1969 Chevy Kingswood Estate – Grandma’s Ranch Car
“You want to go how fast with what?” That was the typical reaction George Castlemaine Sevelle V—”Cas” for short—got from transmission shops, rearend suppliers, and pretty much everyone he ran across while building this ’69 Chevy Kingswood Estate.
“You want to go how fast with what?” That was the typical reaction George Castlemaine Sevelle V—”Cas” for short—got from transmission shops, rearend suppliers, and pretty much everyone he ran across while building this ’69 Chevy Kingswood Estate. The goal was to make around 1,000 hp in a car that weighed 5,000 pounds—a car he would take to the track on slicks. Combining that power and weight with good traction is a formula that equals broken parts, and many of the shops Cas talked to wanted no part of the liability associated with his crazy dream. But a few did, and the result is a 10-second behemoth.
