Yes, I was wondering if anyone knew of a 1955 chevy altered wheel base car thought to be raced around the richmond, VA area. It was run by joe Pritchard and says "BOOGIE RAT" on the door but could have been different before. The wheelbase is 102 inches. That's all I know so anything specially pictures would help. Thank you
Hit Howard up.... He knows a bunch of folks from that area. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/member.php?u=67134
Here is what it looks like now. Did not originally have a glass front end it had steel fenders and hood with aluminum where the lights went and a hood scoop.
I believe that car was from Longview Texas. Belonged to Steve Hart. Was a 55, fiberglass front end, 427 big block with a crash box 4 speed. Had a rat holding a ripped out shifter painted across a blue bow tie on the doors. Was a 10 second car in the late 80’s. I know it made an issue of Hot Rod magazine around that same time. Last I saw it was late 80’s. Was a bad car!! I have some old pics of it I can probably find and post if you’re interested.
