I was at a car show a few years ago and the Camaro was there. Not sure who the owner was at the time, but it was pretty funny watching him try to move the car out of the building afterwards. It's like he was afraid to bring the engine up to a good rpm to pull out. He kept letting the clutch out at a little more than an idle and it kept bucking and stalling.
I wonder why someone hasn't added period correct carbs yet?

I'd venture to say that with two 4500's on top that this thing fouls and eats plugs like there's no tomorrow. If it also happens to still have a puck-style, clutch disc/pressure plate that's either in-or-out combined with a monster duration camshaft that doesn't do anything below 4000 RPM, I would imagine that a car like this wouldn't be very much fun to own for the average collector.

Just joined now, i'm the owner of this car, i bought a collection and this was one of the cars, the miles are actual' quarter mile at a time,chuck hamilton bought this car new and raced it as a Z28 and had motion convert it in 1974. Baldwin chevrolet was a small dealership and alot of their cars came from other dealerships and customers brought their cars to joel rosen because of the great things motion performance did to their cars, this forum is a great site and glad a member of this told me about it tonight, i have a couple motion cars and glad i found out about this great site.
