How 'bout this one. My wife and I in front of my first new car (69 Baldwin/Motion Z/28), my sister's SS350 and Dads's Caprice on the street..Those were the days.....

Well.
I bought the car new in March 1970 at Baldwin Chevrolet. I was going back and forth, trying to make up my mind between a Boss 302 and an Z and then finally a Sunoco commercial, which was a helicopter view of Mark Donahue tooling around a road course (with sound) came on TV and made up my mind and I was down the block to Baldwin Chevrolet, whom I knew had about a dozen left over 69's on the lot. I didn't care for the new (1970) body style. There was only one on the lot that had an Endura bumper and that's the one I bought. I'd hate to think of what equipment the other's might have had (cross ram. JL8, who knows..?)but all I knew was that I wanted the Endura bumper, which also was my fav color,Cortez silver. When the salesman/owner (Ed Simone)pulled the paperwork on the car he found that it was an ordered car that was sent up to Motion for headers, carb reject, igition re-curve and &quot;custom&quot; spark plug wires, but apparently the original deal fell through and the car was never delivered. Well I bought it that day for $3208, out the door. The picture I posted was taken in 1974, the day I sold the car when we bought our first house! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
I sold it for $6000 and figured I did real good on the deal. BTW, car had 4300 miles on it when sold...
Fred

Naw..I began looking for the car the early 80's with hopes of buying it back, but stuck out. NY DMV purged old license plates to cross reference to VIN and Baldwin Chev was long gone..could't believe that I didn't have anything left with a VIN on it.
..what an idiot... Even checked with Joel, but work order only referenced dlr veh stock #...like I said, what an idiot. hey..the car I sold for the Z was no slouch either...black 68SS 396/375.



Picture taken in &quot;Bohack&quot; parking lot off Grand Ave and St. Lukes Place in Baldwin.

Here's the Z in the same parking lot a year or so later:
