Red would be a lot more appealing to me than the green/green combo for sure!
Besides the colours this car checks all the boxes for me. RS, side pipes, cragars and stance, car looks awesome in the pics.

I will only ever be able to admire these cars from a distance due to the $.

Still remember seeing this recreation during my only visit so far to BJ. Sold for around $30,000. Should have bought it!

I think you are comparing auction results for 70-73 Baldwin Motion and Motion Camaros versus 1st Gen. Yenko Camaro auction results. That's apples and oranges.

A real 1st gen. Baldwin Motion Camaro would sell for considerably above the same year Yenko Camaro if in similar condition. There's probably about 10 documented 1st gen. BM Camaros in total and each one is unique versus about 300 1st gen. Yenko Camaros.

Yes I was. I know there were hardly ANY 1 gen BM cars, and NO really YSC cars. To me, the BM cars are a bit more appealing just due to the fact they have modification to get them to perform better.

Looking at the 69-70 Nova supercar thread, make me wonder how some of those modified L88 Nova's or the 454/500+hp car ran. Headers, slicks gears, intake and cam changes MUST be a 1/2 second minimum quicker.

Back in the early '70's to be running a legit low 11 or high 10 second car would have been king.

The green/white stripe is Mark Timkens old car. I know he had way more than that in it. Mark is a perfectionist.

This is the car on the cover of AMT BM model kit.
