Classic Car Overview
The Black Widow is one of the most fascinating legends in Chevrolets racing history. In June of 1957, the Automobile Manufacturers Association banned automakers from officially participating in racing. Publicly, GM and others complied - but behind the scenes, Chevrolet kept the spirit alive. Former Hudson race engineer Vince Piggins set up operations under SEDCO (Southern Engineering and Development Co.) at Nalley Chevrolet in Atlanta, turning humble Chevy 150 sedans into NASCAR terrors. Known as Black Widows, these lightweight, stripped-down cars became dominant on the track, and to this day remain a point of pride and heated debate among Chevrolet enthusiasts.
This tribute to that history takes the Black Widow concept into the modern era. Under the hood sits a supercharged 6.2L LS3 V8 - the same powerplant found in the Camaro - delivering modern muscle far beyond anything possible in 1957. Paired with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, this 57 combines raw horsepower with an engaging, driver-focused experience. This all sits atop an Art Morrison chassis, rack and pinion steering and tubular double a-arm and four-link suspension front and rear, running through a Ford 9 and American Racing Rally wheels.
Supporting the power are modern conveniences that make this car as usable as it is thrilling. Finished in the distinctive Black Widow tribute livery, this Chevrolet 150 captures the look of a NASCAR legend while bringing modern engineering to the mix. Its both a respectful nod to history and a bold reimagining of what the Black Widow could be today.
