What did the car start life as? 350 SS? </div></div>

Original owner could have been an officer on the submarine. That sub had a crew of 100 men with 10 of them officers.

Car very likely started as an SS L-78. Baldwin would sell the takeout engines or short blocks which is how they kept the price of the BM cars more reasonable.

the address on the work order shows NY, NY

a Navy history site says the Robert E. Lee was attached to Submarine Squadron 14 throughout 1969 and 1970 operating out of Holy Loch (U.S. nuclear submarine base at Holy Loch, Scotland) but was on east coast of USA in 1972 1973


I know the car was in CT. a long time and there is a Submarine Base in Groton CT.

but not sure if that was part of the car's history
