1955 Chevy Gasser/Drag car

**SOLD**


1955 Chevy Gasser/drag car.

Here’s the deal. This car was build as a drag car in the late 70’s. Raced at Lapeer drag way. It’s built up as a sort of gasser, only with a bit more modern drivetrain, and no straight axle.

It’s definitely function over form, but a pretty cool piece. I picked it up years ago with the idea of turing it into more of a street car(ala Two lane style) but I’m building a new shop and could really use some funds to finish up.

Here’s the good:
496 Stroker, Eagle forged rotating assembly, Aluminum GM oval port performance heads, Quickfuel 950 carb.
Built T400, trans brake.
TCI 8” Torque converter, 3500 stall
12 Bolt rear
Fiberglass hood/doors/trunk
Full cage
Fuel cell
MSD
Front disc conversion
Have 2 different sets of wheels depending. Have the Centerlines with Skinny’s/slicks, or the Daisy’s with street tires(new rears)
Ect, ect....Plenty more, I can chat with anyone interested.


The bad:

It’s kinda rough in some ways, but it was a
Race car for 30 years and I tried to preserve it in that fashion. The floors were previously patched, functional but not great.
Headlights are not wired up. Now the other bad. Last time I drove it, it wiped out the distributor gear. Bought a gear, but pretty sure the cam gear is worn as well. Put it away for a rainy day, but with everything going on, wouldn’t be a bad idea to move it, if anyone wanted a cool nostalgic 55.

I’ll try some pics, but can take plenty more.
