On craigslist with docs from Joel Rosen.

It was on Ebay last week. The bidding got to $125K. It has been discussed here and on Team Chevelle a couple times in the last few years.

This is a real car. I inspected it about 4 years ago.

Why is the bidding so low for a documented Phase III Chevelle? Is it because it is a 1971?

This is Not a Baldwin Motion invoiced car. This a "shop car", brought to Motion as a used car by the owner to have it modified. Though just as mean in a street race, oddly the perceived value is less.

It was converted in the late 1970s. It is a cool car that has had some apparent detailing since last surfaced. It ran really strong and the documents were second to none.

Isn’t this the car that sold in Atlantic City about 5 years ago for about 40/50k and no one could believe anyone would spend that much for it? If so it certainly has been cleaned up!

I remember this same car in previous threads here a few years back too...when on eBay?.
Didn't the story include something along the lines of the owner at the time flying somewhere and meeting up w/ Joel at a coffee shop so Joel could lay his blessings on the documents?.

Same car on YouTube?

Not the same car on youtube... car on youtube is a 4spd and looks to have a stinger type scoop on top the cowl hood.
