Nice ... Baldwin has always been on my wish list.
Nice color.

 

Droooling......

 

Hmmmmm... that car looks like it's RED, but the ad says it's rare Corvette Bronze.

 

Here's a link to 69Pace's site with lots of pix of Corvette Bronze Camaros....the Mecum pix may be in a different shade due to light angles and/or processing? http://www.69pace.com/paint1968corvettebronze.htm

 

Just another reason I liked my hood choice....M/B look

Would love a real one, but wife likes a roof over our heads, food in our bellies, and a warm place to sleep.....go figure

 

View the Camaro at yenko.net and search for Lud Renner 2011 is the year of the posts.
Beautiful

Wow, What an impressive 68 Motion Camaro.

 

Must be a hardtail not to get any tire rub. What did they do to the suspension ?

 

When torque is applied, the snubber hits the spring eye and lifts the body - no rub.
IF I were to buy it, I'd put some 10.5's (width) on it, but this would be dependent upon the wheel width.
I had 10.5's on my stock suspension and they were okay - no rub.

As far as normal driving, you live with it.

 

here is an article on the car on Marty Shorr's site
He did the original ads for Motion Performance

The car originally had a tear drop hood but was replaced in 1969 with the Motion L88 hood

the 1967 style traction bars Motion used didn't have a snubber
I have a set of those and they make the car ride hard

They used a spring clamp on the front that clamped on the spring

Motion also used a heavy duty shock called Cure Rides

there probably was not much travel in the rear suspension

 

As I learned....higher HP/TQ cars don't squat on launch, the rear lifts (tire to body gap)....In a straight line I doubt there was an issue, but on the street with lefts and rights.....may be a lil' rub.

If you watch close (no slow-mo) you'll see.

And a slow-mo....

 

In that last article you posted Joe, they call it a "Super-Bite suspension with traction bars and shocks". Back then it looked like maybe an inch between the tire and fender lip (quarter), now it looks to have bigger meats and ready to burn those moldings right off there.

Thanks

Sometime when you get a chance E, some pics of your old "war horse" would be much appreciated... :yes:

 

One of the reasons the Motion cars were very good drag cars is because Motion would set the Camaros up like his record holding house drag Camaro that he ran in M/P in 67 and 68 and other years


So if you wanted to pay up , you can get a 10sec M/P drag car for the street
not bad for 1967-68

here is his 67 and 68 house drag cars

 

The bid was up to $100K and no sale, if I remember right. . . .watched for several hours as the sleet was doing its thing outside. Wow the Mopars were bringing big bucks!

 

on the Mecum web site it says was bid to $405K but the car is still available

It was said to sell for about $500K last time it was sold

 

Went to $405K, no sale. Reserve must have been $500K around there.

 

and a warm place to sleep.....

How's that working out for you right now Doug?
Little chilly up there?

 

l

still snowing :sad:

 

$405 was house bid.
