THE IRON GIANT! '67 BIG BLOCK BEL AIR STATION WAGON! STREET OR STRIP! BYRON DRAGWAY!

  • For 1967, full-sized Chevrolets featured a new body with bulging rear fenders, triple taillights, part of that year's styling trends. Bel Air 2 and 4-door Sedans continued, in addition to 6 and 9-passenger wagons. Most came with the Small-Block V-8 283, although the big block 396 and 427's were optional and quite rare indeed. It's also rare to see these family wagons around town, let alone at the dragstrip.
    Check out this one, equipped with a naturally aspirated, big block 496 ci engine and weighing in at a hefty 5500lbs. Watch as it runs a best of 11.66, although the owner claims a best time of 9.30 @145mph. Could you imagine how sketchy that would be, watching how that stock suspension gets all twisted running 11's? #chevy #dragrace #stationwagon

    That's my dad!!! The iron giant has been around since before I was even born he loves that car to death. You can occasionally find him at Byron, Union Grove, and Automotion in the Wisconsin Dells!

      Awesome! I was mad I didn't ask him his name. I was up there concentrating on the diesels and the wagon caught my eye cuz I had a '67 years ago. He's a cool guy and bet a great dad too!

    My friend used to run a '74 500 cu supercharged chevy wagon here in NY , ran ten flats best, lots of turbo 400 problems with that much weight against a thousand hp. Mike

      @@RACEYOURRIDEI have looked for pics to no avail. Dave was a racer not a car show guy (it was back in the early 2000s) at NY international and Lancaster raceway park here in WNY. Just like the car you feature- it would lift the front wheels on launch.
      500 cu big block, 871 blower, race gas and 14# or so boost. 31 spline 9" rear axle and reworked turbo 400.

    Sub ten seconds with stock suspension and drum brakes all around? I sure hope the roll cage and safety harness are from this century...and your life insurance is up to date.

    Cool car . Glad to see you are still posting full length videos . I like your " Shorts " , but still like your longer versions better . Keep em coming !

      @RACEYOURRIDE  7 місяців тому +2

      Thanks! Yeah I need to get back to doing more full length ones. They take quite some time to edit, as I tend to get carried away sometimes. Shorts are quick n easy but frustrating because you can't choose a thumbnail. Stay tuned got a rare '70 GTX HEMI full length coming.
