1968 Chevrolet Camaro Baldwin Motion Phase III Coupe Vehicle Profile

By 1968, Joel 'Mr. Motion' Rosen had mastered the art of combing real world performance with eye catching looks. He acquired new Chevrolets from Baldwin Chevrolet in Baldwin, NY, to modify into the fastest street cars of the 1960s. This Baldwin Motion Camaro is one of 4 to have the L-88 Corvette 427 cu. in. V8 engine conversion developing 600 horsepower. Motion guaranteed them to run 11.50 seconds in the quarter mile or your money back. Rosen said he never had to buy one back. A Texan ordered this car to street race and it is fitted with a toggle switch to kill the brake and tail lights in case of police pursuit.

This Phase III 427 cubic-inch L88 powered beast epitomizes the Baldwin-Motion attitude with a bevy of high performance options, including just about everything you would need for the street or the strip. With the signature graphics and fiberglass stinger style hood, this Camaro SS has a special aluminum high rise manifold, a dyno-jetted Holley carburetor, Motion/Mallory Super Spark ignition, tuned equal length headers, special free flowing mufflers, dual electric fuel pumps, a Phase III solid lifter cam and much more.
