    I'm looking for photos or info on the location of a 1955 Chevy called "Burning Hell." My friend and his father owned it in the 90's and sold it on to someone in the SFV.

    I know it was red, owned by two brothers, may of been an AWB car, raced at Lions with a SBC on fuel.

    Thanks
     
  2. You sure it wasn't blue, and called "Blown Hell"?

    100% sure it wasn't the Blown Hell car.

    From what I was told the frame was a hack job.

    Update. The car was called, "Red Hell." It was sold off again and last known to be in the SFV in 2007. It wasn't an AWB car, but did match race the Blown Hell car. The frame was front and rear Z'd to lower the car at some point in time.

    I had a Moon Wagon as a kid also. I loved it. I've seen a few on Ebay, just too much.

    the car was candy red with gold leaf lettering

    while he was on vacation from his paint body shop his crew ''suprised'' the original owner by repainting it ....was never as nice since ...ray the owner lost interest in the car&his brother moved outtown....it was towed with a pontiac safaria wagon...
