Baldwin Motion made 3 1969 Chevelles




 they put 1969 Mach 1 Mustang mirrors on them


Few could afford a Baldwin Motion built muscle car, fewer teenagers could even consider it.

 But 18 yr old Roberto Schneider, in 1968, had a rich Grandpa who owned the largest bank in Mexico.

 A friend with a 435-horse Corvette suggested that a Baldwin-Motion Camaro, with its outrageous guarantee, might be the way to go.

In late 1968, he arrived in Long Island, New York, and after a test-drive, Roberto was convinced that he would need a pair of cars—a four-speed Camaro for his street-racing exploits, and an automatic-equipped Chevelle to use as a tow car. 

Martyn Schorr, editor of Hi-Performance Cars magazine, called the pair "one of the most significant muscle car purchases in Baldwin-Motion history," a fact.

  1. The 1969 Chevelle is the best looking muscle car ever build, hands down.
