Mike, is that your 69? I am just looking for the phase 3 stuff on the Chevelles. Thanks for the info though.

hi mickey,
sorry about the attachment. i don't know much about computers and thought it would be a sig. not an attachment. i was screwing around with attachments. the issue is an article about a gentleman who purchased 69 ss chevelle for the the purpose of running modified production and kept having it upgraded by motion to eventually run in the 10's. i know your looking for any info and i wanted to alert you. good luck mike

hey jeff,
it just so happens the car was from hawaii. it was an old drag car and has been in mass for the last 12 years. i think the car was white. i bought it off an ex marine stationed there. i kept the hawaii reconstructed vehicle and inspectionn sticker on the bumper. it came with a tach bracket that had "rons performance and speed shop". it was on honolulu. the car was actually owned by 2 brothers. heres a few more pics if your interested. mike

Were the brothers last name Inouye? The Brothers here have been racing Chevys for years!!!!!!. They are org from the Big Island (BI) and I have been told they were the ones with the BM car (I thought to be a Camaro) that sold new there. I can find out more info from my neighbor who has a good friend that visits all the time from BI, who is here this week. They are working on a Pro-Touring 65 Vette that will have just over 1000 HP to tap when they want to play.

Is this a Heater Delete car also?

Would love to see pics of the car and any articles that deal with it. Also on the Hawaii RECON permit. Its good for the life of the car which is how the car owners here get away with just about anything they want to do to a car. If you change tires or exhaust you need a recon permit then once its obtained the sky is the limit for ANY MODS to a car

Forgot RON's is still in business and Ill ask them about the car this weekend when I make a trip down to them.
