Yup...every one had the car's serial number engraved in the dash plaque. The seller will have serious trouble getting someone to bid without good docs, and pictures of the car and ads won't cut it.

 

The car is now @ $85k :eek: :crazy:

Makes no sense. Are these bidders naive :confused:

 

First of all, Rosen made his own body kits and other mods. There are no Whitney parts on these cars. Yeah, it's gaudy, but it was the late 60's/early 70s and that was the thing. I bet you had striped bell-bottoms back then (if you were even born yet).

Yeah, Don Yenko's intials all over the seats of YOUR car isn't overdone?? Whatever. And ugly is in the eye of the beholder. Your mom probably thinks you're not ugly.

You are definitely in the minority on this, whether today or in the '60s/'70s. Baldwin Motion is arguably the second most respected COPO name behind Yenko. But it's your money, spend as you choose.


Cause the COPOC 'velles and Camaros were kicking the stock Corvette's azz. Nuff said.


Again, Rosen's parts were of his design and manufacture. Yenko merely added and engine and a paint job, and there are plenty of fake Yenkos out there. Anyone with a few bucks could try to make a fake Baldwin Motion car because Rosen sold the parts to do it. I spoke with him a few years ago when I found what I thought was a "real" Motion car. Yes, he said it was $1500 to authenticate it, but he also told me there were WAY more fakes than real ones and gave me a few clues on how to tell the difference. He saved me $1495 (it was a long distance call) and yet you think he is profiting from this? If someone is stupid enough run in with the cash before asking any questions they deserve what they get. If you approach people with intelligent, patient questions you will frequently get the same response.

A fool is quickly separated from his money. Mr. Rosen struck me as no fool, though he has evidently met many in his day.
