Not positive..But is is a BB Ford.....I do know that.

Jeff Norwell · 2013-08-22 18:38

SWEET!

That is killer..is that the same car as that black boss 429 one, also called Bone Shaker? Very cool car any way you slice it.

very very nice. I also like the grille treatment...looks like the "outer band" of the grille was trimmed down on the top and sides....interesting. Like the cutouts in the nose piece also.
Chevy? Is that what's behind the smoke? That car looks bad to the bone just sitting.

You scared me when I read 1-2-3- Lift Off . I first thought that it meant lift of as in "body lift off". Nice looking 57.
Glad that he smoked that taxi cab, but to me they look more like that school bus out back where I keep spare parts.

hiball3985 · 2013-08-22 21:27

Just noticed the headlight treatment..

Looks like a one piece fiberglass front clip with a painted on grill, very cool.

Not sure James..This car is called the "Boneshaker III".... so maybe this is a 3rd Gen race car...... I will call some pals and investigate further.
In the last 3-5 years.. the Northeast has become a hotbed of Nostalgia racing.From Ohio eastward has more Gasser style racing than anywhere else.
I love the car..... but a few friends asked me when I got my 57 if I was doing a race car.......I could never bring myself to cut mine up.

Jeff....lol....no wonder you Canadians don't have a space program...it's 3-2-1-liftoff, not 1-2-3-!
Found the Chevy..didn't see the slide bar below the photos.

Good catch
Who made fiberglass front clips for 57's? Not that I want one, I'm not a drag racer, just curious.
