This car ran ONE SEASON ONLY. 52 Years Later, it's running the same E.T.s! Larry Nelson drove this 1955 Chevrolet 150 Utility Sedan to the NHRA Summernationals Super Stock Eliminator victory in 1972, and racked up many other wins during the 1972 season. He also set the Super Stock "T" record with his outstanding 265ci small block Chevy and three speed manual transmission. He only ran the car for one season, moving his drive train over into a two-door station wagon, putting him into SS/U. He tried to buy his original '55 back several times, but never had any luck with the Smith Bros. One day, it popped up for sale and he was able to get his old car back nearly 50 years after he sold it. He went to work to rebuild the car to its winning ways. He put together a KILLER Stock Eliminator 265ci package and WON the first big race he entered in 2024. The coolest part is that he won at the same track he won at 52 years previously in this awesome car. Larry Nelson not only built successful race cars, but also had a successful career at JEGS for 50 years. Now, he has retired, and plans to beat on the ol' 55 even more in 2025. #trifive #chevrolet #dragracing
