> Back in the heady muscle-car days, Chevrolet dealers could use something called Central Office Production Orders (COPO) to top off Camaros and Chevelles (and anything else they wanted to) with non-standard motors of the big-block persuasion. Among the dealers best known for marketing such high-performance tuners were Pennsylvania’s Yenko Chevrolet and Long Island’s Baldwin Chevrolet. The first created the ZL-1 Camaro, which can now grab seven figures at auction, while the second sold what it called Phase III Supercars in partnership with a local speed shop, Motion Performance, under the Baldwin-Motion banner. History lesson over. The Baldwin-Motion mojo returned last year with a $427,000 high-concept Camaro displayed at the 2005 SEMA show by Motion LLC, founded by the original owners of Motion Performance. Now, the company is offering new Phase III Camaros, priced in the Aston Martin range; a bargain considering the price of an original is in the Van Gogh range.

I’m not too crazy about the body mods they made on the 69. Too large of vents on the rear quarter too. The black one looks like they widened the front fenders too. I’m all for Baldwin Motion to be back on the scene, but they don’t have to mod a 69 Camaro as much as they seem to be.

I saw the red one shown above at SEMA, and while there was some great workmanship on it, I wasn’t drooling thinking that I had to own it.

Plus they have to put it within a realistic price range too. No $427,000 crap pricetag on it.
