BALDWIN MOTION TRIBUTE, 355 V8, 465HP, 700R4 AUTO, PWR STEER/BRAKE, FRESH RESTO!

Some cars are just unmistakably cool from every angle. One glance at this 1972 Chevrolet Malibu Baldwin-Motion tribute, and you know there have been some serious investments in upgrades. The distinct paint package, 465 hp performance V8, overdrive transmission, and custom interior tell you this is the coolest Malibu you can gets your hands on!
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 home, and it'll make you nervous every time it leaves the garage. So the obvious solution is the coupe you see here. The silver really gets this noticed everywhere it goes. It's in-line with the period-correct color, but the investment in a modern clear coat finish means there's a precious metal tone that looks great when the sunlight hits it. But more than just shine, there's a darker side to this one with the exclusive black striping package that came if you ordered your car through Motion Performance via Baldwin Chevrolet. This cool color package on the laser-straight body already tells you the superior level of investment on a classic like this. So the mirror-like presence on the form-fitting bumpers and around the iconic Rally wheels is just the cherry on top.
Not only does the black striping package get attention, but also it's a nice preview of the interior color. The fresh seats look great in a period-correct pattern, but as you look closer, details like the Motion logo stitching in the headrest lets you know this is a custom investment. Speaking of the seats, having buckets up front is always a desirable choice. It leaves room for the artful center console and the iconic horseshoe shifter that makes this coupe really feel like a Baldwin-Motion car should. It has all the right upgrades for comfort like cup holders, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, LED lighting, and smoked glass all around. But the best improvements are reserved just for you. The NK4 sports steering wheel, auxiliary gauges, and Bosch tach mounted on the steering column are all clear indications of something special under the hood.
The engine bay looks clean and mean with the painted inner fenders and an overall tidy presentation. Of course, everything looks so good because there's less than 6,300 miles on this one since it completed restoration. Backing up this performance appearance is a full performance build. It's a 355 cubic-inch stroker motor that has been fortified and enhanced with components like a Comp Cams camshaft, Comp roller rockers, MSD ignition, five-rib billet belt system, Holley four-barrel carburetor, Holley Contender Intake, and Headman headers. It was dynoed at 465 hp at the flywheel, and thunderous sound of the Flowmaster dual exhaust lets everyone know it. Out on the street, upgrades like thick sway bar up front and Right Stuff drilled & slotted four-wheel disc brakes means you have proper control over this muscle machine. But more than just pure power, this is also a great cruiser. Features like newer polyurethane bushings, power steering, and a 700R4 four-speed automatic with overdrive make this a confident driver every time you take it out on the road.
Complete with build receipts and restoration photos, this is the tribute car that looks as means as a Baldwin-Motion machine and has the power to back it up, too. So to get it all for such an obtainable price means you need to hurry if you want to take it home. Call now!
