Have you ever looked back and wondered what happened to your first car or maybe even a popular car that use to cruise your hometown? I know I have for several including my very first car, often wondering what it would be like if I had kept it. It just so happens that these types of things happen every day and sometimes it may be one of your favorite race cars that is being searched for.  There happens to be a certain 1957 Chevrolet that is of some interest to the one and only Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins.

Back in the 1960’s Dan Glover who was a hot rodder in his mid 20’s started to create something just a bit different with his 1957 Chevy. It looked as if it were specifically built to see duty on the dragstrip but the street is where this monster was meant to prowl. Glover had placed a 331 cubic inch small block Chevrolet in a mid engine configuration that found itself right where the original dashboard had sat. Everything in the driver’s compartment had been shifted back to accommodate the engine placement. Just imagine what that sounded like having a 6-71 blower sitting inside the drivers compartment with a Hilborn Injection setup on it.

The big question is have you seen this car around? When Glover originally sold this car it was sent to Wisconsin and from there made its way back toward the mid west in the Illinois area. It has changed hands several times since then and is believed to be red in color with the engine back in its original location. Its last sale has been noted to be at a government auction and since then it has not been seen. We would love to help find this car and see it restored back to the way that Dan Glover had envisioned it back in its day.
