Some cars are just unmistakably cool from every angle. This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Baldwin-Motion tribute not only looks the part of the ultimate intimidator, but the restoration made sure to add plenty of power to back it all up, too. Baldwin-Motion is mentioned in the same breath as Yenko or Nickey in the Chevrolet communities. This hallowed performance car name only produced a handful of originals, which means buying one today will require forgoing a large house, and... so it'll make you nervous every time it leaves the garage. So the obvious solution is the Corvette you see here. This 1969 Stingray was restored only about 3k miles ago, and so the factory-correct Riverside Gold still have a vibrant respray. It makes for a terrific background for the iconic full striping package and scooped big block hood that came from ordering your Corvette through Motion Performance via Baldwin Chevrolet. Plus, those slotted mag wheels with Motion Performance center caps are a great touch. Even those who don't recognize these hallmarks will quiver at the racer fuel filler cap and massive side exhaust pipes. Because the black stripping looks so good against the gold paint, you'll really love the full black interior, too. After all, with a T-top sports car like this, it's great to have a well-coordinated package inside and out. A true Baldwin-Motion machine is a true driver's machine, and so the high-back bucket seat is supple and inviting. It feels good to grab the Hurst shifter with your right hand and the grippy sports steering wheel with your left one. Plus, the Stingray was built to keep you fully informed with all your readouts at eye-level, including the upgraded Sun Super Tach. But what you really want to know about is what's going on under the hood. The monster V8 is a ZZ454 performance crate motor that was installed around 2.5k miles ago. While the powerplant is fresh, it has the great classic look with the screen air topper and proper Motion polished valve covers. This V8 inhales deeply with a Holley 750 double-pumper four-barrel carburetor and Chevy performance intake. It exhales with the growl of performance thanks to headers feeding those side pipes. Plus, you have complete control over the power and thunder of this motor with the close-ratio Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission. You've even have nice supporting components, like power steering and a large aluminum radiator to help keep this powerful package running cool. The undercarriage photos will remind you how fresh this whole build is. Plus, you're also reminded of the superior handling a C3 Corvette delivers with a fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Complete with maintenance records and engine receipts, this Corvette is one mean machine. This Stingray comes with all the respect of a hallowed classic American muscle nameplate, and more importantly, there's no stress when you want to go out and have a little fun. Call today!!
