Wanger Chevrolet 454 Chevelle/Camaro Pics

[whitetop]

Here are some pics out of Super Stock & Drag Illustrated magazine, November '72 about the Jim Wanger Chevrolet 454 Chevelles and Camaro's. They also made trick Vega's, Novas, Corvettes and Monte Carlos. The 454 package was called the LS-W-454. Jim Wangers old friend, Milt Schornack(of Royal Bobcat fame) was the one in charge of getting the cars prepared. Wonder how many were made?

Where was Wangers Chevrolet ?It looks like the first pic of Chevelle was taken at Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove Wisconsin

Wangers Chevrolet was in Milwaukee at Green Bay & Capitol Drive. Still there; now a Volvo dealership. They sold a bunch of "Milwaukee Classic" Monte Carlos with special paint. Always had a selection of used hi-perf stuff. I recall a big-tank '65-'66 Corvette on their lot.

Great Lakes is still operating, 40+ years. Has to be one of the oldest strips around.

The "Milwaukee Classic" Monte Carlos had to be the ugliest looking cars ever put together. How bad you ask? Makes a Yugo look like a Yenko Camaro. Car looks like something you would check up on your Ho's with. Makes you wonder what Jim Wangers was thinking. Must of used up all of his good ideas on the GTO's.
