A 1973 Chevy Chevelle might not top your list of dream cars, but this is one you might make an exception for. This super rare classic muscle car has been given the full Baldwin Motion treatment. Packed with attitude and go-fast parts, this Chevelle is unlike anything you’ve seen in recent decades.

Motion Performance worked with Baldwin Chevrolet to make this 1973 Chevelle the marvel that it is. This represents the last of the Baldwin Motion cars as Baldwin Chevrolet shut down soon after, and other builds became Motion cars without the Baldwin touch.

The full Phase III makeover made the car a king of the streets that not many other cars could touch. Included in the package was the 427ci L88 big block, 4-speed manual transmission, and snappy 4.88:1 gearing out back. A Hone-O-Drive auxiliary overdrive linear actuator, sidepipes, and graphics were also specific to the Baldwin Motion III package.

If this all sounds delectable to you, pull out your wallet because Nickey Performance has the very last one built listed for sale.
