Where did he say Baldwin Motion? Exemplary car because of fantastic paper and retention of all Motion Performance goodies.

I figured it wasn't an &quot;original&quot; motion from other internet searches, and it has nitrous? I knew they didn't put that on in 1970-72 anyway. Still an amazing Chevelle though! And I've seen pictures of the '73, unique car but still kinda ugly...hate to say it but it's just my opinion [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

that's why I said it's not a good example of a 1971 Motion Chevelle. A 1971 Motion, built in 1977, will have many different parts then a 1971 car built in 1971.

It is still a nice Motion car, just not the same as a 1971 build.

I also like the 73 Motion Chevelle, it has a great hisory and paper

Here is a youtube video of a ride along in what is said to be a 1971 Baldwin Motion Chevelle.. You can see the car has what looks like the Phase III Corvette hoodscoop molded to the Chevelles Cowl Induction hood... Sounds and runs like a Motion car would.. You can tell it's a 4 speed car. but there is no outside shots of it and here are the only details listed:
&quot;1971 Baldwin Motion Chevelle ss 454 LS6 original&quot;
&quot;One of very few cars left! This one is original, same owner since early 70's. 5 min ride through Vermont, last min he cleans out the cobwebs. Thanks uncle John!&quot;

Does anyone know this car?

I saw that video too when I searched for it on google. Really wished they would show the outside of the car!

I also found a Muscle Car Review magazine from June? 2011 that has a 1974 Nickey Camaro and am about to order one of those for myself. </div></div>

Speaking of Nickey, here is Kevin Suydam's 73 Nickey Nova.

^ I saw that nova before on his website, looks good.

So back to the original question- Does anyone have any modern pictures of a Motion 1971-72 Chevelle's? There is the blue Chevelle that was modified later, but any originals out there?
