Those restomods are nice but I would take one of these over a restomod and you better believe I would drive it all the time. Can’t stand how people own these and just let them sit.
Mom got one after dad came back from Vietnam-three tours )....it was in the family until 1990 when someone stole it . Members of My family attend car shows all over searching , back tracking purchases....... My mother is not around anymore but dad is . It is worth a shot. Someone out there knows , I miss my mom.
I didn't realize how rare & valuable these cars are, I just junked 3 of these a few months ago, they were rotting in my backyard for years. People were always leaving notes under the wiper asking if they were for sale, it was getting on my nerves. What was I supposed to do? I'm just kidding, I'm dumb but not that dumb. I love these cars, there was a Motion Camaro at the GM Nationals last year that we all were drooling over. Great video, how many people can say they drove one of these let alone did a killer burnout in one? Outstanding!
I snuck out of my house to meet my girlfriend and her brother (my future wife and brother-in-law) to go see the Who concert. My future brother-in-law had just bought his black 1969 BM Camaro...I think I was around 13.
Used to drive by there occasionally. I remember it, my uncle lived near there. The first oil embargo in 1973-4 probably helped shut Baldwin down. That's the year I started driving 74. Worth 175 grand huh? Wow
As rare as these are and you're going to go with saying 'a few'? I mean, you're claim is insanely doubtful at best, and you're going to compound by saying more than one, lol. Ooooooook.......
@@NitroModelsAndComics Ok, that's makes much more sense. And is quite believable, as I know a guy that used to terrorize the streets in the late 80's with a nitrous big block Luv truck. No joke.
@@231mac There was an Isuzu P'up here in my city that had a 5.0 litre Ford in it. He sat a lot of guys down before it finally blew up. He probably had 20 bucks into it but proved you could go fast on short dough.
Wow ever since I read a story of a green 68' Camaro that was raced back in the 90's and saw 1997 the year of Pokemon I thought of Misty every time I see a Camaro especially the first and second gen Camaro. Plus a Camaro like the one above would definitely be the one an older Gary Oak would purchase and drive around and store his badges in plus almost always be in time for the next tournament while opening up that big 454
@John Matrix Nah, he's not. It's just a matter of taste, i like the standard front end but much prefer the split bumper RS. It's nice when we have choice!
I believe it, about 1974 I built a 67 Camaro RS Yenko clone, I found a 427/425 with a spun rod bearing, bought the body which had 456 gears and a 12 bolt, traction bars, etc. I got a good 4 speed and with a junk 780 Holley in ROUGH street tune it ran 12.7 at 109 with 25 inch slicks. i was only 19 then and worked at a gas station so i had no $$$$ but someone who raced more seriously said if i put a 800-850 double pumper and a Tarantula manifold i should easily get 12.4 or better. Motion L-88 was a stronger motor than what i had as it had a serious solid cam, 12.5 compression and a few other things. Mine had solids too but only 520 lift - lash so about .490 actual but a very smooth powerband and liveable idle. Considering the times of mid to high 14's that other cars ran at well under 100 mph back then i was happy with breaking into the 12's of course living with 456 gears isn't the easiest thing to do, try to stay off the highway as much as possiblePeople need to admit the new cars are superior, they idle like a pussycat and get almost 20 mpg all while being reliable and maintenance free they also have AMAZING top speed, something not available with 456 gears however seeing and driving a 67 RS with a 427 being so light the feeling is there. New SS is a TRUE 12 second car off the floor but yes without a doubt it doesn't have the charisma of a 67 RS with those mean llooking hideaway lights
Agreed Jim they Do especially the beloved charger the new Big block Camaros with that good 6 speed and I have seen them up close at a car show and the speedometer tells a tale and definitely earned their stripes as they can leave more than a few German and Japanese cars behind plus they can be modified to have the big and little combo of the cars of yore and I don't mean stretched out tires but real wide meats like for example a 18x8 front with 245/45R18 tires and 18 x10 with 295/40R18 rear Tires or those wide tires that fit the rear rim nicely but don't what size they are and have a 70's looking street machine and even painted in 70's street machine paint with the staggard look and I am starting to see this a lot with 80-2009 Ford Mustangs
Cause they were junk, i had Indy Profile S/S tires, the Newer Drag Radials out today are 100 times better than the Indy Profiles, especially Mickey Thompson Pro Drag Radials.
It you can find a supposed time machine of Nicola Tesla then you could and it would not surprised me if he was around that time of this Baldwin Camaro he would have purchased one for test purposes
What a timeless masterpiece. SO much cooler than all the big-wheeled restomod crap everyone's puking out today.

Had my chance at buying a blue one back in the 70s. I had know idea how special it was. If I could only go back in time. It would be mine.
ouch. That hurts.....
love the looks of that car!

My dream car. Always has been.
B.M. built the best true muscle/strip cars of the era
First saw one of these in a magazine. Had 4.88 gears but came with a Hone overdrive unit that reduced the gearing to 3.42....WOW!
and got only 6 mpg.......
@@chadhaire1711 .. stick to your Prius hot rods not for u

@@231mac I mean big block Camaros. I never raced a real Baldwin car. I'll be more specific next time.
And just so we are straight I would have smoked a Baldwin car as well. Unless they are sub 10 second cars, which I know they are not.

cut the old man some slack, he's gotten a lot quicker since then!
Sounds like the engine was missing prior to transmission shifting. Perhaps spark scatter.
@@davidbalentine2110 .. he hit the rev limiter and driver doesn’t know how to shift when needed
Please make no burn outs with these tires. Mickey thopson produces these indy profil tirers no more !!!

What he means is it has been repainted to where it's original color again. Not original paint.
