Baldwin Help?

About the front end: If the car originally came as a GT with the single headlight buckets, they would not have any bodywork over the pop-up lights. A new front clip was put in place, which was a part that was sold through Motion. Also Joel will document the car for less than $1000 if he knows for sure it is his. The problem is he has people helping him document his cars and in turn they need to get paid. Just found that out. It is worth at least to ask him.
It is also possible it could be a small block car. Again only Joel would know. From the sound of the front end as you described, that part was not done by Motion. Good luck

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.

If the car is a '68 then it is definately not a phase III GT. It still may have the possibility of being a Motion car, but not a GT. The GT program started in 69. What kind of hood is on it?

I remember Ray Pennington talking about that car. If you want you can contact him ( he does not have a computer)by phone. If you want I will foward him your name so that he could contact you.
