A few more pics of the Chevelle from around 2003 I believe, right after we had Kustoms Inc put the cage in. We went to the National Open last weekend at Indy to check out other setups on A-body's and there wasn't many cars at all, in really any of the classes. Besides the weather there is always the common factors this time of year for low car counts, family, cash flow, breakage, etc. We already have our passes for PRI and a hotel booked to keep the scouting of parts and ideas moving forward.

Here are some not so great photos, early ones with Cragar - SS wheels on the street. Front and rear shots changing over to drag car. This was a 250 c.i 300 deluxe model when I purchased it for $150 back in 1979. Color is a 1977 Ford.

I dig your old pics from back in the day Larry. Man...if I could still buy muscle cars, or any car that isn't completely rusted away for $150, I would have a 'real' problem on my hands keeping them going.

Thanks Charlie. This car was originally the baby poop light green color, so with the interior it was that green everywhere. In a couple of years we are going to do a repaint on it and I am pushing for going back to a metallic version of that lighter green.

Andy is my "baby" boy. We're both excited about this father/son project. I verified the VIN and the car was a 300 V-8 built in KC. Interesting, because I grew up in KC before I came to Michigan to attend college with the likes of John Nechiporchik. I've added recognition to the history of the car on the decklid.

GREAT THREAD! look forward to reading more. Just wondering, what was the record for I/S in those days? High 12's?? My old man has many trophy's from New York National back in the day, (I think is was AHRA) he won the summer-nationals in 1972, 69 Chevelle SS-396/375 stick car high 11's. Not sure what class he ran, he can't remember! He said thought it was formula stock or something?? Anyway, and just wondering as I don't know much about stock class racing, but how can a 69 Chevelle run a 427? I thought the 396 was the largest BBC available in a factory car? Was it a special option over the counter not factory installed?? Good luck on your build and Merry Christmas!
