I have noticed on Supercars (Kevin) website, is a lot of the cars that were in the Otis Chandler collection. Has this collection been dismantled? Where is the 69 Baldwin-Motion camaro that was in the Chandler collection, does Supercars have it now too? What kind of wing is that on the trunk of that camaro?

He still has the museum and there is a web site for the Otis collection.
The rally green "Mexican" Motion low miles 69 Camaro had a 3 post rear wing that was Motion's own design. I do not know where the car is currently.

The rear wing was made by Legendary Fiberglass out of PA. They are still in business, but I don't believe they make that particular design anymore.

I do! In 1994 I just missed buying it from Otis by about a day for $85K. The current owner has turned down $250K for it this year. Some on this site may know the owner as well, but I'm refraining from posting his info for his privacy. Turning down $250K is kind of like saying the car isn't for sale though.

They still make it but only for joel. There are a couple floating around.

I guess that would be the same as saying that is not for sale! Have any ZL-1's brought $250K? Why do some of the Motion cars have the "MOTION" emblems and some don't, was it owner preference or Motions decisions? Supercars, why are you selling your 69 B-M Camaro? Its a beautiful car!
