Re: 67 Baldwin/Motion chevelle 427
Realistically, I seriously doubt the car will be ready to show until the 2009 SCR. The work has started on the restoration, but it is early in the process.
Once I got the car, I was really shocked to discover the original 12 bolt survived all of years of racing and still matched the POP. I'm not sure what gears are in it now, but from the factory it was a 4:56 rear per the POP, and then Motion installed 4.88's prior to the sale. Later it might have gotten some bigger gears as Ron mentions.
Imagine in 1967 driving 100 miles each way to NY National Speedway with this car having 4.88's and an M-20, setting the B/HR track record 11.50 @ 120+ and then driving home! That's a stout beast!
