Hey everyone was wondering if you guys could give me some info on the Heavy Chevy option. What was it? How many were produced? Vin sequence? and finally would one be worth restoring?(unfortunatly a SS is out of my price range) Is this a decent alterative?

Thanks

This is a Great site! :D :D

Pretty tough cars to restore because interior parts are so hard to find.

The Heavy Chevy was essentially just a cosmetics option on a base V8 Chevelle. Blacked-out grille, domed hood, rally wheels, striping and decals. Sort of a 'poor man's SS', if you will. Standard engine was the 307; the 350 and the 400 big block were optional at extra cost. Not sure if Cowl Induction was available or not :confused:
