Baldwin Motion chevelles

[mr454ss]

This question may have been asked before,but I am interested in the Baldwin Motion chevelles and I am curious about seeing all the 1970 chevelle die cast cars out there and have never seen one in any publications and was wondering if motion built any of these cars,as it would be hard to improve upon the ls-6 cars of 1970.Also what years did Motion build up any chevelles,I have seen a
"73" recently!

A member of the site is currently having a '69 Baldwin Motion Chevelle restored. the '73 was previously advertised on the site for sale. Also there was a purported '67 BM Chevelle for sale on Ebay a couple of months back. Total basket case for $75K (didn't get any bids)

Needless to say, there weren't many built and fewer that survived.

[rat tuned]

any info on BM chevelles seems to be difficult to get. the only info I can seem to get is old magazine articles.

I remember seeing Motion Chevelles (in magazines) every year from 1966 to 1973. Most of them didn't have custom Motion stripes.

aloha, not sure if this will help but theres a MB Dealer Catalog that is said to have all the info on what the cars had along with part numbers and such on E-bay right now. Reserve is something like $400.

Sorry my mistake its not a MB catolog its a Berger Chevrolet Chevy Parts Catalog --e-bay item 1808643762

Sorry

What would you members think of building up a clone 70 Baldwin Motion chevelle,I would not try to sell or even show it as the real mccoy,but wonder what a organization like Super Chevy Show would think of such a car,I have the Black die cast with orange stripes and orange interior and it is real sharp looking car,I owned 2- 454 ss chevelles recently and am looking to restore something a little different this time around,what do you think!!

My personal opinion is I generally don't like clones. That being said, I do understand and can appreciate the fact that not everyone is fortunate enough to have the means to purchase the real McCoy, so it is more of a personal choice. If I owned a clone, I think that I would get tired of the "is it real" question.

I have real cars and clones and get just as many 'is it real?'questions on both.
Can I still post if I admit that I am Super Car less?

But if Motion didn't build any of these cars,what could it hurt,I just want to have something everyone else does not have,a modified 70 chevelle ss with the motion look with a 502/502 fuel injection,the means is not the problem,the problem is no such car to buy!!

I'm down with restomods done in a style that appeals to you , whether its Yenko/Motion/Shelby or whatever. That's kind of the best of both worlds: gets you a car you've always wanted, but modern performance. Plus there's no appearance of forgery. I'm kind of mystified when people clone something and get down to casting numbers, dates, etc. Or do it to "concourse" level. It makes no sense, building a perfect and correct fake (oxymoron) and invariably ends up costing as much or more than the real deal.

But a Motion styled 502 EFI '70 SS Chevelle with Global West or H-O suspension and 12" brakes sounds like a ball to me. I think some of the new 17" Cragar S/S would add to the outlandish Motion style and add a modern bent as well.
