Re: Baldwin Motion Documentation
I had to reply to this one,I have dealt with
these cars on several occasions and Mr.Rosen on several occasions. So let me give my .02
First of all unless it was ordered through Balwin Chevrolet it is not a "TRUE" Motion car.It is a hotrodded car that is no different than if it had been modified at your local speed shop. The same goes for cars that had parts via mail order installed.
Second Mr. Rosen Wants $1000-1500 (depends on his mood) to Verify a car. I have to question his ethics because on one occasion a fake car was given a letter of "approval" when it really was a fake.(I dismiss the letters as worthless)Unless the car has tight paper work(only 2 have that I looked at)I avoid Motion cars unless I can do a history search back to the original owner or close.
This is a fairly simple process and has even turned up several goodies on some cars I have researched (various makes and models),window stickers,paperwork,original rims,and most important PICTURES. I Looked at a ss camaro(supposedly a 375 car but the original owner still had pictures from the day he took delivery and the engine picture showed the 350 sticker plain as day)!
Most previous owners are thrilled to find out their car is still around and will tell you all you want to know.
Third why is the documentation so secret?
(I have to agree on the conversion theory on this)
The ZL-1 And yenko VINs are Available.What better way to stop counterfiting than to make everything public knowlege,This alone makes me suspicious.
The right thing to do would be for Mr. Rosen to give all the paperwork to some one to compile into a data base so we could see what is what.
