Question on Baldwin Motion "Phases"

[Arctic Z Dan]

COPO, thanks for the info. I'm kind of new to the Super cars. I've always known the names of the cars (Yenko, B/M, Gibb, etc.) but am still learning about what the dealers put on their cars. So the Phases started w/ 3 and went through 6 then? Again, thanks for the info, Dan

Most of the Motion cars were built to customer order with a few built up and put on the lot at Baldwin Chevrolet. You can get anything from just headers and a dyno tune to an all out 10 second drag car. Motion also sold a package he called the Phase III. I don't believe he used any other Phase numbers other then III. The Phase III was the "big enchilada." and was the one featured in ads and magazines. It was expensive and included special paint, headers, sidepipes, fiberglass hood, wood steering wheel, big Holley, mag wheels, etc. This car was built to customer order also so there was some variance as to what parts were included. On the Corvettes, Motion had a Phase III and also a Phase III GT that included additional body modifications.

Thanks Joe. I thought I had heard you guys saying something about there being three different Phases, each escalating in price and ferocity on the drag strip. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for clearing things up for me. Dan

In this post Dan Chevy II cites from a Hi-Performance Cars Mag that there were six stages for the 1969 Corvette. What's the deal? Here's the link https://www.yenko.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000617.html
