Here's the story of Project X, maybe one of the most #FamousRides in hot rodding

Here are some words straight from Hot Rod magazine about Project X…

“In 1965, Argus Publishing purchased an unassuming ’57 Chevy Bel Air 210 post model to use as a project car for the editors of Popular Hot Rodding magazine. Through its existence, the ’57 would serve as a test bed for multiple engine combinations, suspension setups, and drivetrain enhancements. Through four decades of ownership, the editors of PHR used the car to teach several generations of hot rodders how to build cars, while an entire aftermarket industry grew up around it. Above all, the bright yellow shoebox-named Project X-became a legend in the hot rod community, arguably the most significant car in the history of the hobby.”

In 2008, Chevy Performance used Project X as a test bed for their new 427 nostalgia crate engine, paying homage to the wedge in the ZL1 Camaro. After that, Hot Rod Garage got a hold of it and turned it back into the old school street machine it was back in the movie Hollywood Knights.
