Baldwain Motion chevrolet weas one of the great muscle car dealerships back in the day, they built some incredible cars, and still are today, Baldwin Motion was essentially two comapnies combined, Baldwin Chevrolet, and Motion Performance, when these two companies got together and done their thing, it made magic, and motion still does today, they build one of the meanest camaros I have ever seen.

Like any other super car from the 1960's the engine was what the car was centered around, and Baldwin Motion done a good job to insure that this was one of the most powerful engines
ever built.
You could quite litterally make this car what ever you wnated it to be, it was a true American super car, from the high performance engine, to the dyno tuned suspension.
