At first glance, this works '55 Chevy 3100 Pickup rather inconspicuous. You might think it's a simple, old-fashioned pickup in good condition. But as soon as the driver steps on the gas pedal, the classic turns out to be a monster, with one four-digit HP number makes the rear tires glow. And thanks to a video by AutotopiaLA we can take a look at the monster. The almost 30-minute video shows a lot of background information about the vehicle and its owner and also shows tire shredding actions on the road. The current owner has been driving the car for around 18 years and seems to have a lot of road racing experience.
