I don't know much about the '55, but my friend owned a '57 back when I was 21. I naively commented commented that it looked so heavy. He told me it looked heavy, due to the deceptive shape, but he told me it only weighed a hair over 3k lbs. There was a lot of space under that shell. Nowadays, they pack all the components in tightly, making it a fuckin' chore to do simple jobs!
I dream of one day owning one, preferably painted black, on an Art Morrison Chassis, with a nice big rat engine (454 or even a 572 crate) and running it at Santa Pod.
Love my 55. We had at least 5 in our life time and a 56. Street racing was fun
Got to have respect for the 55 heavy Chevy

WOW that might be 1of the greatest races of all time 🚕
Look up 1955 Chevy with Merlin engine in it. Now that’s a bad ass Chevy.😎
Next time, don't give the camera to the guy with Parkinsons.
11.70 is a good time for a streetable 55...plus the fact it looks so great takes it over the top for me!
Damn straight!!
Huh...don't see any electric cars.

Wow. What a surprise! A blown v8 beats a 4cyl diesel....I didNOT see that coming! But can that blown '55 beat my '74 1 battery golf cart???
55’s are hot but anybody can beat a pregnant roller skate.
When will those ricers ever learn not to get their hearts set on beatin a V8!
love 55 Chevy burnouts they are the shit
Gm should make 55s again
Gladly that the cameras on a phone are much better this day's
Camera 📸 can't handle the speed of those vihicles.....
Michael J.Fox did a good job recording this.
That is a sick comment but very funny
When was this dude? Thought I could see Wayne on the start line
Starts @ 1:36, skip the rest
Well I hope so!!
Nice Nokia.
75,000 Views and only 400 likes, Jeez! shakey shakey...........
That’s a ‘56!
Nice! And the 55 isn’t even that fast! VW must have pulled a few plug wires
Wow that is one slow Chevy. Looks good though
There is nothing slow about an 11 second car running on a rev limiter after a fresh build.
You out ran a VW all by yourself?
I like that '55, but I was thinking the same thing.
That 55 was at the finish line before the VW got off the starting line.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
haha what a joke
