Default Re: "Mindbender" '68 Phase III story

Looks like that 68 is an original big block car from the pictures. You can see the big block heater box. Gotta love those huge tires sticking out.

I read somewhere that Joel Rosen preferred that buyers order a L78 car and then do the Phase conversion from that starting point. They'd pull the L78 and sell it at the Baldwin parts counter. The picture shows the Baldwin Chev. parts counter circa-1968 and you can clearly see a L78 engine---probably yanked during a Motion conversion. (The original photo shows the "396" air cleaner sticker clearly.)
