My dad's '57 will do a 12.88 all day long. He bought it in 1972, and with enough money left over, bought a wrecked '67 Camaro, and swapped the drivetrain.. That Bel Air has been running the MP-coded 302ci, Muncie M-21, and 4.10 Posi 12-bolt for almost 40 years.. We've taken it to Classic Automotive Restoration Specialists down in Belews Creek, NC to bring it back to it's former glory..

@Sarcasticscum Do you have any pictures/videos of it? I would like to check it out. I have a 57 myself, it has a mild big block and 4speed. I have a couple of videos of it.

Enjoyed the video, great Chev ford rivalry. Just a shame some people have to take the rivalry to extremes and post trash talk. Thanks again for the video

[spockistheman]

[5BobbyDavis]

I love it! and I'm a die hard Chevy guy,but I also know fords can be fast too.I'v had a few myself,and beat a few Chevys in my day also.

@56WagonWheel yes i agree...enjoy the show 

[devja71]

i can hear all the magazine-readers seconds before the race "that badass chevy's gonna kill that pos ford!"

[Racemojo]

Why can't you all just enjoy the video? its great to see good clean competition, the Ford just came out on top this time! I'm a Ford man will die a Ford man,but you have to respect the fact that the same amount of work goes into both cars! And btw before you rant go back to school to spell properly you look like even more of an idiot!!!

@spockistheman

If we stop by while it's being restored, I'll make a video.. I currently have some photos of it in it's glory days.. I could scan them and email em to you if you want.. Just send me your email address in a private message. It's truly one-of-a-kind.. Sure, it isn't #s matching, but the sheer nostalgia that it radiates is intoxicating..

@johntdso right on TRASH TALK don't help either side prove their point . i love my bow ties , but if the guy next to me is into fords or mo - pars so what ? life is short ,cheer for the one you like and let it go at that . P.S. I THINK THAT WE ALL SHOULD LOVE OUR MOTHER COUNTRY . MINE IS THE U . S . of A. yours ?
