1970 Black on Black W-31 4 speed

Here is the 69 Chevelle. I bought this from John Kunsak. It was an IHRA A-stock national record holder in the late 80's. I bought it about 1991 with 17,000 miles on it...all 1/4 mile at a time...lol.

I know there are many COOL STORIES to come out of MCACN but the SMILES on the original owners face with his beautiful wife he courted in that car was just TOO COOL!!! GREAT JOB to everyone involved!!

And the likely hood that the Barker Brothers and associates may have bolted this Lansing missile together adds something to the story too [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

and my 57 Chevy. This was bought from Dan Chisholm, who is now racing a '55 gasser i believe

sorry. the chevelle was a record holder in the late 70's. not 80's. it was a malibu but built as a COPO replica with 427 for the A stock class. i had a couple different 454s in it. my fast time was 11.69 at 116 MPH at quaker city in salem ohio. i also raced it at norwalk

Very cool that you're here Dan. Really like the white headers on the W-31. Welcome aboard!!!

[dhay13]

Thanks. those headers were the ceramic coated ones. i think they were blackjack. i sold the car cause i wanted to race and didn't want to tear up the W31. i sold the 57 in 2003 and walked away from it. my son started racing professional karts for awhile so we focused on that. he raced with a few NASCAR drivers (Jamie McMurray and Erik Jones) and Indy car drivers (Mark Dismore). that was our goal for him but our pockets weren't deep enough so we sold all that a few years ago too. no fast vehicles in the family anymore [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
