Richard Ruth built the 55 for the studio,I have a magazine from around 1980 with an interview with him.He said before he turned the car over to the studio he ran it at the strip,went 10.70/127. Incidentally,this is the same 55 used in American Graffiti,they put a flat hood and a L-88 dual plane intake on it and painted it black.Changed interiors and wheels,also.
