Re: [Chevelle-list] Chevelle Heavy Chevy?

[James Colgan]

Hey Ken,thanks for getting back to me .  it's has a chevelle tag on the trunk and Malibu tags on the inside door panels.the VIN is 1D37F2B504042. I tried checking the VIN # on line but it only showed more modern 17 character VIN #'s.I was told it has a 350 cid, auto on the column,drum brakes, none posi rear. I bought the car from a parking garage that had a lein on the car that the original owner abandoned there . so I don't know much about the cars history. What I do know is that the car needs both 1/4's( rotted out above the tail lights both sides) a driver side door and some work on the roof, it looks like somebody was standing/jumping on it because it's dented and slightly creased above the back window.The rest of the car looks pretty solid ?.I'm pretty sure it's repairable . any thoughts ? Hopefully good ones, because I've been going through the" Special Interest Vehicles" parts section making a tentative wish list.i.e..cowl hood, 454,Muncie 4spd,disc brake conversion,373 posi. am I a dreamer or does this sound realistic.

Hey All, I recently looked at a 72 Chevelle that has a cowl induction hood and an SS emblem on the front grille.Thinking this was a "clone" which many are,I did some research on the vin to find the first 4 digits of the vin 1C37 indicates this car is a Heavy Chevy.Anyone have any info on the Heavy Chevy? Production numbers,Stats,Value.Any info on this car would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks
