Re: [Chevelle-list] Heavy Chevy

[Dale]

Dan Carr’s page (http://www.chevelles.com/shop/ss_ident.html#71) explains a little about the Heavy Chevy option in 71/72.  According to the page, the 454 was not offered on this model.  Many Heavy Chevy’s were cloned into SS cars since many of the options were already there.  A quick check of the VIN or even the Fisher Body plate will confirm the makeover as, like stated below, the HC was based of the Chevelle (models 133xx/134xx for 71 or 1C3xx for 72) and not the Malibu.   Dale McIntosh 67 El Camino 1967 Chevelle Reference CD now available!
