the search for the chevy

Years ago I remember seeing this flamed purple chevy in a small add in a car magazine. I was young an remember this car being "kool" to me. It still is an I wanna find it. This is the ONLY photo I could find of it. Any info would be appreciated in helping me find a piece of my past.

 

Oo where did you find the current photo ... that might help in your search, and what year did you first view it?

 

I found the current photo by chance looking up "flamed purple chevy" an it was the only thing I could find. I was probably 8 when I first saw the car. I do remember it had astro supremes an pinner whites. I just checked Rik Hoving massive collection of photos an even HE doesn't have one of it! I'm losing hope...

 

I remember that car, from a mid ´90s R&C i think. I belive it was on the cover, but my memory isn´t too reliable...

not a cover car...just found a site with every r&c cover...some kool ones, but not THEE one.

 

yep I had that pic color photocopied and up on the wall in the shop back then,always loved the paint on it.

 

holy crap! so you were 8 years old in the mid 90's? god damn am i old!

 

look for r&c calenders my buddy has a side shot hanging in his garage.

 

Found another picture of it! it's a 3 inch picture in a u.s. radiators add (it's the very add I first saw it in all those years ago!)...unfortunately it doesn't give me any more info than I have...so, please post pictures if you have em.

 

I don't know anything about it... I think I have seen photos of it in some magazine in the 1990's early 2000s... but I'm not sure.

Here is one photo of it from my own personal Collection.

 

The name on the front fender is The Night Walker if that rings a bell with any one.

 

That is, (or was), owned by Doug Vaughn in Long Beach, CA. A full feature is in The Rodders Journal number 7. Great car.

 

Rik, you are the king. That picture is going over the mantle. Thanks for the help guys.

 

holy moly !! the HAMB comes to the rescue again!!

 

After a lil more looking I found that it WAS on the cover of r&c, january 1997. I will most likely be ordering that issue....

 

Yep, he was/is a member of the Sultans Car Club of Long Beach...I used to see this car every Friday night at the Garden Grove main street cruise and at the Sultans picnic in Signal Hill each year...haven't seen it lately, though...

 

Lifting an old thread, but I just went through the box with my 90s R&C magazines and found it, January 1997 and it IS on the cover.
Sometimes my memory isn´t as bad as I think...

Great looking car!

 

Perfect Mild Custom Chevy....nicely done.
