And they are the best looking cars ever produced imo.

Terry is correct, '55 Chevys are allowed to race stock in IHRA. One is campaigned by a fellow from the mid west -Kansas City or somewhere, his last name is Hillig I think. It's a crate motor car, all black hardtop-one of the nicest restos/race cars I've seen. He has a brother that races a crate motor '68 camaro, C/CM I think and lives in the Carolinas. Silver paint, just as nice as the '55, and used to run it with a 327 in E or F stock .

They (55 Chev.) run in Q/SA with the stock 265/180 HP 4 barrel carb...one was at the double points race at MIR (Budds Creek). I should have looked at it closer to see who owned it. It was about 6 tenths under the index.
