I bought the car from Kevin Suydam and sold it to the present owner, work was done in 1974 by Motion. car doesnt have a title because its been a race car all its life. I know a title has been applied for just incase a guy wanted to change a few things around and drive it on the street. Very Very cool car but very radical motor. Joel Rosen has signed off on it and its a well known car but it take the right guy.

So is the present owner the one that did the whiteout to the work order ?

No that was done long long ago..One of the previous owners from before Tim even found the car had tried passing it off as a REAL 69 Baldwin car and changed the date on the paper work to read 1969 when in fact it was done in 74'. Long story short the guy who bought it from the guy who changed the paperwork found out and busted him on it and lawyers got involved and the guy who changed it had to buy it back, there are papers along with the car (names, lawyers, story etc..) In Joels letter documenting the car is also says he did the car in 74' along with the magazine articles on the car.

?? why wasnt the one date covered over then next to the Org owners sign?

Isn't this the Mr. 'H's Semi-Hemi car?

Dont know why the other date wasnt covered maybe they didnt see that one and thats how the guy found out about the car being done in 74'? Those are the copys that have always been with the car. and yes the car is Mr. H's Semi-Hemi car. There is a magazine article from around 1975 with the car still painted in its original race form. I think it would have been really cool to paint the car back to its race day paint.

Hi Andy,
Sorry to drag this back to the top guys..

I'm not in the market to buy, much to my sadness, but I'm trying to find info and photoes of this car.
The link to the auction has had pics removed....

I build model cars as a hobby, and the fact that I live down in Aus., and will never afford a BM car, I'm trying to replicate the ZLX 427 in 1/12 scale...
I would like to do it as accurate as possible, to give full praise to the great Supercar that it is.
I fell in love with it, the very first time I saw it on Kevin's site a couple of years ago..

I emailed Joel about it some time back, and he suggested I contact Kevin, which I did..but I'm guessing Kevin's email disregarded it as "spam", as I wasn't looking to buy..
I never heard back from him.

If someone can help, I'd be extremely gratefull.
Thanks guys
Greg
