Default Baldwin -Motion at it again.

For those of you who grew up loving Muscle cars, you probably knew what a Yenko Camaro was....or Chevelle, Corvette and Nova.
....For those that REALLY loved them.....you also knew what a Baldwin Motion Camaro was.

Like Don Yenko did back in the 60's....So did a dealership Called Baldwin Chevrolet. They teamd with Motion Performance, and realased the Baldwin-Motion Camaro (they also did Corvettes and continued work into the 70's)

Well.......for 427,000.....they will make you a brand new '69 Camaro thats been updates to todays standards.

WOW, great find, that is really cool, I wish i had the money. I've always been a fan of that L-72 hood that came on the COPO 427 cars. My first car was a 72 cherry red Nova SS that was sold from Don Yenko's dealership in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania.

That is one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen, and my neighbor owns an aztek. It looks like they took a Camaro, which is striking in its stock form, and said 'How can we make this all wrong?' Those humps over the rear wheels, the 'widebody' look is ridiculous. The front air dam add on destroys the legendary fascia. The forced beltline ruins the lines of the car. And those wheels, while appropriate on some cars do not fit at all on a Camaro. I'll take an original, bottom of the barrel '69 any day of the week over this.

Im not too sure about the back end either.....
.....I just thought it was really cool that a performance shop form the 60's-70's is making a HUGE return.

I hope they stay at it.....I like to see whats instore next.!!

BTW......I'll be watching the Barrett-Jackson to see what this one brings. (a hopefully get a better look at it.)

Saw this car at PRI, while it is a nice car it's definately not worth the asking price. The show car on display's lines and body gaps left "something to be desired" in my books, definately not what I would call a near half million dollar car.
