Very nice survivor Heavy Chevy find Mark! Good to see you are restoring it, the new paint and decals looking nice! My buddy, Smitty, had a Heavy Chevy in high school, paint code 14 14 Pewter Silver, and black striping with the rally type wheels and small center caps. H code motor 350 c.i. 2 barrel and the 3 speed manual floor shift. Vinyl floor, bench seat and raised hood with the hood pins. Believe his was a 1971, but maybe a '72. Cool cruising car! His brother had the SS 454 Chevelle black and white "skunk" w/ cowl induction and 4 speed that was super nice too (as of 2019 he still had his SS). His Dad and family always drove Chevrolets from Kizziers Chevrolet, located western NE.

Beautiful car! I almost bought an orange Heavy Chevy, 4 speed, bench seat but it was a north east car and in 1983 it was already totally rusted out.

Yum, had a 1971 Malibu 350 small block back in the day. Love the small block Chevelles, great daily drivers. Drove mine 5 yrs.

Saw 4 or 5 of these in the junk yard in Grand forks ND back in the mid 80s

Awesome find! I have a 1971 Pontiac GT-37, Pontiac version of a Heavy Chevy.

Being 60 years old, I have owned so many and missed out on many more! Wasn’t much rust in Oklahoma or Texas. Unfortunately we’ve hauled a few for scrap.

My 72 SS454 had the build sheet on the gas tank, my 71 Malibu had one in the rear seat springs, my 70 Malibu was glued to the passenger side door skin. Nice video !

Remembered one in my town early 90s already rusted pretty bad Pa winters. You have a nice one there!!!

MY DREAM CAR, my brother had one 72-74 I don't remember which he had the S.S. version and I loved it.

Took your Great Tip and went to Summit Racing in Talmadge and purchased Stainless exhaust band clamps for my 1967 Chevelle SS 396 stock exhaust system .. Way better then crunching the pipes with the old style clamps! Probably run into you at Canfield swap meet next weekend. Thanks!

Sweet old ride! Nice save! ✌️

Maybe a very rare car. I had a 1971 malibu with a 350ci and auto bench seat

My first car was a midnight bronze Heavy Chevy. Also they have the plain tail lights with no chrome rings. Nice car.

I had a chance to buy one years ago with 327 definitely born heavy Chevy beautiful car congratulations

Cool old Chevelle, survivor.

I remember seeing a few of those in the 70's in my area.

it was a good video i have owned a 72 heavy chevy for many years the vin number of the car is on the engine block its the only year they did that also there is a heavy chevy registry there are not many that survived mine is one of two the way it was equiped

I often see a late model Chevy truck that somebody has put decals on the tailgate that read “ Heavy Chevy”. I always wondered what that represented

Heavy Chevy models were based on the 300 Deluxe Chevelle body and NOT the Malibu. This is evident in the trunk emblem delete, the rubber/vinyl floor covering as opposed to carpet, the absence of bright trim on the drip rails, the "non-parking" windshield wipers, no bright circular trim on the tail light lenses, and most notably, the door panels. As someone else noted, the grill emblem would say "CHEVROLET" instead of "CHEVELLE", or possibly have no emblem at all. Looks to me like the 70k or so mileage may be original mileage, what do you think? Its perfect just the way it is, right down to those Fenton wheels! In a past life (or it seems that way anyway), I had a '72 Chevelle Malibu which came out of the Oshawa Ontario plant (still had the customs sticker on the door jamb with a little maple leaf on it), that car had the plastic inner fender wells too. Thanks for sharing, this has to be one of the nicer Chevelle finds I have seen on YT in a while.

Used to be one running my town when it was new. Had mags and jacked up. Had the Heavy Chevy sticker on it, which I thought was cool

That's so cool

My brother had a orgne 72 real heavy chev bench seat no carpet sorry to say rolled it totaled yard art

My dad would let us drive all the cars to school. 49, ford, 57 bel air 64 tempest. My brother destroyed a 67 galaxy deer hunting at 14

I'll stay with my 66 Chevelle SS 138

I have a 72 134 el camino, and unfortunately it seems the elcos never got Heavy Chevy status, but, my car could be a dead ringer for a Heavy Chevy....less the decals of course. Its an L48 car, purchased from the previous owner of 45 yrs....One quick observation...the interior door panels on the 134 cars almost appear very very similar to the Nova cars of the day? Have you noticed that too?

Heavy chevy came with a rubber mat in the floor

It was just a trim option yf3.

I want it.

Very cool! Malibu gauge cluster?

Light chevy

The poor man's Chevelle SS. The Chevelle SS 454s were expensive even back then.

I had a green one.

Steel housing on the transmission? That makes it a Saginaw. I bet it has a Muncie in it now.

I can remember the Heavy Chevy Decal was on the Back fender well does anyone else know that

Isn't that a standard chevelle dash ?

Most Heavy Chevy’s were 402’s I thought? It’s a shame young people can’t find some of these cars. To many people with to much money buying them up.

Heavy chevys breakdown to like any other car

Surprised these aren't listed among rare cars. Muscle cars.

What do a heavy chevy run price wise now a days

Heavy Chevy is still a Chevelle.

Glorified plain jane Chevelle - a NO performance Chevelle, just like the GT-37 Pontiacs back in the day.

How much???

In 1972 it was over. A heavy Chevy was nothing but a couple stickers.

On the west coast these were the butt of a lot of jokes "back in the day". Thought to be just another lame marketing name.

They were poor mans chevelle just stickers mostly

Dude you ain't got shit on Pat's videos

I love it ❤

Meh, not rare, cheap ss. Unusual but not rare, especially 350 with a peg leg

The only performance heavy Chevy stock from the factory would be the bb LS3 402.

For those of you wondering just WTF good is a heavy Chevy your right we think it was for the people what couldn't swing the insurance cost of the SS 454 So Chevy made some ;lame stripped down model with a decal and a wide strip for those few ..They are worth about as much as your willing to pay I myself depending on condition ..Nothing trick nothing collectable ..

The Chevelle emblem wasn't on the grill on the heavy Chevy.

Flip the air cleaner cover back over ....ahhh...daaa

Small block Chevelles ......yawn.
