Sand's Chevy Show 2017

[Xplantdad]

Some things that I learned from some attendees;
427's were not available on Big Chevys in 1966.

No 4-speed 1st gen Monte Carlos were ever built at the factory. They were all done by speed shops.

The 454 equipped 1963 Buick Riviera RS was a terrible, trouble-prone car.

I think that was everything.

Sheesh-those guys were wrong!

1. 427's were only available in the Corvairs in 1966
2. Only Tremec 5 speeds were available in the Monte Carlos (with the optional clutch pedal)
3. It was a 460 equipped, not a 454 equipped 1963 Riviera!

Juuuuuuuuussssssst kidding!

Lol, don't get me started.

I wonder if those guys shared their wisdom with others at the show.

I try not to drink the water of my travel destination.

I can see someone trying to argue with me about 427's in 66 Chevys, since I own one. But I have no idea why the Monte Carlo and Riviera statements were made to me. None of those cars were even in the show.

It's been known ever since GM made full size cars with 427s. It's in the dealer books, Technical Service Bulletins and brochures for crying out loud . There's a bunch of them still out there. It's not like documentation is purposely being hidden (well, maybe shipping docs). Colvins books have been out for a while too. Those guys must be living in a cave. They'd probably blow a gasket if you and I had our cars parked together.

So...you should bring your car out here Mark!
