why do they call 72's "heavy chevy's"just want to know the trivia????

They weighed almost 800 lbs more than a Malibu. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif

Just jerking your chain. They were a no frills performance car. No carpet or trim, but you could get one with a big block, 4 speed and 12 bolt. Kinda like back in the 60's when you could get a Biscayne with the most powerful drivetrain available at the time, on steel wheels with hub caps. The ultimate sleepers.
