Ray Allen's Briggs Chevelle at BJ 06

[csx289]

A buddy of mine owns the car and is taking it to BJ. At SEMA he told me he is doing one side of the car with all of the decals, wheels, tires, etc. to replicate its racing days, the other side stock LS6. So the new owner only has to change whichever half he (or she?) doesn't like! Should be interesting.

Colin, do you know if those decals will be magnetic? What about the suspension and other race mods, will they be on the car or not? Very interesting.

The LS6 is a neat car with lots of history but I doubt it will get to the million mark. The Superbird as well unless one guy picks both up for a Mil total

Colin, Is it true that Ray has sold the Chevelle? Or is Ray your buddy? Who is taking the car to BJ? Half "Drag Car" and half "Restored Original"? That is going to sit crooked at BJ.

------Yah, Colin,,,What he said. Will one wheel well be trimmed out and one not??? One 14/32 and Cragar on one side of the rear and one SS wheel and Uniroyal on the other??? Spool on one side and not on the other........HUH???? Well, that might be just a bit odd. Traction might suffer a bit........Bill S

Jeeze, guys, just telling you what he told me. I think he is doing removable decals and obviously not trimming sheetmetal!!! I asked about how it would sit and he said he was "working on that". I presume the car will be on a display, ie, not on its wheels??

I do beleive he bought the car from Ray. But, I only chatted with him over a quiet game of poker, I might have missed something. LOL

Colin could you imagine what your buddy Allen D will say in his BJ commentary when this car runs across the block as a half and half?

I sure hope he doesn't open the cowl induction "Bonnet" and try to explain how the cold air is pressurized at the base of the "Windscreen" before it is introduced into the carb then into the al-um-in-ni-um intake manifold. They really need to get someone who knows American Musclecars to explain the features of these cars.
