Built in late September of 1973 in Oshawa he ordered the base Malibu so that he could get the Police package. He still ordered the same interior as was in our '73 Monte Carlo, with the black/grey herringbone weave, swivel buckets, rally cluster and console shift. 454, TH400, 3.42 posi, 8" rally wheels with HR60-15 Goodyear tires.

Delivered through Robert Uptegraff Chevrolet in Davison; the building is still there operating as Hank Graff Chevrolet for some many years.

Mom drove it four years and I got it after she was done. I started racing this car in 1978, so this year marks 46 years racing this same car.

Weighing in at 4100 pounds originally, first pass was a 15.10 and I had it going 14.90's by the end of the day.

It's a svelte 3550 lbs now; Best pass to date is 9.85 at 136mph. It wants to go 9.80's even in the heat and, to be honest, I don't really know how fast it will go. Maybe mid 9.60's? I'm planning a test session after the formal season is over to see what it will really do.
