Default Re: yenko camaro

Baldwin/Motion was a colaboration between dealer and independant performance shop.

Mr. Norm's was the largest Dodge dealer in the country not only selling performance cars but major State contracts for fleet vehicles. It was actually a physically tiny dealership that rented space all over the neighborhood to store cars. They did in house dyno tuning and both Mopar and aftermarket upgrades. The dealership was actually an old coverted gas station.

Yenko started by installing new crate 427s in cars the factory would not install them in until he discovered that he could order them that way through the COPO program.

Any dealership in the country COULD have done the same thing as these guys did. Mr. Norm's Grand Spalding Dodge had the advantage over all the others simply because he was located in the largest city (Chicago) of all these other dealers.
