Re: Briggs Chevelle Sells for $1,150,000
I am one of the fortunate few who got to see this Chevelle race in 1970 and 1971. This car was the baddest Chevelle around and it was great for us Chevy fans to see it crush all of the Mopars during it's career. Ray Allen was a great driver and you have to give credit to Tom Kling and Ray Trupe as they were the brains around making LS6 horsepower! I only wish Chip would have restored the engine bay as a race car instead of a resto piece. The race history is what sold the car and that's the way it should have been restored. I am happy that NHRA cars are now getting their day in the sun.
