Default 1970 Baldwin-Motion Phase III SS-454 Chevelle

Steve Calamusa has owned this very quick Phase III Chevelle since finding it parked on the lawn of a neighborhood house. It was in very rough shape. He didn't even know what it was when he found and bought it. That was decades ago. He still owns it, drives it on the street and races it.
For the complete story on this "blind find" Chevelle, please visit The Car Guy Chronicles: http://www.carguychronicles.com/2010...lle-blind.html

I have talked to Steve a couple of times. Great car and an even greater story and owner. Talk about rare! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

How many of these cars were built? I can think of 3. Green, white, and red? The green one with sidepipes in one of the coolest cars!!!
I talked to the owner of the white car at SCR a few years ago. He also has a fast bmw. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

Not too mention 7 shades of tan in the Saddle interior! One very difficult interior to restore, trust me. Looks great against the white. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
