Hot Rods This is a gasser look at the details (shake ,rattle and run)

We have my grand mothers 1966 buick la sabre sport coupe white and black interior
super turbine 400 tranny wild cat

 

Hate to here of Erik's passing that was a wonderful video

Really goes to show just how much class these Chi-town boys had they really knew how to roll !!!
fast cars, pretty ladies, big black Caddys and Harleys
I know that heavy construction company I used to have 6 of those big green weenies - terex ts18's
they came out of dyer Indiana would move mountains.

 

Is it just me or, does anyone else find it kinda' quirky that this thread has come to light a little more than 2 years to the day of Erik's passing??? God bless 'ya, Erik Schmidt. R.I.P. [emoji56]

the cars and ladies came with a high cost. that being prison time. racers yes choir boys no.

 

Everything comes with a price, some just have to pay more than others. No choir boy here, either.

dig your old photo's out if you got any of it legends never die

 

Perfect...you could nearly recreate the moment...don't get rid of it...

 

Ok here is a video on youtube if someone can post it.
Drag Racing in the 60's part 4 Shake Rattle and run
notice the tow car another Caddy

when blown up the car in the picture spells chevelle on the back of it

 

...ille...the body alone gives the main clue...this pic may be a bit clearer.

Looks like a Bonneville to me

the Caddys must have came later after some victories

 

Racing a decked out Evil, Wicked, Mean and Nasty 57 and getting it back and forth with a Near Brand New Bonneville isn't to bad either...perhaps they even sported tri power 389's or 421's to boot...

 

These are the only engine pictures I have run across. These pictures not being at a track really make me wonder where they were taken. These pictures look to be at least a season on two later the the pictures in the original post.

 

I said it just a bit ago....look at the set back on this thing....talk about weight transfer

I lied about being the only engine shot I have seen, but this one is newer, maybe the early eighties. For what its worth, this is the current Shake Rattle & Run. There was an article in the local Gearhead news claiming the body is still the original, having been wrecked and rebuilt. There was a full on pro mod shake rattle and run in the late nineties that bear little resemblance to a real 1957 Chevy, and I hope to never see that ugly thing again!
Mods, If the last pic is to off topic I will delete it.

 

I note three names on the door in the black and white pics...I tried to find pics when CB......(maybe CB is Casper) owned it as it was apparently named by him...that would be interesting to see as well...mind you the OP likes the 65ish version but it would help round the history of this long story...

 

no problem awesome finds I have not seen those must have went to big block cool pics thx.

 

I see the Hancock Building but not the Sears Tower in the skyline, that should give a decent time frame from when the pic. was taken. [emoji41]

 

I remember seeing the car at K K dragway in Wisconsin in the summer of 69 . I was driving a 57 Chevy E/Gas car for a guy back then. It was a C/Gas car at the time and it was one bad hot rod. It had the vinyl top then if I remember .

 

I think that is the Prudential Building, rather than Hancock. Hancock construction started 1965, completed 1969. Hancock is a dark brown color, to Prudential's white color.

Look just to the left of the hood scoop. You can see the antennas on the top of the 'Cock. [emoji41]

 

I remember seeing the car at the Cordova, IL drag strip. It was bad and very well done. The driver and pet crew were know to be bad boys. I would like to know more about the jail time comment.

 

A couple I have posted in the tri five gasser thread.

 

You mean those guys...I mean Hoodlums they made Movies About......Hot Rod Rumble...

From the Oct. '77 issue of Cars.
The story has changed a little over the years, and the Messinos did have some legal trouble also. I really liked the car, but not the Pro Mod version.

 

My 57 will be shakin and ratteling getting ready to roll

 

Fordors.........appreciate the heads up regarding their legal issues. Obviously, they lived up to their reputation. There is a lot of info regarding their convictions on cocaine trafficing. thx

 

The car is usually at union grove on memorial day and labor day.
