Buck Kinney's 72 chevelle ss at BJ auction

[Andys dad]

I could easily be wrong but I thought that car was why we ran the 402 instead of the 454 after some of its performances with the 454

Maurice and Ron,,, thats the way I remember the car also,, although there was someone else, for a brief time, that ran a Chevelle convertible too. I don't recall who that was.

Danny, Cyrus Gallant up here has a 70 Chevelle SS convertible that runs in A&B/SA with a LS6 454. It is green with white stripes & white top. Cyrus hasn`t ran the car for a few years now, but still has it in his garage. He has owned it for almost 40 years now. By the way, Cyrus` son Justin is a regular in our Super Shifter group, with a mid 10 second blue 85 Mustang. So he has been to Bremerton several times.
As for Buck Kinneys S/S Chevelle ragtop, other than the wheels, and a but of lettering, it looked pretty much the same on the outside when he sold it, as it did when I started racing in 1974.
