Great thread. Makes me want to dig my '65 out of storage and finish it up. Almost. I want to finish my '39 Olds coupe gasser and my '31 A coupe first.

this was my 62 in 1964

One of my favorites too. I'll see if any of the local guys have a picture I can scan.

rocky larocca · 03-14-2012, 05:17 PM

couple pics of my 57 gasser .... been missing in my garage over 15 years i looked up today and found it

rocky larocca · 03-14-2012, 05:20 PM

few more

jimdillon · 03-14-2012, 05:25 PM

Rocky what's the story on the 57 on the lift? Any history? There were so many 56/57 that ran in MSP and then later in gas. Always hoping we can fill in some of the history.-Jim

firstgear · 03-14-2012, 08:24 PM

Ok, not exactly a gasser, but my '60 Vette.....

57ford/60thunderbird · 03-14-2012, 08:44 PM

groucho can also be found at hotrodders.com

**brigrat** · 03-14-2012, 08:56 PM

Not a gasser but keeping track of this one, in hiding for a few decades now, not my favorite year so I don't pursue it like I should...................

AHotRod · 03-14-2012, 08:57 PM

Early Vette's are so wicked.... wish I had the cash to have one.

jimdillon · 03-14-2012, 09:41 PM

Brigrat, the car looks like it is worth pursuing. Although I like 61/62s best, 58-60s are great cars. A pretty good example is this one from Indiana. I would love to park this car in my barn for sure.

Herb your 60 looks as good as ever.-Jim

Nice 60 vette, it would be great to continue its' "Hot Rod " past. But the extra insulation on the floor is a bit over done. Yes, some header heat will come up, but ????

550Coupe · 03-14-2012, 10:34 PM

My cousin Dave Costanza's 65' B/FA Vette. Black metalflake, 327" stroker (352"), Hilborn injection, Art Carr Torqueflyte. Ashley, In. 1970.
Anybody recognize this car?

ls7gto · 03-14-2012, 10:57 PM

This is one that My buddy Jeff just did at Ludwig customs in Denver Pa.

ChevyGasser Madness · 03-14-2012, 11:26 PM

Well....I am working on a 62 with gasser stance..... but here are some pics of a 1:18th diecast Corvette that I modified into gasser mode...a lil outrageous but fun.......

just a little off topic from the real deal but it does get you revved up a bit

Ha ha those guys take these cars far too seriously, I'd like to show up to a NCRS meet with a gassified 55 pushed by a big block Ford :P LOL
