be?.

Just a thought from an old timer, pricing a car for sale can also protect the seller from the potential bidding war that results in no sale at all. Time & time again I have seen people jump all over a rare car that "might be for sale" with estimates of what a car like that should bring. An unaware seller gets caught up in the hype, and, goes with the pie in the sky ideas resulting in an asking price that nobody will come close to paying. That fiasco drags on for months, and, even the real potential buyers, someone who will really write a check, lose interest, and, a car that could have been sold quickly at a fair price, takes forever to sell. Now, I will sit back and watch as the estimates roll in on this car. I hope it's real, and, the docs are foolproof. I hope it brings every dollar that is possible. I just don't like the way it has developed, and,in the spirit of full disclosure, I have no interest in buying this car.

i dont like the way it developed either...but i am the deceased owners brother and i came to your site expecting help and instead all you people do is tell me i am a scam... there are plenty of other methods to get word out on this car

I saw nobody call you a scam. When minimal information is offered, you have to understand that there will be questions that need to be answered on a high dollar car. This is the site where you can get the most information and help on your car, but, you have to be prepared to offer all the information necessary to support the car's history.
hp2, have you talked to Joel Rosen, owner of Motion Performance, about this car?

Despite the "red flags" of limited information posts I believe we would all serve ourselves well by trying to find and follow the history on this car. I am sure Glenn and others are out in the garage right now looking for the magazines that covered this unique vette.
Those who may be interested in purchasing the car but are afraid of a scam (such an ugly word) just keep your check book zipped up tight until more is revealed on the car. Nobody is forcing anyone to jump up with a wad of cash.
Nobody will be any less entertained and nobody will be more disapointed than me if we don't have the fresh pictures and history on the car.
I would suggest we all take a breath, sit back and let a man who has suffered a great loss present his info at his own pace through his limited internet access.

In response to the authenticity of this car i can verify that it is indeed a real Baldwin motion corvette and unfortunatley it will soon have a new owner. I can also tell you that HP2 is a sraight shooter and everything he is telling you guys is for real. I know this because i have been a good friend of the family for many years and worked with the deceased owner on researching this car. This car is probably one of the most documented low mileage BM vettes that exists including the original bill of sale and build sheet. From the research we have done we believe it is the same car used in the BM advertisements and possibly the only 71 built. I have many pictures of this car that i will try and post in the near future.

IMO a real basketcase with docs is at least 60k all day long.MINT restored prolly 5/6X that.
From pics I'd say 100k+ at minimum with docs.

$250,000 since it is one of one unrestored.
A restored gold Motion GT sold at Barrett Jackson in 2005 for $ 226K,
A restored red Motion GT sold on ebay for $150K is out in LI. NY now. (I thought that was very well bought)
Another red Motion Corvette sold this weekend for $200K.
All 3 had documentation letters from Joel
You may want to try it on ebay to see what happens. For best results, you should have the ebay listing done by someone experienced and knowledgeable on the Motion cars and selling on ebay.
Bidders will want good pictures and ask a lot of questions such as ..
What do you have for documentation?
Do you have a letter from Joel Rosen
Did you look for a gas tank sticker
Does it have the expensive hard to find Motion parts such as Dupree fuel pump, Phase III Super CD, Hone OD, etc.
Was it bought from Baldwin Chevy and built by Motion as a new car or was it brought to Motion as a used car
And other questions about the condition of the car.
i do belive my brother was in contact with joel rosen before he past away...yes i do have the gas tank sticker and the hone od etc i also have the original window sticker the car came from baldwin chevy and built by motion as a brand new car

Fast67,
I dont think you could say the car is unrestored from the looks of the magazine and the pics of the car today its definately been painted if its that same car..
Dale,
As for price?? Because of your situation I would expect you want to get all the money you can you the car, I would suggest contacting Dana Mecum (Mecum Auctions) and seeing if you could add it to the Spring Auction in Indy, with all the great cars that will be there this year (Daves collection and many more GREAT cars) I can tell you there will be BIG MONEY/REAL BUYERS theyre and the car would probably bring the most it would anywhere and it take the hassle out of it for you. And definately contact Joel and see if he'll doc the car for you tell him your situation and who know maybe he'd do a good deed and wont hook you the $1500. If you need some help let me know
thanks a ton for the info.

- The car is no doubt an amazing find!.
http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drool.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif
Although not buyers, there's some of us here w/ an interest in seeing the invoice again if posting it once more is possible?.
http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
And not sure from the above postings if it's sold yet or not but since even sigificant cars are having a tough time in today's market, it could be tough to reach the above mentioned figure?.
So it may be best to heed the good advice in the previous posting and if it's definately being sold, not to drag on too long?.
Also good advice was someone's mention of contacting Joel and seeing if he'll help w/ docs?.
Then auction or eBay it...whatever's necessary to roll the car while the car's appearance and interest in it is fresh?.
Best to you and your family w/ everything!

I would not bother going through an auction house to sell this car. I think you would be giving up way too much in fees. Most of the big muscle car players frequent this site or have friends who do. (others agree??)
I think an Ebay auction would be the way to go. Make sure you have high quality / high resolution picutres of the car and ALL documentation. Do a detailed description. Make sure the description is not one gigantic paragraph with bullet points for the highlights. (You would be surprised how many people just have one huge unreadable paragraph!!)
Did you contact Kevin Suydam? He might be a buyer or just a fantastic source of information about the car and its value.
If you do an Ebay ad place a post in the For Sale section of this forum. Make sure you list a price in the forum. it can be a high price but the rules say you need to have a price.
Your other idea would be to put the car together and then sell it. The car seems like it is in very good shape and would not need too much work to have her up and running. Just an idea.....
I love the paint and think this is an amazing car!!!!
PeteLeathersac
03-27-2008, 12:54 AM
Above sounds like great advice!.
The get it back and running idea especially so!.
Also the more documents the better so it may be worth considering dropping the tank for the build sheet too?.
I don't know if you can peek past these Enots flip-caps like the factory fillers...they do undo and necks are threaded so it may be possible to first see the sheet from above?.
And again considering the whole situation, Joel may help w/ docs or memories of this specific car especially if he spoke w/ your brother...sure worth asking at least?.
Again best to you and your family Dale...nice to see everyone here help in any way they can!.

I beleive the last BM Phase III GT built was the Daytona Yellow car Joel owned and restored in 1993. Although that car had the 69 style gills it had the 71 grill. It was also said to be the last car built and had to be built 2 times as a fire burned down the first finished car. The article can be found in VETTE magazine in 1992, maybe June. It was also plastered over every car magazine in 1993 when the resto was finished

Ebay is one hell of a cheap way to reach thousands of people. Your auction will get a lot of attention. Even if it does not sll on Ebay the word will get out and you will get calls.
Write a great description using puncuation and paragraphs with bullet points for the details. (You would be amazed how many guys do one huge unreadable paragraphs!!)
Take 15 or so excellent pictures. If you have a freind who is very good with the camera even better!!
Also...

In response to the authenticity of this car i can verify that it is indeed a real Baldwin motion corvette and unfortunatley it will soon have a new owner. I can also tell you that HP2 is a sraight shooter and everything he is telling you guys is for real. I know this because i have been a good friend of the family for many years and worked with the deceased owner on researching this car. This car is probably one of the most documented low mileage BM vettes that exists including the original bill of sale and build sheet. From the research we have done we believe it is the same car used in the BM advertisements and possibly the only 71 built. I have many pictures of this car that i will try and post in the near future.

I beleive the last BM Phase III GT built was the Daytona Yellow car Joel owned and restored in 1993. Although that car had the 69 style gills it had the 71 grill. It was also said to be the last car built and had to be built 2 times as a fire burned down the first finished car. The article can be found in VETTE magazine in 1992, maybe June. It was also plastered over every car magazine in 1993 when the resto was finished
The car that Burned was one of the earlier GTs in the program, the story goes the builder said it just burned but then they found out it was 10 miles from the shop and they were out joy riding it. Gary The Local Brush did all the builds after that.

Hello all. I've owned the gold motion gt corvette for some time now. I'm still trying to piece together what I need since the cars running gear was pretty much taken apart. I need to find a hone-o-drive unit and admit I know little about them due to the fact none of my other BM cars have one in them. As far as the custom paint goes it's badly checked. I would be glad to hear from anyone with knowledge of these cars.
the Hone O Drives pop up on ebay sometimes and there is one on there now
There is a lot of info online with pictures of Hone O Drives installed
A few references on Ebay:

More info here, but the company never got restarted to reproduce the shifters and last info is from 6 years ago, but still good reference info:

Not much done on vette. All that has been done is trans rebuild. Between running my business and my wife having some serious health issues car seems to be put on the back burner. May be time to send it down the road and let someone else complete it. Do not really know.
