I hope you got a chance to read about Marty Schorr’s Iso Grifo in the July issue of my Wheel People e-newsletter. One fact I left out of the story that will certainly enhance the car’s provenance: Although Schorr found the car at Malcolm Konner Chevrolet in Paramus, N.J., he had it delivered through Baldwin Chevrolet in Baldwin, N.Y., home to the “Fantastic Five” Chevys that were modified by nearby Motion Performance.
The Grifo went through the Motion prep, including dyno tune, and Motion proprietor Joel Rosen affixed the “Motion” nameplate under the hood. That makes Schorr’s Grifo the world’s only Baldwin-Motion Grifo. Later, Schorr received a new Corvette LT-1 350 from Corvette chief Zora Arkus-Duntov. He had Motion swap that into the Grifo, removing the original Corvette 327.
