It seems as though George Poteet’s Blowfish Bonneville Cuda racecar inspired a salty Studebaker. ARP and Alan Johnson unveiled their salt assault ’53 Studebaker post coupe for owners Paul and Betty Gilliam. Built by Johnson’s Rod Shop in Gadsen, Alabama, the slope nose Stude was run with driver Shane Phillips in the C/GCC class where it hit 228 mph, shy of the 265.618 record. Their goal is to be the first naturally aspirated door car to run 300 mph at Bonneville with the 369 cu in Chevy.

1954 "Pizza Man" Corvette. Few racing Corvettes have had as big an impact on their branch of motorsports as this 1954 roadster famously known as “The Pizza Man.” Serial number 99 in the 1954 production run of 3,640, it tore up the drag strips across the Midwest and at national events from 1962 to 1971 at the hands of owner/driver Earl Britt, proprietor of Earl’s Pizza Palace in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Along the way it earned the title of “World's Fastest Six Cylinder Corvette", setting a phenomenal nine World Records in NHRA Modified Production and, it is believed, winning more NHRA World Championship Points in three consecutive years (1967-1969) than any other car in Street Eliminator history or any other Division, including E/MP at the 1967 Indy Nationals and a huge upset win over Dick Landy and the Dodge factory team at the 1968 Winternationals at Pomona.

The key to The Pizza Man’s success is under the fiberglass hood in the form of a modified 292 CI GMC inline-6 engine fed by triple sidedraft Weber 2-barrel carburetors and driving a Positraction third member through a custom-built B&M Turbo Hydra-Matic 3-speed transmission. The combination consistently launched The Pizza Man to low 13- and then mid 12-second elapsed times, eventually taking it to an official best of 12.17 at 118 mph and an unofficial 11.97 in 1970.


Today The Pizza Man is in excellent as-raced condition, even wearing the rare Firestone Drag 500 front tires on which it last raced and the rubber marbles kicked up onto its quarter panels by its 7-inch Goodyear racing slicks. Still finished in its original Polo White paint, it is fitted with a trademark Black fiberglass hard top and the original Red interior, and wears skillfully weathered recreations of the decals, signage and Gold leaf “Pizza Man” graphics it wore throughout its record-setting career as a 9-time NHRA record holder and 3-time NHRA World Champion.

Authentic & Fully Restored 1957 Chevy 210 Hardtop "IN-BOMBER" historic NHRA Drag Car, H/Stock Class Champion & Stock Eliminator Semi Finalist at 1968 NHRA "Indy" Nationals. The only known surviving Indy winning '57 Chevy Jr. Stocker in existence. Records changed by the day, but few had the opportunity to run the NHRA Nationals circuit and fewer won their class! The car is an original 210 Hardtop (most 210's were sedans!) and was campaigned by the Patrick Brothers of Omaha Nebraska between 1966-1970. The car originally ran a Rochester Fuel Injection unit and was named "In-Bomber" as a play on words between "embalmer" and the injected engine, (notice the zombie hand squirting a syringe of embalming fluid on the doors!). The car raced at strips all over the mid west, and competed in the 1968 NHRA Winternationals, 1968 NHRA U.S. Nationals (H/Stock Class Champion & Stock Eliminator Semi Finalist), 1969 NHRA Winternationals, 1969 NHRA Springnationals, and 1969 NHRA U. S. Nationals. It also won several "King of the Hill" drag competitions along the way, and was featured in the summer 1969 issue of "1001 Custom and Rod Ideas" magazine. The Patrick Brothers ran the car as part of a three car team along with Don Stephenson's '57 210 sedan "TENSION" and Fred Anderson's Bel Air hardtop "GOOD IN-TENSION". For 1969 the car received dual quads and the top of the top of the car was painted white. This is look the car was restored to. For 1970 the car was contracted to a local Omaha driver under ownership of the Patrick Brothers, after which it was retired.



The car received a frame up restoration which was completed in time for it's unveiling at the 2010 York Drag Reunion. The car features a one-piece "California" frame, original Tension Team adjustable ladder bars, P-Case posi rear with 4:56 gears, original chrome reverse wheels, and rare NOS Mickey Thompson cheater slicks with Firestone front runners. Countless hours were spent locating and/or recreating decals for the car (notice the original 1968 Nationals "T" trophy run windshield sticker!) and hand painting the lettering exactly as it was. The engine is a thick wall 1962 283, just as it ran, which has been modified internally a bit further than the rules would have allowed for at the time, but still maintains a correct 1960's jr. stock look. The dyno showed 403 HP and climbing at 6,000 RPM, I would expect it's peak to be around 420 HP or so. Torque was 388 ft. lbs. Equipped with rare NOS 1968 Mondello Posi Flow heads, Crower solid lifter cam, JE 12.5:1 pop up pistons (11:1 Compression, runs fine on 93 pump gas), and original Stahl fenderwell headers from the "GOOD IN-TENSION" '57 Chevy. Too much to list in this engine! A real screamer with tons of vintage parts. Transmission is a Borg Warner 4spd. This car is an important piece of drag race history.
