My name is sean, i'm a proud owner of a '66 belvedere, in '67 dress. The car originally was a hemi-auto S/S, was runner-up to shirley shehan at winternationals in 1966. Jere Stahle had a twin to this car. This car was call brand x eliminator, and was one of most feared hemi's to run nhra S/S with Ken Heinnemen as it's original owner. A very good friend of mine owned the car from 68-71 and raced it around the Cincinnati area mostly, before he sold it in fall of 71. The car unfortunately lost the hemi in the mid 70's when it was blown, it was insulted by an owner that replaced the hemi with a Big Block Chevy. Also, at some point between 80 and 85 the car was backhalved and tubbed. The car was re-acquired in 2004, after 15 years in storage, and a 500" wedge mated to the hemi 727 makes the motivation. Interesting, the trans and the dana 60 are still original pieces to the car, and although modified are there. My late friend and I have for the most part brought the car back to a very respectable performer at the track, although I would like to ultimately get a hemi to be the power in the future. The wedge does a good job for now, i'm working on power and getting it to 60' better, as of last the car runs 10.50-10.60 in the 1/4, with MPH 127-129. Not too bad for 3155lbs w/ me in it!!
