Maybe …. Times have changed or at least this Buyer., found this car with its truck load of original paper docs and photos and original engine while still being a documented Baldwin Motion Chevelle to be a very valuable piece of Musclecar History.

Original Engine vs Non Original Engine….. hmmmmm
I don't believe original factory installed engines were high on Motion buyer's desireability list. The more radical they were configured and those containing the original parts as installed by Motion bring highest value from what I have seen.
