New Motion Camaro sold

The first (one of 12 to be built) Baldwin-Motion big-block 1969 Camaro has been sold to Ohio Chevrolet dealer Dave Flynn and will be delivered to his dealership next week.
“Mr. Motion” Joel Rosen is back in the car building business and debuted his first new car in many years last year at SEMA. That car, featured on the cover of the April 2006 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines, sold to an Arizona man for $450,000 at Barrett-Jackson in January.
The “new” dozen are limited-production SS-427 and Phase III big-block 540-cu.in. Camaros. The prices start at $169,000 and $189,000 respectively, said Marty Schorr, who is working with Rosen and Motion. Flynn’s Motion Red, Phase III Camaro is powered by a blueprinted, Kinsler-injected, 565-inch Motion big-block with aluminum heads and features a five-speed manual, new Motion IRS rear suspension, eight-piston front and three-piston rear Motion/SSB discs, rack-and-pinion steering, red leather interior, air conditioning and a Sony stereo. The delivered price is about $250,000. For more check out www.officialbaldwinmotion.com.
