Default Thought you might appreciate this....

Hello. I am MartyO and I am posting under my brother Jeff's screen name.

I was telling Jeff about these items that I saw on another forum I am on.

The fellow who owns the paper work, owned the car. Back in 1967, he ordered a Baldwin Motion Camaro while doing a tour with the Marine Corps. He reported that the dealership was really helpful and even arranged for him to be picked up at the airport so he could arrive home in the new car. He said that the owner of the dealership (Joel Rosen) was really a class act. Below is the letter he carried with him while serving in Southeast Asia. He had the blueprinted motor option. He had the car six months before it was destroyed in a wreck!!

The paperwork:

Jeff, believe this is the option list for the '68 model year. Beginning in '69 you could get an automatic trans.

WOW! That is some incredible paperwork!

For anyone interested in Motion cars, please see the post in the Motion section.

In addition to the TEN Motion machines that will be on display at Chevy Vettefest, a Buddy of mine will be set up in the swap area with some of my original ads and literature. There WILL BE a specific section devoted to Motion and Nickey magazine ads, and I have some great ones to offer.

Also...stay tuned for another Baldwin-Motion related announcement.
