Bruce,Thanks,have more I'll share at a later date.I got to tell you,all the times I got to talk to Heavy,he came across real nice and a TRUE car enthusiest!! Carman Rotonda,Herb McCandless,Levi Holmes and Ronnie Lyles were some of his drivers.He loved street racing too,made a lot of money that way.Tony Battaglia of Batt Autobody painted all of his cars except his Dick Harrell 70 Camaro.Talked to Tony Battaglia many times too,painted a lot of Motion cars for Joel Rosen.Tony says nothing but good things about "Heavy".Tony has some real wild stories,one I will mention in the near future.

Re: Brooklyn Heavy's 1969 Motion Camaro
 

Those are great pics and stories... does anyone know where any of the cars are ?

Re: Brooklyn Heavy's 1969 Motion Camaro
 

Great pictures and articles. Dan, was Heavy's 69 B/M car a 427 conversion vs a COPO? I thought Joel didn't know about the COPO until very late in the production year.

Or, is it a 1966 Chevelle with a 1967 nose on it?

Re: Brooklyn Heavy's 1969 Motion Camaro
 

Great pics Peter!

Re: Brooklyn Heavy's 1969 Motion Camaro

Re: Brooklyn Heavy's 1969 Motion Camaro
 

Sam, would the pictures name "brooklynheavyislanddrag" be a clue ?

Re: Brooklyn Heavy's 1969 Motion Camaro
 

Came across this photo of a '74 Camaro today.. check out the name above "Pat Musi" on the door.

Re: Brooklyn Heavy's 1969 Motion Camaro
 

Pat Musi is still around building motors. I think he moved back to NJ from Florida. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

...'black knight '68 camaro'... is that the ex-jenkins '68? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Brooklyn Heavy's 1969 Motion Camaro
 

I thought Heavy's '68 was the ex-Jenkins car? I think Levi found his '68 Camaro (which was a bit rough already) in a scrap yard or something like that, paid next to nothing for it, then built it into a real street sweeper.

Re: Brooklyn Heavy's 1969 Motion Camaro
 

"I thought Heavy's '68 was the ex-Jenkins car?"

Yep, sure was!
