Baldwin-Motion Iroc?

I just recieved the Feb. issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines. In it is an article on the new Motion Camaro. In the last paragragh it states that in the 80s Motion produced a short run of Irocs and Montes. Anyone heard of or seen these cars before?

Re: Baldwin-Motion Iroc?

That twin turbo hood is pretty cool. I could see that being used today, and looking great. I also would like to see a thirdgen wide body put together with more modern touches...

I'm interested.

Re: Baldwin-Motion Iroc?

Thank you simo and mr396 for the enlighting. I almost feel like I never should have asked. It's almost like going to the strip club and staring at the c-section the new girl has.

Re: Baldwin-Motion Iroc?

I spoke to Joel Rosen a few years back regarding these cars. He said the IROC cars were not Baldwin-Motion cars, but Motion Performance cars. He said that all they were was a car that a customer took to their performance shop and had aftermarket items thrown at the car. There was no Phase I, II or III cars and no two were built alike. He didn't even document them as they were customer modified cars.
