No, that's not it. Here is the picture of mine as found, and it is ugly! Mine did not have a Vinyl top. The quarters on mine are radiused only 2-3" higher by my measuring it. The Nova in the picture at Motion looks like it has much larger radius quarters, is a very cool looking car though. The hood sitting on top of my car in the picture is a non-SS hood from a different car.

Here is the engine compartment. The car had been out of use for 20+ years by my estimation. Note the welded tow bar brackets, the motor hold-down chain on the sub-frame, the fender well torched out for header tube.

Was that llama there as a guard animal for the car?

Does anyone know what ever happened to this car? With the thread about Zl1 corvettes and knowing at one time, or maybe still, Kevin owned the white Zl1 Vette. So I was on his site and I didn't see this car as "owned" or "previous collection cars"? He does list a 1969 Baldwin Nova Phase III. But it's not a side-pipe 1970 as stated in the first post.

An interesting read for sure. But having the BM conversion goodies is where the appeal is at least for me. Without them-drivetrain and such, it’s just another build what you want. On a side note, when I was at the ICC Nationals back in 88 or 9 era, Joel gave a seminar about Motion. It was very cool to a young one like me who didn’t know what they were.
