555 cubic inches ! - 1

Album details

Capture Date: Aug. 8, 2009
City: Monterey (CA)
Event: Laguna Seca

I'm not sure, but I think that this is a mid to late 60's Chevelle. Whatever it is, it's a beautiful car. So long, but so perfectly proportioned. It's real appeal lies under the bonnet, however. The rocker covers advise that the engine has a capacity of 555 cubic inches. That's over 9 litres. Cool. It was part of the Edelbrock display at Laguna Seca in August 2009, and that's the man himself in the picture.

'Tis indeed a Chevelle, wouldn't know what year though. Any idea what she cranks out?

Enough, I should imagine. I really should have asked the man.

Car is a 64 Chevy Malibu, engine built by Pat Musi and Vic Edlelbrock Jr. EFI puts out 675+ HP on pump petrol while carby model only puts out 650 . Keeping to ONLY 650/670hp should see the engine last for ever! Comes with 2 year unlimited mileage warranty! To see Vic Jr sitting at a minor display such as he is is mind altering.This man is one step short of God and his daughters are only one step behind, running the business as they do.
