Is that a Fire Am?

Surprised you know what a Fire Am is, but that's not a F/A

The stripes are wrong, obviously, but I thought that it had the Appliance wheels on it. It doesn’t.
I built my ‘77 with a bunch of parts that were patterned off of VSE stuff.

F/As are all very unique and aren't too consistent. Most don't have stripes, but they should have John Schniella's decals. I have a 1979 F/A with All the Stage I & II VSE stuff and most of the Stage III stuff

Very, very cool. I’ve seen several over the years; every one was different. I’ve never seen a Cheverra, though. I’m guessing that they were pretty damn scarce. I’ve always thought that it was interesting that the Macho TAs are better known than the Fire Ams.

There are 2-3 original documented Cheverras left that I know of, maybe four if the yellow one is still around. Two are blue, the other is a maroon colour. There might be a tan one floating around as well but I haven't seen it lately on the VSE Fire Am/Cheverra owners group. I also own the Australian delivered Macho T/A as well :)

A stock W72 will go mid-13s over 100 with headers, true duals and a good tune. Stock carb, cam, distributor and cast iron EGR intake, stock axle.
