any one got pics of a 58 chevy gasser?

any one got pics of a 58 chevy g***er?

 

Here's one,

 

dont think it was done much. ive always wondered about it tho

 

That would be a little heavy wouldn't it?

 

yup, but 58s are such a slick design

 

looks mean, wonder why its not as common as a tri five?

 

There was just one on Ebay last week...supposed to be original from the 60's or 70's. Called the "blast from the past" Real clean body and paint but no driveline. It did have old win stickers in the back window. Bidding barely topped $1000

 

They seem to be more of a factory custom than a racer.
To me anyway.

well, i dont think the x-frame would lend itself well to the front leaf and straight axle without a bit of work. thats what made me think twice

 

there is a very nice 58 that runs with the Midwest G***ers. I wish I had a pic to show you. No straight axle, but who says a straight axle is necessary qualification to be a g***er. There are actually quite a few X-frame cars that run. You may have seen the black 60 Chevy that twists itself all up. Runs 10.0 on a small block 331.

 

that 60 has a small block?! christ i figured it was a nasty 409 or 396 or something. sweet!


this one?

 

Here's the one that was on ebay,

 

yup, that is Ron Johnson showing his stuff at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI. He leaves on a transbrake at 10k rpm. Nice guy

wow, now i really wanna see it in action. ive seen vids, but i wanna be closer

 

Heavy don't matter in Gas cl***. It goes by weight, A/Gas is the lightest, and so on down the alphabet. A '58 would probably run in E/Gas.

Give me a couple of years (unemployed now), I'm doing my '58 as a gas-style street car.

 

That has to be the most twisted out of shape launch I have ever seen!!! Man does that thing ever hook!!!! That would be a hell of a rush!!!! Just plain awesome!!

 

kinda looks like he's gotta be sanding down that p***enger side rear quarter panel on those launches.

 

Damn If I had any money I would have been on this

 

that is BAD!!!

 

the orange 58 was built by a HS cl***mate/friend in the central jersey area, he buils some great stuff, mostly 61-64 inpalas. also has a 58 vette, 57 t bird, 65 chevelle 2 door wagon, 31 vicky. still workin out a few "bugs" on the 58, but it will be seen making p***es locally this summer

 

You might not call it a g***er, but I think it is the baddest 58 I've ever layed eyes on.

 

the factory light weight specs on the delray is 3300 comparibly within about 100 lbs of all the tri fives.

 

Do you have any pics of yours?

 

no... no pics yet its all torn apart

 

That 60 looks like it has "3 wheel motion" without hydraulics!

 

Any more info or pics on this 58?

There's a '58 sedan delivery sitting-in-the-weeds picture somewhere on the web I've seen. Probably right here on the HAMB, but I'm not sure.
