69 BM Chevelle SOLD

[MYSTERYCHEVELLE]

When the car was in my garage and I prepared it for it’s First SALE, I thought it was very interesting when Interest and Price was less because unlike most any other Musclecar, people were less willing to pay $$$ because it was numbers matching. When does that happen? Buyers are less in because it has its original born with engine (396) and not it’s Dealer Replacement non factory engine!?

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.
