What class would a 66 427/425 Biscayne have run in

It ran in the 12's at over 100 mph, with 4.11's, headers, and some modifications -
it was very competitive for the time ('68 /'69) - check out the win stickers!
(Keystones & chrome reversed, way up high and the undercarriage painted white)

Glenn,
Those were the days. Perfect Day 2 car like so many of us had. I was tearing off original wheels/tires, carbs and intakes the first day I bought the car. Who cared about having an original numbers matching car back in the day! I just wanted to be faster than the next car. How long did you own it and where did you race at?

Most I've seen were in B/S however I've got pictures of Bill Izykoski's car in both B&C/S. This car is one of the best known '66 Biscayne stockers. I also have a picture of one at Aquasco and one at York US 30 and both are classified A/S.

Dave's L72 is too cool. I like the pics!

This was today at Martin US131 Factory Stock/FAST race. This 427 Impala SS is really moving.......don't forget, manifolds, Polyglas tires, etc.....and it's a 4 speed.

I had it from '68 - '70, it developed a nasty habit of ripping the trailing arms off the bottom of the car which would then cause the trans cross member to tear off the frame. I'd go for the shifter and it would barely be sticking out of the console!
I raced it at Islip and West Hampton, and Connecting Hwy, 150th St & the Conduit and about 100 different lights throughout Nassau County!

Norm Fryer's 007. Bill Izkowski and a local home town favorite was The Pied Piper (Valerio Bros.) with help from Grump, also ran in B/Stick. I think the 427 Fairlanes and Mopars ran in A/Stock back then. Slicks, headers, air bags gauges a Hurst Competition Plus shifter and a super tune (balanced, clearanced with some head, carb and distributor work was about all you did or needed back then. Don't forget the Cragars!

I've posted these before but ... a buddy owned this L72 4spd coupe back in 84/85 , N50's , glass bumpers , headers and tunnel ram iirc it ran high 12's . It's back in the US now being restored.

I remember the Norm Fryer car! He was fast!

I don't remember ever seeing any '66 L-72 big cars running in "A". If they did fit into there, I don't think they were competetive and the owner would drop to "B" where they were. Like mentioned earlier, Billy Ilykowski's(sic) was probably the most well known one (B) in the country. I tell 'ya, those L-72 cars were absolute terrors. I've heard other stories of these cars ripping out their rear control arms also. Changing subject slightly, now I know people worship '67 435 HP Corvettes like the Shroud of Turin, but if you'd line one up in a race with a '66 427/425 HP Corvette, my money's on the '66 L-72 'Vette!
