Re: My '65 A/FX Chevelle
Cool vintage race car. These Old school race cars/gassers are making a strong come back.
How did it handle thru the traps?

Re: My '65 A/FX Chevelle
Not bad, but being I just got it, not really "in it". Of course, hard to get too serious, as the car has 3:08s in it, for street cruising (yeah, right).
Besides gears, needs some shocks, either more motor or less carb (2 600s on a SBC) and a few other minor details. I am thinking a Gasser shootout. Tinker's Toy, Physcho II, Budnate's Chevelle and Mo's Nova. All leaving on their rear bumpers.   Barnhart can show us rookies how it is done.

Re: My '65 A/FX Chevelle
Mo actually found it. From Illinois, I am guessing was part of the MDRA (Midwest Drag Racing Association), as the car seems to fit the rules they had back then for these types of cars.

Re: My '65 A/FX Chevelle
That car is soooo cool 65 is my favorite year Chevelle, Malcolm Durham and Dickie Harrell both built their own type of "Thunderbolt" 64 Chevelles, Malcolm made his 64 into a 65, Harrell changed to a Nova and retired the Chevelle. Leave it to Tom and Rob to get something else cool. Great job guys!

Re: My '65 A/FX Chevelle
You are right, those were a couple of cool cars. Since getting the Chevelle, I have been going through my old SS&DI magazines looking for similar cars. Malcolm's is on the cover of one issue, in color.

Note that the car still retains it's stainless trim, emblems, grille, etc.
