It’s not everyday that you see a 1953 Chevrolet on the drag strip. Period. But to see one that runs 9’s and looks like this is a pretty cool deal. And it is a real deal street car as proven on Drag Week and now coming to Rocky Mountain Race Week in just a week! 1320Video did a cool video on it at the Street Car Takeover event in Dallas where it was running in the 10.0 class and beating all but one car at the whole event. This thing is rad. Watch and you’ll agree.
Here’s all the info from 1320Video:
SCT Dallas did not disappoint with the old school muscle this year! Not only did this 1953 Belair THROW DOWN, but it does so in sleeper status. Besides the intercooler out front, the old green color with the patina on top along with the old smoothie wheels, this car is very unsuspecting. It was a blast to watch this thing not only take down TWO Hellcats, but an R35 GTR as well! The cherry on top to this video was a race between the Belair and an old Hemi Cuda that just happened to be one of the closest races we have filmed! Cannot wait to see this car later this year!
The 1320 video on the ’70 Cuda he lost to is pretty cool, as well.
