1969 Baldwin Motion Phase III GT Corvette
Vehicle Description
1969 Baldwin Motion Phase III GT Corvette, 427/550 HP, Joel Rosen Certified, Featured in Vette Vues, Vette Magazine & MACAN. Recipient and Winner of several Celebrity Choice Awards Corvettes at Carlisle, Real Catalog Car. Restored with Authentic Motion Performance Parts
Introducing "Beauty" - a 1969 Baldwin Motion Phase III GT Corvette, one of the most iconic and desirable muscle cars of all time. This is an authentic Motion Performance catalog build verified by Joel Rosen confirming that genuine Motion Performance parts were used throughout the restoration.
Originally delivered to Norton Chevrolet in Philadelphia PA ( Dealer Code 460, Zone15), this Corvette was discovered on eBay by restorer Joe Tandle in November 2016 who performed a frame-off, nut- and-bolt-rotisserie restoration in 2018. It took Joe over 1500 hours over 1 1'2 years to complete "Beauty". "Beauty's" entire build is documented with every receipt and an extensive before- and-after photo album.
As Joe's wife says " Joe is a one man operation who wants this done right, and wants them done well. He is a man of his word who puts others first and always chooses to do what is right. For him, any corvette project he takes on is exciting and a labor of love, whether it be taking something old and making it look new, or using his mechanical and design skills and tenacity to find solutions to what needs to be done, he goes above and beyond!"
The heart of this car is a Ken Nogad-build 427ci big block, bored .30 over and making an estimated 550HP, paired with period-correct performance parts including a Holley 750 carb, Edlebrock Torker II intake, and Motion "Fly Eye" air cleaner.

Lastly, this corvette is part of my personal collection. I have been a car enthusiast for more than 40 years. I have been an Ebay member since 2001 and have always had a 100% positive rating since 2001 so feel confident with your purchase. Please feel free to reach out to me and send me a message if you have any questions. I will respond promptly. I want to make sure that you do your due diligence and feel confident and happy with your purchase. I also recommend doing your own research. Beauty has been the topic and discussed in several media links. I have owned several Motion Performance cars. Today the hobby differentiates three levels in the vintage Baldwin-Motion/ Motion series as follows: 1) Baldwin-Motion, 2) Motion modified and 3) catalog cars using authentic Motion Performance Parts. The third description describes "Beauty" best.
