Anthony Biella's 1971 Plymouth Fury
In 1969, Chrysler redesigned the C-Body platform to incorporate its new Fuselage styling that transformed it into a much sleeker design. The new C-Body design saw Chrysler ditching the cab forward look of the early-to-mid 1960's in favor of a more muscular silhouette mimicking the muscle cars of the era.

Like most of us Anthony fell in love with cars at a young age, he grew up working at his family's shop, Capital Discount Muffler in Islip Terrace, NY.

The history First off you need to know what and who is Motion Performance and where the Baldwin name came from. It all started with Joel Rosen, who in the 1960s and early 1970s built the now legendary Motion Camaros, Chevelles and Corvettes. Joel Rosen had so much faith in his products that he offered an unconditional warranty for is performance cars. His cars carried this message: "We think so much of our Phase III super-cars that we guarantee they will turn at least 120 mph in 11.50 seconds or better with an M/P-approved driver. Phase III cars are completely street-able, reliable machines that will run these times...
