SUDDENLY IT'S 1969!

The SS-427 and Phase III Camaros are contemporary executions of Baldwin-Motion classics, with performance and head-turning-power worthy of the iconic brand.
And, for the first time: A choice of coupe or convertible!

In the day Joel Rosen's legendary Gen One SS-427 and Phase III Camaros established Baldwin-Motion as the premier builder of limited-production, unlimited performance Chevrolet specialty cars. The Motion-built AHRA & NHRA National Record setting big-block A//MP Camaros, driven by Joel Rosen, Bill Mitchell and Dennis Ferrara further enhanced the brand’s reputation.

The people responsible for the originals that defined an era of excessive force and the soul-stirring 540 Camaro SuperCoupe -- Joel Ehrenpreis, Larry Jaworske, Joel Rosen and Marty Schorr -- have done it again. The latest addition is a pair of updated, power-packed Baldwin-Motion big-block Camaros that continue the tradition that started shortly after Chevrolet introduced its first generation Camaro in 1967.

New for 2006, the 1969 Baldwin-Motion SS-427 and Phase III Camaros capture the timeless passion and performance of two of the most sought-after ultra-performance Chevys. They are available in coupe or convertible models and come standard with air conditioning and contemporary creature comforts, handling and braking.

Baldwin-Motion is building a limited number of 450-horsepower SS-427 and 600-horsepower Phase III Camaro coupes and convertibles in SS (Super Sport), RS (Rally Sport) or SS/RS trim. Prices start at $169,000 for the SS-427 Classic and $189,000 for the Phase III 540 Camaro. Warranty coverage is available.

“My SS-427 and Phase III Camaros are the spiritual successors to the Baldwin-Motion big-block Camaros I built in 1969. They will be custom built to order and showcase unmatched quality, fit, finish and performance. Each of the serialized vehicles will be performance tested, fully documented and signed by me. Total production is capped at just 12,” noted Joel “Mr. Motion” Rosen.

All Baldwin-Motion Camaros are built using premium-quality 1969 Camaro “donors”, have original 1969 Chevrolet VIN numbers and can easily be registered and insured anywhere in the world.

Standard with 450 hp in SS-427 trim and 600 hp in the Phase III 540, Rosen’s new Camaros deliver peerless performance and are fully streetable. In the Baldwin-Motion tradition, only the purchaser’s imagination and finances limit engine size, power and luxury upgrades.

“If a buyer is interested in more power, we can supply supercharged or twin-turbo big-blocks displacing up to 720 cubic inches, rated at 650 to 1,000-plus horsepower. Baldwin-Motion Camaros are styled to stun and engineered to run,” said Larry Jaworske, CEO, MOTION, LLC.

After a successful re-launch of the Baldwin-Motion and Motion brands and winning the "General Motors Best Design" Award with the 540 Camaro SuperCoupe at the 2005 SEMA Show, Baldwin-Motion's return to the marketplace was validated for a second time at Barrett-Jackson.

Collector Ron Pratte paid $486,000 including buyer's premium for the SuperCoupe at the Scottsdale auction.

"With restored and documented Baldwin-Motion big-block Phase III Camaros changing hands at $400,00O and up and buyers willing to pay up to $750,000 for ‘real’ Phase III Corvettes, the demand for genuine Baldwin-Motion specialty cars has never been greater," added Joel Ehrenpreis, President, MOTION, LLC.

IS THERE A PHASE lV CAMARO IN YOUR FUTURE?

Chevrolet may be a little late coming to the party, but the proposed new Camaro has what takes to "spank" the 'Stang and get the Bowtie Brigade dancin' in the streets!

On January 13, Jim Mateja, Auto Editor, Chicago Tribune, headlined his coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, "CAMARO DRIVES OFF WITH AUTO SHOW BUZZ", FOLLOWED BY "THE CHEVROLET CAMARO CONCEPT STOLE THE SHOW."

We at Baldwin-Motion couldn't agree more!

GM's Director Of Design, Tom Peters, who owns a 1969 Camaro powered by a ZL-1 engine, truly defined what a modern day production musclecar should look and run like. The fully functioning Camaro concept, built on an 112-inch wheelbase GTO platform, is powered by a 400-hp LS2 6.0 small-block hooked up to a six-speed transmission. Like the Baldwin-Motion 540 Camaro SuperCoupe, it has 14-inch disc brakes all around. Kudos to Peters and his staff.

According to GM Vice-Chairman and product guru, Bob Lutz, the production target is 120 to 150,000 units per year. And GM's Vice-President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, a 1969 Camaro owner, was also quoted in the Chicago Tribune, "A convertible is in the works."

Kris Horton, working with Joel Rosen and Larry Jaworske, penned the prototype Baldwin-Motion SuperCoupe design, and he’s been feverishly working on concepts for a limited-production Phase IV version of the next generation Camaro. Fresh from winning GM's Best Design Award at SEMA for the SuperCoupe, Horton is one of the hottest young automotive designers around.

"When Chevrolet builds the next generation Camaro, Baldwin-Motion will be ready with a Phase IV version available from select Chevrolet dealers. In the tradition of the original Baldwin-Motion Camaros, the Phase IV Camaro will be quicker, faster and turn more heads than any new musclecar from Motown. Like the SuperCoupe, I'll sign each one," said Joel 'Mr. Motion' Rosen.

BALDWIN-MOTION, THE LEGEND LIVES!

The ultimate performance car icon of the Supercar Sixties
and Seventies, the BALDWIN-MOTION big-block Camaro,
returns for a limited engagement.

Joel Rosen and Marty Schorr, the people responsible for the ground-pounding, take-no-prisoners 1967-1974 SS and Phase III 427 & 454 Chevrolet Camaro, Nova, Chevelle and Corvette supercars, are re-launching the Baldwin-Motion and Motion brands...and a new, cutting edge 1969 Camaro! The Launch Edition of the new Baldwin-Motion Camaro SuperCoupe, powered by a 700-plus horsepower fuel-injected, all-aluminum 540-cubic-inch Merlin/Motion big-block, began at the SEMA Show in November, 2005.

Baldwin-Motion big-block Camaros set the standard for street performance and left their marks in the NHRA and AHRA drag racing record books during the peak of Detroit's Ponycar/Supercar era. Today, legitimate examples are mega-valued and highly coveted by top Musclecar collectors. A restored and fully documented (late-production) 1969 Phase III 454 Camaro recently changed hands for $400,000. The Motion King Cobra race car, built by Joel Rosen, brought $525,000 at the Russo & Steele auction in Scottsdale, AZ in January 2005! 

"Our new Camaro taps into the heritage, horsepower and high energy of our original 1967-1969 Baldwin-Motion big-block Camaros, plus showcases highly sophisticated styling, modern technology and a proprietary powertrain, tubular chassis and four-wheel independent suspension. It is an eye-popping, high-velocity, air-conditioned road warrior that will deliver racetrack levels of performance,” said Joel Rosen.

"To turn my dream into reality, I'm working with top stylist/designer, Kris Horton, legendary engine builder, Bill Mitchell who built original Baldwin-Motion supercars at Motion Performance and built and drove our record-setting 1968 Motion Supercar Club A/MP Camaro race car, and Phil Somers, one of the top Musclecar coachbuilders in the country."

"Since each new Baldwin-Motion Camaro will be built to order, there will be a full menu of luxury and performance options for purchasers to choose from, including 'boosted' engines to 1,000 horsepower. Bragging rights are standard," added Rosen.

The car was unveiled in the Sony Xplod booth at SEMA, November 2005
