Here is one to talk about!
I like wondering around lost and find old cars alot, here is one that I came across. I have both C2 and C3 cars and I post up on the C2 more regularly and have done this on that forum for C2 cars. Thus I have a few C3 cars found! This looks to be a Baldwin Motion car.

Three examples of tired and waiting-for-the-next-step '70 through '72 models. Wish I had the time and the money, to save them all but the ship named Reality has sailed.
Thanks for sharing.

interesting indeed!! who knows what could be under the hood, whomever took the time to put all the other pieces in place could have left a rare and or exotic mil under the hood.I love old cars like that, its like a good mystery and a treasure hunt all rolled into one!!

For 500 dollars that would be in my driveway by now if I lived near it. I would buy it in a heartbeat. The owner should put it on ebay as a project car. He would be surprised.

Ok
:thu mbs:The first one is a claimed ZR-2 car!!!! But I did my due diligence and put the customary rude note on a car without For Sale signs on it, just asking about the car! I got the ZR-2 story second or fifth handed. You know how you start a conversation on one side of the room and then wait for it to come back around to you!
The second car has sat as it sits, for 1-1/2 years. Something like that would be fun if you strip off the suspension (clean it up and add some handling, buy a crate engine, add headers, cut the windshield frame down or off for some plexiglass, spray can paint it and take it to the track. There is no way it is going back on the highway from the condition it is in. It also looks better in pictures!
The gold one is locked up pretty good with guard dogs peeing on it. That one looks like someone love's it a little bit still! Especially if they have guard dogs, pissing on it!
I actually have a bunch more, but I was hoping others would post up interesting things just sitting around. For almost all of the C2 car in similar shape that I have found while driving around LOST, I have put a price offer to buy on the windshield! I got my 1968 from doing that!!

And they were Corvette designed and not adapted!
Images of Baldwin Motion and their catalog jump right to mind. I would not bet on the ZR-2 story, but then again-- this is exactly what might have happened to one!!!! I would be more inclined to think as it sits that it may have a BM connection. Also I won't say where this one is, because of the famous guy's shop that is practically right next door (real famous guy!).
