This Guy’s Garage – Gary Kollofski

It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, it may be that this photo could be worth an easy 10,000 words because it might take more to detail all that’s been done and will be done to Gary Kollofski’s latest 1957 Chevy adventure. Let’s start with the game-changer. It’s difficult to see the engine—but the four Holley carburetors are feeding a pair of BMW V12 engines mated side-by-side. Think of this as a W24. Of course, that also means there are 24 separate exhaust pipes, which is a Herculean packaging effort all by itself. And that’s just one system in this amazing car. The front suspension utilizes coilover shocks actuated by rocker arms that are bolted transversely across the front of the chassis. The complete custom fabricated frame uses the stock wheelbase, but the wheels have been moved forward an equal distance to create room for the engine(s). And we haven’t even talked about the adapter necessary to combine two crank flanges into one.
