Default Re: Baldwin Help?

Some new information from this morning's visit.

This car is currently setting at Razorback Restoration in Rogers, AR. Fellow by the name of Wade Whittaker owns the place. A customer had him drag the shell in and asked him to do some research to see if it was a BM car. If it is, he is willing to spend what it takes to get the car back to exactly original.

First of all, I was wrong....it is a '68 and not a '69 as I previously posted. Got some additional information on it as well.
VIN: 194378S423987 if I read these correctly. Darn bifocals!!!

Trim tag reads:
CHEVROLET K29
TRIM STD 983 PAINT

In addition, this car has a small rear sway bar and a 5 leaf spring setup in the rear. It also has AMIS staggered driving lights with turn signals beside the driving lights.

Not sure if this information means anything as to whether it is a BM car or not. Think it is definitely a 427 factory 4-speed car, even if not a BM.

And JoeC....it does not have the fast back style rear window.


By the way....saw several of the Yenko cars up in Springfield, Mo this past summer. Very impressive, gentlemen. More factory supplied horsepower under 1 roof than I have ever seen (and thank goodness it was air conditioned). Fell in love with the Yenko cars when I spotted a Yenko Duece Nova over in a showroom at R&S Chevrolet in Joplin, MO. Metallic green color. It had to be either in '70 or a year one side or the other of it. Dang. Heck to get old. First thing to go is your memory. Can't remember what the second thing is.
