Did not know that Baldwin/Motion made any convertibles much less a Vette. Can't fathom what that thing is worth!!

Wow, that thing's got some grunt. I love the slow-rolling starts and then just lay into it still boil the tires. I've never owned a big-block car, looks like I might have to remedy that.

I don't believe it's a Baldwin-Motion.

But they did make Vettes.

Yeah those stripes are similar to the old B/M cars. I think they had a stripe that ended in a point from the rear to the front of the car on each side. Still an awsome Vette!!

You have a way of finding some nice sounding machines Skipper.

I think physicians can now write prescriptions for such motors to enhance ones mental and physical well being.

I agree. It seems likely that's the look he was going for. Not forgettable, huh?
