67 (YENKO) baldwin motion identification question
 

hi, my name is matt i'm a new member and i am attempting to restore my third 1st gen. camaro. I purchased it in kingston ,Ma. about ten years ago- the body still looks new,it looks like a plain jane 327 rs coupe, but its got frontend discs (original) a big swaybar, a crazy looking cross member, line lock near the steering pump on the cowl, 4spd,and posi removed from car- motor long gone but man I purchased it from said he bought it off local vette dealer who took a 427 out of it for a drag car, car came up from new york. Both of us at the time new nothing about camaros with 427's in them so I never knew to research about motion cars till now, I have the original registration which shows the car registered in amittyville ny, I don't know how close that is to Baldwin chevrolet, car has never been out of a trailer or garage its whole life- its way too good a shape for the northeast, also the heaterbox looks original and the hoses are way over on the passenger side, I have an original 327 camaro and its hoses are in the middle and it didn't come with anything this has underneath, also the car seems to have a traction bar bracket under the passenger floor but no bar , I just started reading about this in some books but I'm lost, this ain't an ss- it has no badging or ss hood, but all components are orignal (flat hood)and the car has bigblock or z28 vintage braking and suspension parts, before I restore it , I like to know what it is-what should I look for, My other two are a 327 67 coupe and a 69 ss 396 w/ protecto plate both I restored myself from the ground up so I familiar with both's components and where to look to verify but I can't figure this one out. any help? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

It could also be an L30/M20 car. When combined with those RPO's several SS components were also used.

just filled out bio, I got a 1 and 2 year old hanging on me right know so I might have to bale from the forum at any time, Its not an L30/M20 because of the heater box, mine has the hoses near the passenger fender so the bigblock would fitalso on z28s, I looked at the photos on camaro.org it shows the L30 heaterbox hoses in the middle of car like all 327s and 350s. I have areal 327 I already restored and heaterbox is in the middle ,this isn't. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]

Could you please post your cowl tag info? This will also help tell you what you have. Vin number could also help if it was a 67 yenko. Roger

hi, and thanks for your help- can't give you the cowl tag, because its not original, and the vin tag on the door jamb is gone someone wanted them real bad to rip those rivets out. I cleand up the top of cowl where the vin is embosed starts w/ 7N then looks like 229711 could be 717 or 777 I'll have to keep cleaning it. thanks , by the way it has vintage traction bars bolted to both monoleafs still in car.

car,s cowl is rivted but loose and the lower left corner is broken off, ( probably pryed), color code says deepwater blue w/ blue interior , car is original red -under the front fenders along cowl where it joins up to door hinges, started scratching white coat of paint off all body parts, they sprayed right over original paint w/ white coat has to be 15yrs old at least. I keep finding red underneath everything, keep on scratching I hit sheetmetal. Ever see copper tubing used from master cylinder to valve and linelock ?(old).

Without a trim tag, vin or documentation you're going to have a hard time trying to determine what it orginally was... plus you'll never be able to sell it as anything other than a non-titled roller. It sounds like a cool car for building a full-time racer out of though.

Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb
 

its got a vin screwed in of coarse 12337 (6cylinder), the cowl tag still could be the real deal,when I mean loose I can just pull the top back enough to see white paint like on top of the cowl, the front is sprayed black like the engine compartment, looks to never have been repainted inside, the break in the cowl tag is the very left corner not between the rivets or affecting the codes in any way, looks like someone tried to pull it off but gave up? Ma. laws are real lax on cars prior to 1970, a number, 50$ , a wait in line at the DMV equals a new title, used to free till a few years ago. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
