yessir, that's the only big block offered that year...numbers are all correct...

This is my 08 and my wifes 2011

your wife is a lucky woman...I had an offer to trade Goliath for a GT500 with 400 miles...she couldn't handle the power in the truck...900 hp on the street in a '55 chevy is a bit over the edge...

This is Goliath. It has been in storage for a little while so it’s quite nasty.

It was in its previous life. Now it’s sports a full tube chassis with a for link rear end and tubular front suspension. It’s far from a Chevrolet design but the body right… I welded over 200 holes in the body were the stainless trim molding attached in order to have shaved sides and a clean cab…

It’s my pleasure to share some of my rides. I’ve been building them for decades and I was showing them in the early 1990s. I brought a lot of trophies home but I couldn’t keep my wife there. She threw me out of the house in 2000….

Awesome, nice rig, I bought a '65 Apache with a 428 with 4-11 3 speedtrans but the wiring harness was doinked from the hack job whoever built it, think I paid $100 in '78 for it. I used it as a staging/scaffolding truck.

This was the first impala I ever bought. I was into the 69 Camaro scene for decades, until I discovered the lines of the classic impala… I’m getting too old to do full restorations anymore

I think there might’ve been a few 409’s in the 61 impala’s, but they were available in trucks in that year as well. 62 was the break out here for that motor and they continued all the way through 65.

428 was underrated,I put one out of a 69 grand prix in a 67 goat I had and it was really quick

Some old Aussie cars!

This is a mates car.

I bought a 69 gto in '75 for $1500 and it was setup for the track/quarter mile, was my daily driver, looked like it was going 100 mph sitting still. Pass anything but a cop or a gas station. Dumass me wrapped it around a 12 inch white pine tree driving on black ice.

The 428 has power, mine was out of a corvette.
