    Chevado was a really neat car but it sure looks "bleached out" in its current livery.

    Hey fellas... I cleaned up this thread a bit... If you have a problem with another member, please take it off-line or off the forum... Not really our thing to host that stuff.

    Thanks!

  14. Yes. Porter is a great driver, one of the best out there with HP and a stick. The car is set on kill always and runs in the high 8s. Very strong performer .

    I met Greg and Tony Turner (Quick/Dirty) at the CHRR ? two ? years ago, not sure if Tony traveled with Greg or not but Tony introduced me to Greg, wish I'd had more time to chat, they were busy. But boy did I get to see that ol green 55 run, couldn't get enough of it.

    This one was insprational for me towards the love of a cool 55 chevy. I saw this in a magazine around probably 83 or 84 (still have the mag) I dont think I had ever heard of a Gasser or a Street freak at the time all I knew was that this was one cool jacked up 55 chevy:cool:
    When I was probably about 11 or 12 A friend of my Dads with a family connection brought his family (wife, and three kids about my age at the time)down on a couple hour drive to our house one weekend in a red 55 just like this one, only it was factory height with slightly narrower cragars:eek::eek:.......If I wasnt already a 55 guy, I definitely was now as I just about flipped out!:confused: I couldnt even believe it was in our drive way:D:D

    He was a tri five guy and I remember a few he had, years later I heard he only gave or got 3500 for that one:rolleyes:
