Video: Behind the wheel of AC/DC’s Brian Johnson’s Chevron B8

Chevron’s B8 racer is a purpose-built motorsports machine that weighs nearly nothing and makes a ton of power.

This particular example belongs to accomplished vintage racer and AC/DC front man Brian Johnson, and he invited Classic Motorsports' Tim Suddard to take it for a spin during the 2019 HSR Classic 24 at Daytona.

Neat car, but to be honest I would rather have heard more of the engine during the in-car video portions rather than that dreadful music...

Damn - another one I had the chance to buy - a B8 came up in the Northwest back in the 70s. 'Only' $8000...... (don't tell me what they go for now - it would only make me feel worse - last one I noticed in recent times was around 250-300K
