1970 Motion Chevelle at russo & steele scottsdale
 

pulled this from the online catalog. They call it a Baldwin Motion Chevelle but it was originally sold by Curry Chevrolet. They talk about extensive Motion mods but all I see is a set of headers. Anybody know the details on this car? it looks great, love black cherry.

Off topic but Curry is still in business and is relatively unchanged since the 1970s.

I do not know the car.

I find it misleading. It's not a true motion-baldwin car and I am surprised R&amp;S would not know the distinction.

John from R&amp;S called me on Jan 4th to specifically ask me about this car. I told him just what others have said above and he said they would list it according so I too am confused.

It appears to me that whomever wrote out the brochure may have thought that &quot;Baldwin Motion&quot; could have been the name of one company.
In other words, they didn't know that Baldwin Chevrolet was a dealership and that Motion Performance was a seperate speed shop. The auction company may have not noticed this until it was to late.
I've seen plenty of instances were an outside source screwed things up because they didn't have a clue about the subject matter.
The brochure clearly states that the car was purchased at Curry Chevrolet. You would think that anyone who may be serious about buying this car is going to know basic history about a true Motion car purchased through Baldwin and one that was brought in from another dealership. I don't see a problem.

For a savy educated Baldwin-Motion buyer,I agree with you.
For a new uneducated Baldwin-Motion buyer,I forsee a car being returned to R&amp;S,once it's been realized.
There is a difference in value between a car bought new @ Baldwin Chevrolet,then pushed over across the street to be modified by Joel Rosen @ Motion Performance,compared to a car bought new @ Curry Chevrolet,then shipped to be modified by Joel Rosen @ Motion Performance.

How much?...maybe this particular Chevelle will define.
