The Heavy Chevy drag racer ploughs thru COVID adversity - Torque American EP23
In this episode of Torque American we meet Dave Caruso and Keith Alder Barber, co-owners of a 1958 Chevy Delray drag racing BEAST !!
THE HEAVY CHEVY
Unfortunately this episode has become a tribute to Keith who didn't make it through the pandemic. But as you will see, Keith lived his life to the full driving this awesome Chevy at fantastic speeds and now Dave is running the Heavy Chevy without him, he and his team have redoubled their strenuous efforts to break the 8 second barrier!
At 4,000 lb this drag car is not lightweight by any means but that doesn't stop it posting great times on the quarter mile!
The Heavy Chevy's best time is a dead flat 9 seconds which is incredible when you consider that the car just needs street legal rear tyres and a few other modifications taken off to be legal on UK roads!!!

    My first Charger ( I've had 3, all 68's) was this color with white interior. All were big blocks the first was a 383 the other two 440's. They a getting real hard to find unless you want one already done. Affordable ones, I'm talking under $10,000, are pure junk. Sure do miss them cars. These, IMO, were the most beautiful cars of the muscle car era.

    I've never liked Mopar until about 3yrs ago and I was driving my tow truck and a gentleman called for my services and he was talking about scrapping it, and when I got there it was a 69' Chrysler 300 2dr ht 440TNT and beautiful I asked him how much. He said 2000 dollars! I got it home and it was the rear-end that broke he just put a new rear-end in it. And the factory rear-end was in the trunk, I put it in and been in love since.

    So rewarding to see another iconic musclecar saved from the scrap yard. And great to get a look at American Auto Finishers from the inside. I have a Firebird restoration in progress by JC from around the same time as your Charger, so it's reassuring to see the quality work and expertise displayed in this episode.
