3,000 horse power 55 Chevy

This 55 chevy is a 15-year story with many engineering feats accomplished to make this car street legal and rated for safety.

This is the most powerful street registered automobile ever built.
Powered by a 1,650 cubic inch supercharged v12 packard merlin rolls royce engine that was used to power the fighter aircraft p51 mustang and runs on unleaded petrol.
This absolutley gorgeous one of a kind 1955 chevy that once belonged to ava gardner has been tranformed over a fifteen year period to pay homage to the p51 mustang and the 352nd fighter group that was stationed in bodney england during world war ii that was responsible for downing 729 enemy aircraft with only 29 loses.

The motto of the 352nd fighter group was “second to none” and because of the distinctive blue nose painted on each p-51 the fighter group became known as “the blue nose bastards of bodney.

Each pilot gave his mustang a name like “little one” “stinky 2” and “cripes-a-mighty” this 55-chevy is dedicated to the plane its pilot named “final objective” with a paint job that cost over $70,000.00.
