Pre Barrett Jackson Pavillions Cruise Pics

I sold the Chevelle several months back. It was a modern project car that never got very far along. I was searching for a real car with race history and ended up buying the ex-Braun Bros. 1955 Chevy C/Gasser last summer. Straight axle, magnesium 5-spokes, and lots of engine setback.

Yeah I know, not really a supercar but still a load of fun to drive on the street. This car was raced by the Braun Bros. with a Hilborn injected 301 from 1964-67 then stored for many years. It has the original magnesium wheels put on in 1964, Kellison Car Co. 'glass tilt nose and doors, 57 Olds rear, lots of engine setback and a tranverse spring straight axle up front. I'm currently trying to shove a really nasty rat motor and 4 speed in it. Really tight with the motor next to your legs!
