Well, ,,, The red is just OK. Wow, I would have liked to see more detail. Does anyone have any Idea what year these photos were taken?

 

Hey Monster,, Thanks for the PHOTOS..

 

i want to say around 1995 i didnt take a lot pics and i still dont of cars that would be a lot of pics!!i did drive it for a few summers 513 gears are fun for a block or 2!Dan the car was changed a lot the interior was gutted so i didnt take a pic wasnt nothing in it a seat and a milk crate.People didnt want gassers in the 80s 90s i did my dad Jake didnt, wouldnt let me put in the shop sat outside the whole time i owned it.Check out pic 3 thats our shop yard no fence accross the street 5 or 6 crack heads next to them a tavern next to it a rairoad salvage yard (yellow machinery)a 40 year old house trailer full of car parts a 1935 ford truck and your 57,i miss the good ol days!!! i did try to find the car around 8 years ago had no luck i was told it went to gov auction.Hey Dan i ll trade those crackheads for your digs anyday you the man!!!!

 

I will have to post some photos of my current car. I need to get to another location to do it so stand by for now.

 

From these pics it looks as if the 57 could still be in decent condition.

Wouldn't that suck if and when it's found, if it's been "updated", TPI, dare I say billet, etc...

 

Wow! That's great to see those photos! So what's the final verdict? Was the engine pushed back out under the hood or did it still have the setback?

 

Looks like someone ruined it for sure. Moving the engine seats ETC<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

the motor was up front when i got it the magazine pics showed it inside i put a motor in it and drove it.that 55 you had was killer also!

 

Well, it looks like we were able to chase this car from the 70's up to 1995. Hopefully somebody will pop in with some new info. The reality of it is that if somebody really replaced the floors and firewall with stock parts it may never be found. Take away the radical setback and change the rolling stock and this 57 could appear to be just another straight axle 57. I hope not though...

 

Thanks Jake! My car had some serious engine setback also but not quite to the extent of the Glover car. That was one of my favorite things about my '55 being the engine setback. Several people commented that the car really "needed" fenderwell headers to be a "Gasser"! Well, if they had seen how far back the engine was set, they would have understood that there was no to install a set of fenderwell headers!

 

Lovin it. Hope to see another update in the near future!

 

Hey guys we need to solved this mystery and find this car.

 

I'm now buildin' a model of this car.

 

mike did say that the firewall replacement was a little rough and there was no dash. even with the motor back in the stock location, it's still odd enough to stand out from the rest of the red '57 chevy's out there...

 

I love the power of the HAMB... I just wish it was found unmolested... Who knows... by now it might be back to its 60s form. :-D

 

NOW THAT would be very COOL!!!

 

just read all the way through this and am astonished! this is amazing. that car is just to wild for my taste but i'll be damned if it dont demand your attention! hope it gets found! i hate to say it but with all the tri-five old men out there this things probably been put back to stock on a stock frame or some shit.. but lets all hope thats not the case.

 

Damn, never had any idea this car was so close to me! I'm going to have to put a word out to some contacts and maybe do some road trippin'!
I've got a '57 stashed back and it needs floors...hhhmmm! How about a 'tribute' with a stack inj.'d all aluminum sbc with a 4spd!?!
Great thread, great stories.

 

I'm not feeling so good - the thought that Dan's AWESOME '57 might have fallen into bad hands and been resurrected into who knows what saddens me. Let's hope that it is in loving hands and being cherished for what it is - a piece of our fantastic car loving teenage years! Please keep looking you guys!

 

Just a little side line.. Here are photos of my curent car. Had it since '87. This is a new body I built for it. These are current photos.

 

Ok!! I knew it! - How's that go? Once a Hot Rodder, always a Hot Rodder. That is a beautiful dragster! Gorgeous color scheme.

Man, when that Bug bites you - it really bites You!

 

I can't believe I read the whole thread! I live real close to Yucaipa, wish I had back then.......

 

Did we hit a dead end? This car has to be out there! Tim

 

From what I understand, the red one above is it now?
