Also, notice the VIN on plain sight on the bill of sale. I sent it in a request to Mr. Rosen. Let's see if we get a reply... (notice the low production # also - 3021)

Uh...unless you also sent about $1200 with your request, you'll likely get nothing back from Joel...

[QUOTE=LukesVette] A little confusing is the bill of sale. It's from baldwin chevrolet and lists all of the motion stuff. Dod Rosen send them back to the dealership for sale??[/QUOTE]


Yes...the cars were ordered from Baldwin WITH all of the Motion options requested. The car would then be sent down the street to Rosen for the mods. Then it would go back to Baldwin for delivery to the buyer as a new vehicle, complete with a limited warranty from Baldwin Chevrolet...so any REAL Baldwin-Motion car would have this on the BOS.

The O/D engagement handle was indeed installed on the pass side console. It was connected the the Hone O/D unit with a rod type linkage from there. Not a lot of Motion cars got the O/D...it's fairly rare.

These cars intrigue the heck out of me. I am actually comtemplating a Motion-esque paint job (al la Blue with white accent Phase III) and the billet fuel cap. The headlight trick is out of my league...
