BALDWIN-MOTION PHASE III SS427 CAMARO

It’s not often that a real-deal Baldwin-Motion Camaro, complete with documentation, paper trail and a history of time spent in major Musclecar collections, comes up for sale. Quality cars, like this one, usually change hands through private sales. Most of the ones you see on auction sites have stories, stories without a good ending!

This one is the real deal. I personally know this car from times it was owned by the late collector, Steve Sandlin, and then in the incredible Kevin Suydam collection in Seattle, WA. Its current owner is having it showcased on BAT right now. BTW: I was the Baldwin-Motion brand’s co-founder with Joel Rosen in 1967 and author of  https://www.amazon.com/Motion-Performance-Tales-Muscle-Builder/dp/0760355606/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1493151743&sr=1-1&keywords=MOTION+Performance%2C+Tales+of+a+muscle+car+builder

Baldwin-Motion modifications on this example include a stinger-style hood, Holley four-barrel carburetor, Phase III electronic ignition system, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and a Mallory distributor as well as exhaust headers, a SureShift shift kit, raised suspension, traction bars, staggered five-spoke wheels, and dual electric fuel pumps.
