Anyone ever hear of a Baldwin Motion equipped 68 Chevelle L79?

Don't mean to Hi-jack, but I know of a very cool '68 L79 Bench Seat, 4 speed, with factory 4.10s that had a bunch of Hi-Performance work performed and was sold new at Nickey Chevrolet.

It was known to prowl the streets of Niles and vicinity back in the day.

I thought the 68 L79 was rarer than hens teeth, how many are/were out there Stefano?

I heard of an original owner one that is being restored in the Chicago area. A friend of mine saw it at a restoration shop.

Did the 68 L79 use a 610 intake manifold?

I've seen various production numbers all approx 3,000 units or less.
