My corvette club hosted a show last weekend and this car was there attracting lots of attention. The owner claimed it was a prototype. He got it from his brother in law who is in poor health. It has the L89 with a L88 cam. There was also a mid engine 63 that was built for the SEMA show in 2020.
Consensus which I concur seems to be the mid engine SWC may be an engineering marvel but ergonomically and practicality not so much.
The Baldwin Motion '68 is a a pertinent part of the muscle car wars history.
Thanks for sharing.
Perhaps I'm misreading your comment — did you mean, "The motion car is real (and) is worth a ton of money" or "The motion car is (if) real is worth a ton of money"?
Part of the display is a signed confirmation from Joel Rosen that it is one of their Motion cars. The whole letter isn't shown, but you can read most of it. The NCRS shipping report shows the destination was Baldwin Motion. Both of those are pretty air-tight for the car being legitimate.

Sorry, I just corrected my post. And yes, the paperwork certainly looks great. I remember seeing these Motion cars advertised in the car magazines back in the 60's while in HS. Who would have thought these expensive (for the day) cars like Motion, Yenko and others would be worth what they are today.
