More Chevelle Photos From the 1970s.

Just found some more at Capital Raceway. This has to be 1975-ish as the car has an 11.60 dial on the window. This is with the 427 short block that I built back then. Think the quickest I ever went with the L89 396 was 12.00.

Jeff,

I'm surprised that we got down the track without much breakage for a 3700lb car! Those were the days.

Great shots of the Yenko Chevelle too!

Jerry, the only thing i really remember him breaking was the original motor....shot 2 rods out the pan and 1 stuck in the frame rail. i do have pics of that too. and numerous valve stems would rip out of the tubes. did you have air bags in the coils too ?

Here's one from 75-80 Dragway in Monrovia, MD from the early 1970s. This must be a time run as I'm running a Pinto. Go figure. This was as great place to race.

Here's the first time out with the 1966 SS396 Chevelle that we built and finished in 1978. Car went 10.80s at 126 mph the first time out and was fast. The following year, I had this car in the high nine second zone. Was a much better car for racing.

More National Dragster ink from 1977, this must be just before I retired the '69 Chevelle from racing.

Was not going to cut up my first new car and this led to the purchase of the 1966 SS396 Chevelle.
