JoeG's 1969 Baldwin Motion SS L78 Chevelle
I requested to see pictures of JoeG's Chevelle and he was kind enough to send me an awesome package of pics and other info pretaining to his car. I am going to post the pics for him and he will do his best to answer any questions about this awesome car. See attachment. I can enlarge any of the individual pics if requested.
Joe I will ask a few questions first. -What was the advertised Horse power of a Phase III SS L78? -How many other original owners that you know of are there of Baldwin Motion/Motion tuned cars? -Did you drive this car every day in the beginning and what made you keep it all these years?

hvychev,
Thanks for posting photos- [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]---I've got to get this scanning thing in gear----- Just about to shut computer down and saw your post--- HP----Just listed as the L78 factory rating 396/375- that was just on paper---- on dyno was over 450---- rear wheels would start to hop off the dyno wheels .,had L-60-15 MT on, the rollers on this particular machine had a hard time with these tires---------for insurance purposes the vehicle was listed as a 1969 Chevelle V8 Other Motion cars in Brooklyn------,sorry to say I never ran into another Motion car, at least they weren't saying ---I didn't advertise the fact either---I was like- TIM ALLEN & JAY LENO ---I'm running stock. .Yes -----drove it to car hang-outs -to put together some runs, but I did drive it around--- In the begining , the 456 gears would run about 3000rpm at 50/55mph on the highway ,did that for about 1 year.-took a little getting use to and if I remember correctly gas was 35 cents gal Sunoco 102octane?----JoeG
