Designer and Inspiration:

The Heavy Chevy was designed by Ira Gilford. It is based on a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle, modified in the style of the "Spoilers" series.

Historical Context and Production Years:

It was released in 1970 as part of the "Spoilers" series and came with Redline (RL) wheels.

Unique Aspects:

Like other "Spoilers," it features a chrome-plated base that incorporates a large, exposed engine and side-exit exhausts that protrude through the diecast body. The casting is based on the Chevelle but was named "Heavy Chevy," a nod to a real-world Chevy performance package.

Similar Castings:

It is a direct contemporary of the other "Spoilers" cars, the "King Kuda" and "Boss Hoss." It is a modified version of what would become the '70 Chevelle SS casting.

Variations and Special Editions:

It was produced in many Spectraflame colors, with blue and purple being common. U.S. and Hong Kong versions have slight casting differences.
