Small Block Chevy Pins and Buttons
Description: A bold vintage-art tribute to the 1969 Chevrolet Nova L79 327, the high-revving small-block street machine that proved the 350-horsepower L79 327 in a light Nova body was a formula for exhilarating performance at a remarkably reasonable cost, shown in vivid Fathom Green. For the Nova fan who knows the L79 option transformed the compact Chevy into a genuine performance machine that made much heavier big-blocks work harder.
Description: The new-for-'62 Chevy II was based around a new series of small engines, but engineers included enough space to fit a small-block V-8 which of course, is what every hot rodder wants in a lightweight, compact car like the Nova. For $1,500 one could install a small-block V-8 in any 1962 or '63 Chevy II, from the cheapest two-door sedan to the top-of-the-line Nova 400 convertible. Seeing buyers upgrading to V8 power, Chevrolet eventually relented, offering special a 170-hp 283 and 250-hp 327 engines for the Chevy II. With more ponies under the hood, these lightweight cars were not only spirited drivers, but made for excellent street racers that could hold their own against the big boys and even dominate with some upgrades and tuning.
Description: A vivid vintage-art tribute to the 1970 Corvette LT1, the small-block high-performance Corvette that out-revved every big block in the lineup with its solid-lifter 370-horsepower 350 that many drivers preferred to the heavier 454, shown in Bridgehampton Blue. For the Corvette enthusiast who knows the LT1 represents the philosophy that a lighter, higher-revving small block makes a better sports car than any torque-heavy big block.
Description: 1958 Chevrolet Impala side view The 1958 Chevrolet models were longer, lower, and wider than their predecessors. The tailfins of the 1957 were replaced by deeply sculptured rear fenders. Impalas had three taillights each side, while lesser models had two and wagons just one. The Impalas included crossed-flag insignias above the side moldings, as well as bright rocker moldings and dummy rear-fender scoops. (text courtesy of wikipedia)
