Possible Baldwin Car?

[71LS5]

Hey guys,

Wonder if there is anyone out there that could help me out on this one.

I have a buddy here in Northwest Arkansas that bought the shell of a '68 427 4-spd Corvette that he thought might be a Baldwin car. I know that Joel may be the only one to verify for sure but he was hoping that he could get confirmation that it was or wasn't before proceding to ask Joel to follow up.

The VIN on the car is: 194378S423987
Trim STD K29
Paint 983

The old car is registering 70,374 miles on her. It appears to have the Phase III type headlights/front end on it.

Wonder if anyone would know if this is a Baldwin car or not? Is there a specific site or publication that would have the particular VIN's of the Baldwin cars that were built? I posted this a couple of months ago but didn't get any response. Not sure if that was telling me to forget it or I needed to have them pursue it with Joel.

I believe Joel Rosen is the only person that has the #'s to definitely say whether a car is a Baldwin Motion car or not. He offers this service and it will cost @ $1,000 for it...

I would do a title search and talk to past owners. This is cheaper and more reliable than Rosen,since he would document a wheel barrow as being a motion for a 1000.00, However on the otherhand you are guarenteed a to get a positive on the car for a grand and you can then get twice what you paid for it from one of the "experts" (read) dummies with more money than brains on this site.

Dear Mr. 4speed, didn't we go thru this idiotic tirade of your's once before? What evidence do you have, not opinions or hearsay, that ANY of what you say is true.

Sounds interesting . Though there were many aftermarket front ends for Corvettes it's worth a shot. Start with the title search and see what that turns up.......
