1973 Chevelle Phase 3 Baldwin Motion

#1 on my list. 1 of 1. That's a lot of ones. I'd like to see what the heck that thing is in the engine bay..kind of between the bottom of where the canister should be and the fender... There are currently 2 Hone Overdrives on e-bay for $4k & $3,500.

That thing in the fender well is the alarm siren. It had the key hole on the front fender and a barrell key to activate it.

Even though I love Chevelles, I'm not impressed by big-buck cars because of all the press & hype they got over the years, even with all the one-off stuff, factory goodies etc. It's still just a Chevelle.....

not meaning to stir the pot here Pila jus sayin


yea just a Chevelle with

It has a modified 427 L88, M22 4-speed transmission, Lakewood Blow Proof Bell Housing, Hone-O-Drive overdrive (30% gear reduction), 4.88 12 bolt posi rear, Motion Mallory CDI Ignition, Holley 1150 CFM Dominator Carb, Ansen Sprint 15 x 8.5" wheels, Coni-Coil over front shocks, Superbite rear suspension, Hooker Headers and Side Pipes, Sun tach and gauges.It has 550+ horsepower and can run the 1/4 mile in 11.5 seconds. The steep rear end gearing becomes a respectable 3.42 to 1 with the overdrive engaged, making this quarter mile racer suitable for the streets.

Don't forget 12 MPG.
To me this 73 represents what our gen cars would have been without all of the EPA crap that came into play back then.
As far as the alarm siren...Holy Cow...bet that's real loud judging by the size of it.

There isn't a part listed which couldn't be purchased from the aftermarket to build exactly the same car for much less money the original. Yeah, it's not the actual Motion car, but you could drive and have fun it.

It is eye-candy alright. I guess I'm just old & too practical

I like the ones you can drive whenever and wherever you want. If I spent that kind of money on a car I would park it in my livingroom and just look at it. Be affraid to take it out. Buts thats me!

Here's some pic's for Documentation for all to enjoy. These are courtesy of the current owner, Rod Kotiga and yes it's still for sale. The Last pic was courtesy of Martyn Schorr from Motion who referred me to Mr Kotiga. Thank you both for "sharing with the masses".

If I had it, I would be out there using it for what it was built for. Tearing up the streets and running it at the track every weekend.

No it had an over drive for the 4.88 rear end which was separate from the regular trans shifter.

You would have to settle for a gear vendors over drive today,which is still cool.

Ooohhhh. Would make for some hard core launches having all fours grabbing in a big block with a four speed!
