1955 CHEVY GASSER, NUCLEAR YELLOW (DECEPTION) 1200 MILES. THIS IS THE BADDEST 55 CHEVY GASSER ON THE PLANET. ON THE COVER OF ROD & CUSTOM MAGAZINE. THIS GASSER IS STUNNING, INSIDE.OUTSIDE, ENGINE & COMPARTMENT. TRUNK, UNDERSIDE IS NICE AS THE OUTSIDE.


THE RADIUS WHEEL ARCHES REALLY MAKE A GASSER LOOK SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE SQUARE WHEEL ARCHES. PICTURES DO NOT DO THIS CAR JUSTICE.

'55 Gasser Best parts used Mosler 9in rear with Nickey Chevrolet ladder bars, Speedway front end with power disc brakes, Autometer dash and gauges, Too much to list.

HOT ROD’s coverage of SEMA 2013 shone the spotlight on a 1968 Cougar that was built as a replica of a Hot Wheels model. Here’s another kid-fantasy built as a replica of Monogram’s “Badman” 1955 Chevy gasser.



Designed in 1969 by Tom Daniel, the Badman 1/24 plastic model was equipped with a big-block 396, chopped top, radiused wheel wells, GMC 6-71 blower, Gilmer belt drive, red tinted windows, and a fully detailed chassis with straight tube front axle. Countless American kids built the Badman throughout the years (it’s been reissued several times), but it was Chris Darland of Chris’ Hot Rodz who was the impetus of this life-size version of the famed model.





While attending SEMA 2010, the Medford, OR resident bought a Johnny Lightning version of the model and gave it to David Kiff, owner of Pacific Tool & Gauge. He recalled the the wild, wheelin’ drag machine from his youth and immediately commissioned Chris to build a replica of it.


But their intention was to build more than just a replica – this 1:1 Badman was to be a nod towards what used to be and what could be, all the while staying true to the original model. Starting with a clean two-door sedan, Chris installed a straight axle kit he developed in conjunction with Pacific Tool & Gauge. This kit for comes with subframe, boxing plates, front axle kit, steering and brake kit, shocks, steering box, and motor mount crossmember for both SBC and BBC applications.



Continuing the spirit of respecting the past yet improving on it, David found a blown dual-quad 392 Hemi that came out of a 1932 Ford roadster; his son Michael handled the chore of making it right again. Luke Aldrich and Wayne Kniffen helped put everything else together, then handled the painting chores with Valspar clear and Pro-Spray Plymouth Prowler Yellow.



All told, the project took two yearsto build, with the paint being applied a scant two weeks of SEMA. What’s most notable, however, can’t be seen with your eyes: the straight axle David and Chris have developed is super-stable and maneuverable. In fact, Michael Kiff (a newbie on the strip) hopped in the seat of a SBC-equipped straight-axle car and promptly ran 11.66. This Badman replica is a testament of everyone’s talents.

Here's a super cool vintage Gasser called the "4 Speed Clover"! It's a 1955 Chevrolet Nomad Bel Air with great personality! It's powered by a 383ci stroker V8 and a Muncie 4 speed manual transmission! Out back is a burly 12 bolt rear end with lowering blocks, and the front is modified stock style '55 Chevy parts. The engine has extremely low miles and it runs fantastic! It's got a Weiand ceramic coated intake manifold, ceramic coated headers into custom 3 inch dual exhaust, 4 wheel power disc brakes that work great, an Edelbrock carburetor, Mallory HEI ignition, chrome valve covers, a custom polished aluminum air cleaner cover, an A/C pump, an electric cooling fan with a custom shroud, and a serpentine belt system that keeps it all in check! Inside, it has a full custom interior with incredibly comfortable upholstery and matching door panels, a Hurst shifter with a green die shift knob, a Sun Super Tach, a Stewart Warner vintage gauge cluster, nice clean custom carpeting, a beautiful stock headliner with very nice polished trim, and it's all super super tidy! Other features include; green tinted glass and headlights, custom green metal flake paint with a white top, super nice chrome and stainless trim, and authentic vintage dragster graphics that were hand painted! It sits on 15 inch wheels with Rocket Racing wheels up front with 5.00x15 BFG Silvertown wide whites, and aluminum U.S. Wheel rear wheels with 8.20x15 Firestone Dragster wide whites! This is definitely one of a kind and a style that's hard to come by! It's solid, turns heads, and drives outstanding!

Documented, authentic, original 1955 Chevy movie car driven by singer James Taylor and Beach Boy Dennis Wilson in the iconic 1971 movie "Two-Lane Blacktop." This '55 is one of the three built by Richard Ruth for Universal Studios (two identical straight axle '55s and one stunt car) for "Two-Lane Blacktop." This particular '55 was used to film scenes inside the car, and brackets for some of the camera and recording gear used during filming are still visible on the car today. Only used in "Two-Lane Blacktop," it was sold to a studio mechanic shortly after filming was completed. The car passed through several owners before it was located in Canada in 2000. The '55 was authenticated by Richard Ruth before it was brought back to the U.S. by "Two-Lane Blacktop" historian Walt Bailey for a combination restoration and preservation project with the help of Ruth. Replacing only what was necessary while preserving as many original components as possible, the car was returned to its weathered, primer gray 1971 on-screen appearance. The car features the correct Ruth-built straight axle with coilovers, a tunnel-rammed 454, M-22 Muncie Rock Crusher 4-speed, '60s Olds posi-traction rear, a no-nonsense gasser-style black interior and still wears its custom built fiberglass front end, fiberglass doors with sliding windows and fiberglass trunk lid. The "Two-Lane Blacktop" '55 has been featured in national car magazines, numerous national car shows and was displayed at the Smithsonian Institution to inaugurate an exhibit on Route 66. In 2009, James Taylor was reunited with the car where it was featured at a concert, after which Taylor introduced and screened "Two-Lane Blacktop" for the audience. The "Two-Lane Blacktop" 1955 Chevy is street legal and comes with extensive documentation and restoration photos.
