About “Heavy Chevy”

Little old lady had it in her garage in California until about 2002. A guy up in Minneapolis had it shipped up here via truck hauler. Then in 2008 it was bought from him and came into my possession. And it a;; started from there.

About “#Baby II”

My dad bought this little car for my Nana (his mom) and she loves this car a lot. Then my Uncle Don bought it and let his now ex wife drive the car and she wasn't very nice to it. My dad bought the car back when Uncel Don told him there was something wrong with the motor. My dad bought another motor but he never put it in because he had work, brandings, kids and other vehicles taking up his time. My first sister had the car for a while until she bought a 1973 Mach 1 and I got the car. I helped her sand her mustang and I changed the tires on the Mustang II by myself. I still have to change the motor in it before it can be driveable again.

Specs for “Heavy Chevy”

The car was overhauled last winter. Had a 305 now has 406 with about 450 horse and 450 foot pounds of torque. Now has a awesome sound system. Its definitely a beast out on the street. Sanded it down to the bare body and then built up from there. New interior and rims/rims as well.

Specs for “#Baby II”

My little car is hatchback with a 2.8L V6 4spd manual tranny, at one time my dad said that it could do a little over 120mph-I have yet to test that out for myself, I believe it has 250hp but I could be wrong.
