Hi everyone,
just out of interest: Does anybody of you know the story of
Chevron after the death of Dereck Bennett in 1978?
Many thanks.
Best,

No problem Marcus. It's only a start though, there doesn't seem to be much going on at the moment but it may lead somewhere.....
Shame, great cars....

Brian,
thanks a lot, that`s very interesting.
I knew of Vin Malkie as a high calibre racing service for
Chevrons.
As far as I know, former works driver John Burton is still
campaigning or at least used to campaign one of Malkie`s
Chevrons in the Orwell Super Sports Cup.
Amazing he`s now offering a kind of continuation car.
Best,
Marcus | |

There are no problems with Chevrons or their spares. Hundreds of them running worldwide. Fitted a new front, repaired the roof, rear end and resprayed a B8 some months ago.

Marcus | You can purchase a custom built B16 frame from Active Power and yes it can be made for the Chevy powerplant and it WILL have some real muscle
and Chris makes frames that will hold up on the U.S. streets unlike the aluminum tub type frames that were NEVER meant to be driven on our streets and back roads ..... go over a few pot holes and speed bumps and see how an aluminum tob frame holds up ?????
I can also direct you to B16 bodys in the U.S. that are made for beefy Chevy power installs ...... | |
