'72 Chevelle
Bob West
Republic, MO
Impressive
It's a street car-seriously. It's tagged, insured, weighs a portly 3,680 pounds, and still knocks off bottom-10-second e.t.'s at 131 mph. Bob West out of Republic, Missouri, is the proud owner of one the finest performing '72 Chevelles we have ever seen. Underneath the hood is a 10.5:1 compression 505ci big-block that utilizes Brodix Race-Rite oval-port cylinder heads and a custom solid-roller camshaft. Inhaling the air is an Edelbrock RPM intake while a 1,000-cfm Holley HP carburetor takes on the role as its mixer. Expelling the spent fumes is a pair of 2-inch Hedman headers, and finishing off the remainder of the drivetrain is a Turbo 400 transmission and ATi converter combination that's mated to a Moser rearend with 4.10:1 gears.
'67 Camaro SS/RS
Gordon Tokeshi
Keaau, HI
Island Creation
What better way to roll around the Hawaiian island than in a '67 Camaro? It took Gordon Tokeshi five long years to build, but he also pulled off painting the thing himself in his carport-bumper to bumper. Tokeshi filled his bombin' Camaro with a 0.030-over 350ci small-block with TRW slugs and twin 500-cfm Edelbrock carbs, and a Weiand 6-71 supercharger up top. Out back a pair of 15x10 Weld Draglites is wrapped in P275/60R15 meats, while the 15x6s up front are shrouded in P205/65R15. Transmission of choice is a TH350 with a B&M shifter, and a set of 3.08:1 gears was picked for cruising.
'66 Chevelle SS
Larry & Nancy Huestis
Crown Point, NY
It's All Business
This black '66 Chevelle is all business and powered by a 10.5:1 468ci big-block. Inside, the rat swings an Eagle forged crank with Scat forged H-beam rods, and a Comp bumpstick is used for the monster lift numbers. Up top, an 850-cfm Holley is resting on a Edelbrock Victor Jr. manifold and a pair of GM iron oval-port cylinder heads. Larry and his better half, Nancy, love hitting the local cruises, and we can see why, especially when they get to row the gears through a Richmond four-speed!
