OK, it doesn't look THAT bad. . . although it doesn't look much like a Corvette either . . .

:confused: :skep:

Still, I'd drive it for the right price. Because I'm :crazy: :jester

It would look better with black smoked lenses.

Do a search on the cars modified/sold by "Baldwin Motion" in New york, those headlights look familiar. Motion cars are VERY rare and VERY valuable.

I don't think it is a "Motion Vette", though it would fit the era.. Engine and bay look horrible, and "stock". The rear spoiler looks like a 78-82 aftermarket add on.
Side pipes ok, but that is about it. I think Motion quit with the vette's in the early 70's
I think Bladwin is still around.. I remember reading an article in either 'vett, vette fever or some other mag recently (3-4 mos) It referred to some guy getting his car "cerfified" as a Motion Vette.. Check the back isues for 3-4 mos or run a search as suggested above on Baldwin Motion...

I dont think it looks good but somebody did a ton of work to get it like that. What I dont get is why do all that to the headlights and leave the rest of the car in bad condition. And why in the heck would you put that tail fin on a beautiful 69 rear end?

barf.
i'm not a big fan of the originality crowd but at $4200, it would take too much money just to make that car NOT ugly.

Ok, yah that is one scary looking vette:eek:. For one it may be a 69 vette but look at the gills on the side, those are not the gills of the 68-69 shark but look more like the gills of the 73-79 vette. So this vette may have seen a front end wreck, if not anything more.
