Re: Original owner muscle cars.
The Chevelle was actually my mom's car; dad ordered it so mom would have something to drive. But - he ordered it as a Police car so it would come with some extra goodies. 454, TH400, 3.42 posi, 8" Corvette rally wheels with Goodyear blue dot tires. Mom drove it four years and I got it when she was done with it.
I have been racing this same car for 35 years now. First pass (ever) was a 15.10 and it was going 14.90's by the end of the day. Over the course of three decades it's had about 7 different powerplants, the latest is a 555 cu in bow tie pro stock big block that is just shy of 1000 hp naturally aspirated. Best ET is 9.85 at 136 mph, but the car is legal to 10 flat. It wants to go 10.20's to 10.30's on any given Sunday. It's been run at a couple dozen facilities across the US, as far south as Florida and as far west as California. I followed the NMCA/NSCA series for nearly 15 years resulting in top ten finishes ever year, including two third place series finishes and two series Championship runner up placements.
