This Tri-Five is packing heat! This gorgeous ’57 Chevy is ready to take off.
When rolling up tot he stoplight you better take notice to the Tri-Five pulled up next to you. That isn't Grandma's grocery getter... by a long shot! Robert Wilder lives up to his last name and has on heck of a wild Chevy. Plus, this Chevy gets around - Literally!
I'll let Robert give the 4-1-1 on this potent Chevy...
" Enclosed you will find photos of my supercharged alcohol and nitrous injected ultimate sleeper 1957 Chevrolet. I have owned this car as a 21-year ongoing project [they are never done]. I have put close to 90,000 miles on it doing 9 Hot Rod Power Tours, 3 Key West Power Cruises and the Hot Rod Reunion road tour to California from my home in southwest Florida. I have driven to/through 40 states, 2 Canadian providences and have raced at 28 dragstrips in U.S. and Canada. This car was a body-off rebuild/painted in my somewhat enclosed carport."
"It sports a 383 stroker dynoed at 671 HP, TCI 700R 4 trans with a 2800 stall convertor, QA coil overs, tube control arms, Wilwood brakes and Hielwig sway bars front-rear."
