Joel Rosen made a dramatic return in November 2005 at SEMA when he and his associates, Larry Jaworske, Joel Ehrenpreis and Marty Schorr introduced the first Motion Camaro since Nixon was president. The car sold for $450,000 at the 2006 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Well, Rosen and his company are now building the 1969 Baldwin-Motion SS 427 and Phase III Camaros with modern technology—new cars designed to capture the timeless passion and performance of two of the most sought-after high-performance Chevrolets ever built. Baldwin-Motion is building a limited number of 450hp SS 427 and 600hp Phase III Camaro coupes and convertibles. Prices will start at $169,000 for the 427 model and $189,000 for the Phase III 540 Camaro.
“They will be custom-built to order and showcase unmatched quality, fit, finish and performance. Each of the serialized vehicles will be performance tested, fully documented and signed by me,” Rosen said. Just 12 will be built. All “new” Baldwin-Motion Camaros are built using premium-quality 1969 Camaro donor cars and will retain original 1969 VINs so they can be easily registered and insured anywhere.
Rosen is best known for the high-performance Chevrolets he built during the late 1960s and early 1970s at Motion Performance in Baldwin, Long Island, New York. Rosen bought cars primarily from Baldwin Chevrolet and modified them. He even offered a money-back guarantee if the cars would not reach a certain elapsed time and top end speed in the quarter mile. “I never paid out a dime”, he told Hemmings Muscle Machines.
