I thought someone here might be involved in it. Nice Job Rich. It's off to a good start.

Thanks to the CRG, most of the data came from them. I am just highlighting a unique car.

Makes you wonder, The 67-8 L30/M20, 69 LM1, 70-2 monte carlo 402, 70 Chevelle Heavy Chevy, why GM made these low key, no badging, hi po cars. They may not be supercars, but are certinly uniuqe, and cool, IMHO.

Minor clarification: The Chevelle "Heavy Chevy" was in 71-72--there was no '70 model. Also, most of the Heavy Chevy cars were all flash with no dash. Many had the 307 V8 and the car was designed to give the look of the SS models without the gas consumption or insurance cost of the real thing. Also, the car had lots of trim stripes and badging.

Sorry, and Thanks! I don't know anything about them, just saw a 402 model a while back. Guess it does not really fit into the point anyway as it was badged as a heavy chevy.

What other models had no/some badging and HiPo "stuff"?

Now, I have had a few of the 402 monte's before I got my 70 SS monte. They almost always have bucket seats (more so than the 454 SS models), always have the 12 bolt rear, and TH400, other than the muncie 4 speed cars. FWIW, no 454 SS Monte 4 speed has ever turned up!
