The following description if from Gil
Up for sale and auction is our original 1957 Chevy Bel Air drag car Panama Red. This car was raced from 1961 to 1981. Originally, the car was raced at Lion's Drag Strip and then later was run at Famoso Raceway. This car is a true survivor with very few changes since its last race. It still wears its original paint and lettering that we only buffed out and waxed to preserve it. The Borg Warner T-10 trans, Mcleod flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate, and even the front wheels are original to the car. The car originally ran a 301 SBC, but now has a fresh 355 SBC with 10-1 compression, camel hump heads, Edelbrock tunnel ram with dual 450 Holleys, Erson solid liter cam, and Harland Sharp roller rockers. Distributor is a Mallory dual point. Exhaust consists of early Headman fenderwell headers. The engine runs and sounds great! It has an early Pontiac rear with 5.86 gears and Henry's spool and axles The rear suspension consists of the original leaf springs with ladder bars and a floater kit. The biggest change to the car since it was raced is the addition of the straight axle front suspension and front disc brake kit. My plan was to return the car to a stock a-arm front suspension and get it back to how it was when it was raced. It has an early Fiberglass Trends one piece tilt nose that is still in very good shape. The body is excellent with no rust. All of the stainless trim is in great shape. The dash holds all of it's original gauges that are in working order. The two front bucket seats are from an early Chevy Camper and the door panels are new and freshly covered in black vinyl. I have a clear title for the car but since it is still in race trim it has not been registered for the street. I have a lot of documentation on the car including photos, time slips and even copies of the last know drivers personal records that were written in a notebook following each run. These original drag cars with documented history are becoming hard to find. Here is a chance to own a great car, that is recognized wherever it goes, with a lot of history. Please feel free to contact me with any questions at 805-757-1765 or send me an email at gil.hotrodranch@yahoo.com. Visit The Hot Rod Ranch Face Book page to see video of Panama Red from the recent Ventura Nationals and see the cars first hard pass since 1981.
The car is advertised for sale locally and the I reserve the right to end the auction early if needed.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
