Allison powered 64 malibu!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE tell me someone has more pics or info on this chevy! i guess it was featured in hot rod at some point and used to be powered by twin 400 inch olds motors and then was converted to allison power and driven on the street!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love 64/65 chevelles but ive never seen this one until last night (plus i thought ive seen every hot rod issue there is, guess not) here's the pics........

 

Wow! Never saw that one either.

 

It got 1 mpg.

 

i have that one....its in one of twenty boxes out in the garage..i remember reading that issue

 

i cant get over it! i think its sooooo cool!

 

see...so a 906 Seagrave in a Packard 120 may not be so outa the box after all...I'm just sayin'...

 

ALWAYS fun to see smeting done (that WORKS!) that hasn't been done before!

 

I love the 4 carbs!

 

I think there was a article in Dice Magazine a year or two ago.... Maybe it was Old School Rodz or something like that....

 

thanks ill try and look that up

 

I wonder if this car is still out there somewhere?? I would love to restore something odd like this!!

 

Deluxe Mag , Issue #3 had a write up on this car and Ed Wood.

 

wasnt this car for sale a while back less motor??

 

WOw thank you so much im going to order that issue today

 

X--G***ER where did you see it for sale?

 

I have that issue.... Good luck with finding that one.....

 

i found it as a back issue on the website its 25 bucks

 

Yeah me too, it would take a week for me to find it though

 

I met Ed's son at the March Meet a few years ago - just when that story came out (I think I had a story in that same issue). Great guy and a chip off the old block - he has a killer roadster! Sat in it and showed me photos of his dad's Chevelle...

 

I think this is where they switch over to the gpm measurement.

 

I remember seeing that in a magazine, when I was a kid. wahoo I want one.

 

Would the owner of that thing be "THE" Ed Wood?

 

I was thinking the same thing, but you beat me to it.

 

Not this car, but similar idea, V12 Merlin powered 55 Chev.

Remember "Big Al", the '32 Ford sedan with an Allison?
