A select few dealers were actually doing what Joel was doing and modified some 70 Chevelles too,that looked identical to Joels product.

I would love to see some vintage pics or adds of "knock-off" Motion cars.
I realize there were other dealers doing mods, but each onw kinda had their own signature or style. Were there ones that really did a carbon-copy of what worked for Motion? |
Re: 1970 Baldwin-Motion Phase III SS-454 Chevelle
I was friends with Alex when he had this car in the 70's. I was a punk teenager at the time and went for many a ride in this car. When Alex owned it it had a 7" snorkel hood scoop with "WHITE LIGHTNING" painted in black letters on the side of the scoop.
I remember one afternoon when a few f my motor head friends were hanging out infront of the auto/metal shop garage door when Alex pulled up in this and got it stuck in first and second gear and my friend (who owned a 67 RS-SS convertable) had to crawl under the car and pop the linkage. I actually posted about this car on this sight several years ago hoping to find it was saved. THIS IS GREAT NEWS. Rich |
