I might have found a BM 69 Vette

Would all of the 69 cars had the slanted rear windows? I've seen some that do and some that don't but they may be later year models.

no, they dont, nor do they all have the jag headlights either.
nor all the above mentioned items. they were made using a lot of the above items, but to customer specs., no two the same.
also, these items were sold thru a catalog so you could mail order these items, put them on yourself, or by someone else and come up with a car that looks like a motion vette.
that is one reason why to prove if it a "real motion" made car is to check with joel.
the vette i'm doing as some "motion" parts on it, but i am putting everything on myself.
thus only a "tribute/clone/what i like" motion vette.
will not have the value of a REAL motion !!!

pics will help, there are a lot of motion knowlegdeable guys on this site and i'm sure they can give better insight than me !

Yeah, that's true. The ONLY thing that has me thinking "maybe" is that the modifcations I was able to see in the brief period I looked at the car looked fantastic. Having lived through the 70's and worked at a Vette shop for a while I've seen my fair share of crappy flares. These look like they were born on the car. I would love to know from someone who has or has seen a real BM Vette if the flares look as good on the inside as they do on the outside on a BM car. These look great. The taillights also look perfectly done. When I was there last I spent my time checking out the drivetrain parts and verifying them. Next trip I am looking for Baldwin Motion evidence. I'll take pics and post them in a day or two.

COOL, CAN'T WAIT. I FORGOT TO ASK, DOES IT HAVE THE FIREBIRD TAILLGHTS?
opps , sorry for the caps!
also, are the flares bigger or smaller?

[karguy427]

Yes the firebird taillights and large flares.

Does the car still have factory headlights? Whats the interior look like? Without picks & details you may never findout!? But everyone here would be ready to help tho....
Goodluck...

Be very cautious with what kind of info you give out here. There are people reading this thread that will do anything to track down the car and buy it out from under you. Tie the car up legally if you can. Good luck.
