Sam, this was actually a Baltimore built car.

Yeah, the original owner dropped in a 427 back in the day. The car only has 26k miles, sits on 50 year old rubber, and still sports mostly original paint… not the hood, of course ;-]

L78M22Rag, my Baltimore car is very close to your Baltimore Vin. 553 cars apart so possibly the same day on the line.

I own a 300 hardtop that I bought thinking it was just a SS chevelle but soon got schooled from Mr Vasic about what it really was!

Late 70’s early 80’s race car. That’s been stashed in the back corner of my shop for over 20 years. I’ll get to it sooner or later.

Default Holland Motors

The L78 car that we fixed up in the late 1990's also came from John Holland Motors. Here is a picture that we took in front of Holland Motors show room and a Holland emblem that I saw on a Chevelle at a cruise night.

Is the Olds formerly owned by Hodges?
