The tail lights were a dead giveaway. We liked our 50s Chevys too. I got left in the dusk of a 55 Nomad after laughing at him at red light wanting to 'drag'.frontend almost left pavemnet then he fish tailed it leaving me in rubbered smoke.
When I had my Dodge Superbee , I whipped many guys with a lot more power than me, but they didn't have the right tires and we're too light in the rear end , and couldn't get off the line.
Yes it's a hemi....I sure wish I still had it.

But we were to have fixed our little problem with a 456 [I think thats the one] positive traction rea end,didn't work.
54 chevy 3100
year?
I have no idea what this thing is... It was labeled 1938 Dymaxion. It looks like something out of a Buck Rodgers show.
Since the election still isn't settled I thought I'd upgrade.
My grandpa had a 1949 model, similar color even.
I guessed right! 1967! The front headlghts and the grill were just too remonescent of my 67 impala.

I have a few MOPARs.
The most drag worthy is this Silver Bullitt Replica.
The 572 Hemis really pull hard. Mine is running a mechanical roller cam and two Edelbrock 850cfm four barrels.
I stuck with an auto shifting 727 Torqueflite and a 3.73 Dana 60.
The modern tires make it drive well.

Love it.
Would love to take it for a ride.
I kick myself for ever selling my 68 Bee.
It was a monster.

Yep the 572 is a blast.
I have a 1970 Superbee - post car with a factory original V code 440 Six Pack and column shift auto.
There weren't many built - the Road Runner was much more popular.
It could be the only triple Black one........
Those 70's 440's were the unsung heros for mopars and bad news for us.
The State Troopers couldn't catch us in the early days with their hopped-up 383's.
In 1970 they dropped that monster 440 engine in every dam trooper car, everywhere!
The game had changed. We went back to the garage and started working with Chevy 454's.
From a 1-ton pickup truck, it needed a LOT of work!
We did have a leg up on'em: Ours didn't have to idle nice on the side of the road while a ticket was being written.
But don't get me wrong, if you missed 1 gear, you were a caughtass. They were GOOD!
Here is a little Chevy Fun. Sure sounds good. I like the way it chirps the tires in time to the thump
