It looks like a nice unrestored 69 Road Runner with a 383 and possibly some Motion upgrades. How does Baldwin fit into the picture? To my knowledge they only sold GM products.

Motion 'Shop Car' sure - without docs, tough to say. I hope its real... nice car
I emailed with the seller. He has nothing from Motion but has been in chat with Joel

Motion did Mopars as conversion or hop ups..I have an article on a cool 73 Dart/Duster... somewhere.

Cool piece. I guess he could get signed paperwork from Joel it it is authentic.

The problem is that so many people confuse "Baldwin" and "Motion" and assume them to be a single entity.

Baldwin was Baldwin Chevrolet correct? So <span style="font-style: italic">if</span> it was tuned by Joel it would be just a Motion car then.

His buy it now seems plenty high with the body damage and rust issues.

Basically, yeah. It may very well be a car that was set up and tuned by Motion, which is a neat bit of history, but the term "Baldwin-Motion" is only properly applicable to Chevrolet's ordered new through Baldwin Chevy with the Motion mods as part of the original order. That's my understanding, at least.

There are a couple of issues here. First the car was supposedly built to be exported? The owner was over in Vietnam. Why the hell would you ship a car over there???? Then there's the issue of the build sheet. It wasn't properly aligned when it went through the printer hence all the addtl options being added to the car?? That build sheet doesn't even have the vin on it? It looks suspect.
