Brooklyn Heavy

[Carleen]

This is how it looked like in 1974-75

When Heavy was sentenced to prison, the authorities would confiscate all of Heavy's assets such as cars, trucks, etc. Heavy's cars were sent to different garages to hide them and were repainted and so on so that the authorities would not confiscate them. Some were sold to England (Duster and Challenger).
If my memory is right one guy in Sweden bought a 69 L88 Corvette but it was confiscated at custom because it had belonged to New York's biggest drug dealer. Heavy had a black Baldwin Motion L88 Corvette.

How do you know the orange RS '69 became the white one? White one might have standard grille too?

Probably they tried to make it faster with Fiberglass front Fenders and Fiberglass front parts.
Best et 9.89
but could not compete with
Sox&Martin short stroke Hemi cars. Low 9s

Spoke with Heavy at some of the early Snowbirds at Cecil County in early 70's. Nice person to talk with. Was driving his B/MP 66-67 Chevelle those days. A nice guy!

Someone should have interviewed those involved and made a movie about Heavy and his life before everyone is gone.

The car in Wantagh, was definitely hugger orange, Blk top and RS (could have been the car shown above.?) BUT, at the time I was chasing it, was definitely lettered up "Brooklyn Heavy" in a semi circle, blk letters

Me and some other guys have discussed that.
Im not saying that you are wrong.
Some are saying it it was Harrells 70 Camaro and it was damage in a Accident, sitting there and rotten away.
Some are saying it was Grumpys Toy IV that had been in a Accident and was sitting there and rotting away.
And some are saying it was the 69 Camaro that was Orange that was sitting there and was rotting away.
Some are saying that it was Chained to a Tree or a Pole.
Some are saying that it was crushed after Freddy and Eddie Lafayette (I belive that was there name) closed there Shop.

Harrells 70 Camaro was Orange
Grumpys Toy IV was Orange
BM 69 Camaro was ?
