Baldwin-Motion Camaro Snags Oscar at SEMA!
The prototype 1969 540 Camaro SuperCoupe, shown for the first time at the
2005 SEMA Show, wins GM's top Design Award. At a special awards breakfast, Kip
Wasenko, Director Of Design, Special Vehicles, General Motors, presented the
highly coveted,
Third Annual 'Best GM Vehicle' Design Award to the MOTION Team for its
coachbuilt
700-hp, two-seat Camaro Supercar.
"In a crowded field of restyled GM products at SEMA this year, the
Baldwin-Motion
540 Camaro SuperCoupe, penned by Kris Horton working with MOTION, LLC CEO,
Larry Jaworske and Joel 'Mr. Motion' Rosen, literally stole the Show," said Kip
Wasenko.
Citing the SuperCoupe's "extraordinary design, execution, attention to detail
and flawless fit and finish" he presented the Design Award to MOTION, LLC
President,
Joel Ehrenpreis and the Team on behalf of General Motors.
The prototype SuperCoupe, handcrafted by Phil Somers at Time Machines, is
powered by an all-aluminum Merlin/Motion 540-inch, 700-hp big-block fitted with
Cross-Ram fuel injection. The FI system was designed for the Camaro's
powerplant by Jim Kinsler.
"During the Supercar Sixties and Seventies, Joel Rosen and Marty Schorr's
original Baldwin-Motion big-block Camaros and Corvettes contributed to the
mystique of the brands. I was a big Motion fan then and I'm still a big fan," added
Wasenko.
A total of 12 Baldwin-Motion 1969 540 Camaro SuperCoupes will be produced,
each essentially a one-off built to the purchaser's specifications. Prices start
at $427,000.
