Re: searching for a 55 chevy from the chicago area
 

The last time I seen "Shake Rattle and Run" at the Grove was probably about 15 years ago......they had a Monster Engine in the car and I'm sure that were spraying it, and the car left the line so hard it overpowered the Chassis and twisted the car so bad the Chrome strips on the quarters popped off just past the starting line.....I hear that the car is still around......anybody have some additional info......It would look good sitting in my Garage........

Do you know the where abouts of the "Shake Rattle and Run" car (Messino and Schmidt)? I was told it was confiscated by the Illinois State Police many years back and was sitting in a building on the Joliet Armory site. It is said to have my friends original 1967 L-89 Corvette engine in it and we would love to find it, and reunite the car with it's original engine.
