1954 Corvette FUNNY CAR found need info

Gotta ask where you and your friend found that beauty ? ! ? ! ?

Hopefully not in Massachusetts. I live in Kingston and would have to shoot myself if I missed something like that for sale locally . . .

GREAT SCORE ! ! ! Bring it to the cruise night at the Bass Pro Shop just as soon as you get some wheels under it. EVERYONE is gonna want to see it just as it is ! ! ! ! ! !

Luck,

TC

 

I was thinking on the lines of the body with a new legal chassis when I said it would look great in modified sports at Bonneville.

I'm like the others now and more interested in knowing the history of the car if it does have some history behind it.

It would be great at the HAMB drags with a stout small block in it.

 

Yea teamevil , I live in bridgewater but got the car from taunton, the guy I got it from had it quite a while but had no info on it

 

Not that was NHRA/AHRA legal. There were some groups (like SCGA, I think) that had more liberal rules than the national associations. There was a group in the mid west that ran a "Gasser" association that allowed center steer, flip top bodies, and Nitro.

Yea or a 394 olds with history.

Ah the ever elusive early corvette.

 

If it IS actually John Force's car, then he'll probably swap you a running and driving corvette for it.

 

scoooooore!

 

Looks like something Force would have driven "Back in the Day"...

How many pink 1954 Corvette funny cars could there be ?

Well I haven't found anytng yet but I just joined the funnycar site and Gona try to get some pics on there shortly,

 

Weren't the funny cars pretty much late model vehicles? I'd guess more altered or ??

I got an old surfboard skeg you can have stick it on the hood letter the car up "Frank Federici THE SHARK" and go racing

 

This car come out of Maine? I remember as a kid in the 70's being told of a '55 Corvette drag car up here in Maine. I've put a call into my dad and he will call a few of his friends and see what we can come up with. Best wishes, David.

 

i couldn't help myself after seeing this... ( i know that body has a different nose grafted on... but whatever) Could be f'in sweet!

 

In before the non traditional police bitch, but I think that looks bad ass!

 

Thanks Dave, what track would that have been at Oxford, winterport, or Sanford ? Thanks for investigating

There was an early Corvette drag car down in south Texas when I was a kid (early 70's)....it was metallic red....driven by Don Booth. But I seem to remember the proportions being more stock than this one.

I remember being at his shop with my dad right after they finished the paint on it.....and being told not to touch it because the paint wasn't dry yet.

Wouldn't it just be insane if this was Force's car! I'm definitely subscribed to this thread.

 

Call me hypocritical, but I just cringe when I see a solid original Model A cut up.

A Corvette however, I could care less about being cut up.

 

Not to be a killjoy, but how do we know the chassis and body were ever together? Lippy

 

If its full of old dried up B.S. , no doubt it was Force's.
