My all time favorite was the 1970 Chevelle. I’ve owned three 1970 Chevelles, a 350 Malibu,(highschool car), SS396 car that I put an LS6 in. Ran 12.1 back in the early 90’s and weighed almost 4100 with me in it, and a real SS454 LS5 bench seat, 4 spd car that I sold to Gary Jelley in Pownal, VT when I moved to Arizona in 2001. I wish I would have kept that 454 car…and my 68 Camaro…and my 69 440 dart… ☹ I am into the 1969 Chevelle style now because as much as I loved the 70-72 Chevelles, they were TANKS! Unless you wanted to gut the hell out of it and put fiberglass everything on it they were just plain heavy! As far as the BBC vs. SBC debate…there IS no debate. Naturally aspirated, a well built BBC will destroy a SBC dollar for dollar…new LSX style engines not included of course. I am talking old school here. You can build a 460ci small block now, but you can also build an 800ci+ BBC too if you have enough cash. Give me the same amount of cash to spend and I GUARANTEE my big block will beat the small block in the same car with matching components! Cars I would love to own now… 1970 Chevelle SS454 LS6 car, 1968 Yenko 427 Camaro, 1969 ZL1 Camaro, 1967 427 435hp Vette, 1971 440+6 Cuda, 1968 1/2 428 Mustang. Yes, I am a Chevy guy at heart, but I love all old musclecars! ---

This isn’t an awesome muscle car as it sits but this is my 1971 GMC Sprint that is staying at my parents in CA for now. I would like to one day restore it very nicely but it probably won’t happen as for the time being it listed for sale. ![http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/soadweskey/Sprint/Sprint_08.jpg](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/soadweskey/Sprint/Sprint_08.jpg) ![http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/soadweskey/Sprint/Sprint_12.jpg](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/soadweskey/Sprint/Sprint_12.jpg) ![http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/soadweskey/Sprint/2012-02-09095101.jpg](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/soadweskey/Sprint/2012-02-09095101.jpg) ---

Next time u at the valley or at the lot even look for a gold challenger, tell him his 440 ain’t beating a hemi . Let me know how that works for ya . It’s a stock block and crank with forged rods and pistons . The car is a single digit car and has destroyed many built hemis in stock form yes a hemi will beat a 440 but unformed and worked a little the 440 is a beast ---
