That is a really neat picture of that White '68 Chevelle poppin' that wheelie. 'Ya know, that's really not that hard to do with a decently powered Chevelle. At the same time I was racing a low 10-second Malibu my lil' brother had a 13-second '72 Chevelle with an extremely mild 454, Vega Convertor (remember those?), hand-me-down wore-out Hoosier tires and NO Front Shocks (that's the key). Well, my car would stay on the ground but his Chevelle would yank the front tires 12-14 inches easily on any kinda pavement. He practically became a local legend because of this and when he would choose off faster cars to race and normally lose, the crowd of post-race spectators would flock to his car instead of the winner! I once followed him a couple of miles through town and watched him wheelie from every single stoplight just driving the car normal. It was actually quite hard NOT to do it.
