Re: Briggs Chevrolet
Don't know how I missed this thread earlier. The Briggs Chevelle has always been one of my favorite Super Stock cars. (No offense, Bill). The car was featured in Car Craft during it's HeyDays and the article included a Caricature of the car with the rear tires in a wad, exaggerated and elongated front tires still touching the ground and the front bumper three stories in the air. Not entirely unlike the way the car actually launched! I really need to dig through the old magazines and find that article. I hope the restoration story isn't just rumor; sure would be nice to see it brought back and lined up next to "Red" somewhere.
I remembered the car being Red with a Black top but I probably have it confused with another car. The Fathom Blue with White top also sounds familiar. Just too many years.
