Yes, I saw it yesterday. Lots of work, but it might be interesting when finished.

that would requre alot of money to do. More than I have or will have for quite some time. Maco Sharks aren't my cup of tea anyway. :cheers:

Why would anyone put that much effort in a custom body and leave 35 years of rust untouched? :confused:

Re: Have You Seen This Car Before? (Ki m Le)
I have seen a car very similar to that. I can't say if it was that one or not. Pontiac made a proto type version of the vett. Like the firebird to the camero. I can't remember what they called it. Only a few were made, I don't even know if they sold any to the public. Hot rod magizine ran an article on it few years ago. Anyway, that's all i have.

Re: Have You Seen This Car Before? (Ki m Le)
I seem to recall reading somewhere that ALL the Corvettes built by Baldwin were coupes...Hmmm.
Anyway, here's one to look at...

There's a couple of Baldwin vette guys on the forum- they' know in a minute if it is b/s.
Looks to me like a home-made custom from the '70's. I doubt Joel Rosen would waste his time modding a base -motored small block vette with auto trans.
Just more ebay white trash mullet rubbish that should have gone to the scrap heap- instead of being enshrined, IMHO.

Rosen's cars were big blocks. That is a Kit and does not even resemble Balwin Motion's creations.
