Crazy Story Behind Classic '57 Chevy Drag Car
Vložit

- In 1999 Scott Wagner picked up his brand new 1957 Chevy Super Gas car from Tim McAmis Race Cars. After a few days at home, Wagner decided to take the '57 to a local event for some testing and shakedown runs.
After a couple of good laps, Scott entered the car into competition and as luck would have it, he would go on to win the event. With a brand new race car and a win after it's first event, Scott could not be any happier with his dream car.
That was about to change...
In this video, Tim shows you the 24 year old race car that recently stopped in the shop while telling a wild story that involves drag racing, pizza, car theft, crackheads, a chop saw, police helicopters and old school justice.

Gotta love a story with a happy ending!
That poor trailer though... 😂
Great story. Every once in a while justice is served. Thanks for sharing.
I remember this like it was yesterday, I was at that race with my best friend who raced, we were friends with Scott and his crew. We usually went to Fun House Pizza after the races but we stayed and hung out the track that night. We were on our way home and my friends dad was driving his dully and trailer because we had been drinking pretty good that night, but we got pulled over because we were a black dully with a black inclosed trailer on 470 west, and they had 3 or 4 cops behind us and made us all get out and searched the trailer. From that point on when ever we stopped to eat or if we were racing out of town and at the hotel they would open the hood and take the fuse out that went to the fuel pump just to be safe.
Love Tim’s stories and the fact that he uses the word shitbag makes me love it even more. Keep up the awesome stories and your beautiful use of words!
That beautiful 57 Chev ticks all the right boxes! It is gorgeous. Quite a story as well , with a good ending. I have seen his son on NHRA " attention in the pits ", they are truly a car family. Thanks Tim, much appreciated.
nice car, I hate a thief.
I love when someone who tells it like it is, tells a story, Tim has to be the best at it, thank you sir!
1979 Summer Nationals, someone stole a complete funny car operation out of a motel parking lot Friday night.
Never heard if it had a good ending or not, but everyone at the race Saturday and Sunday, heard about it and the reward all day over the speakers.
I actually remember when this happened when I was a kid. It was big news around KCIR and Topeka.
That's an AMAZING story!!! I wouldn't EVER get rid of it either!!!
Survived the chop shop, helluva story
Fkn love this channel
I can’t believe how clean that thing is.
This is a great story. I'm glad you told us. Some people have to learn the hard ways what FAFO is.
Not everybody is that lucky ,I'm glad the Wagners got their beautiful 57 Belair back in one piece ,it's a great looking build Tim !!!!
Hey you could be a CZcams king! Keep making videos, young men need to hear you. Thanks for putting stuff out.
What a car and what a story Wow !!!
Love seeing that they took all the contingency decals off the car, that money is tough to track down. Might as well just enjoy your beautiful ride.
I remember the first time i met Willy and Scott was at their dealership me and my dad was checking out a pro stock beretta, great bunch of guys.
Beautiful 57...,great craftsmanship by all involved!
You are my hero sir, hope to shake your hand one day!

Beautiful car
Cool car and cool story. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome story telling - "so the house was full of crackhead shitbags".
I laughed my ass off.
Cool is an understatement 😍
Very nice 57 Tim, one thing to remember about scam bag thieves, if there wasn’t a market for stolen shit these assholes wouldn’t be stealing it!
I appreciate the way you talk about people who steal race cars. I feel the same
I know his shop and saw it just a couple weeks ago at the NHRA race in Topeka the old car was a Vette
Tim you are a very special person there is a lot of people in this country that think like you do. If I came out and seen my shit gone I would had a cardiac arrest. You know damn good well they were people in the parking lot that seen this going down if these people do that in Texas I pity the fool.
This car is a reflection on the man's soul it cannot be any better.
Thanks Tim, great video 😎👍👍
