OT: 55 chevy 2 door
 

Sorry guys I would have posted this in the 55-59 section but it doesnt get hits enough. Anyway I went and looked at a 55 chevy 2 door. It has new a-arms and coils and a rear out of an 79 trans am w/ 4.56 full spool. All the panels are there and very little if any rust. There is no interior or motor/trans. It is in primer but it looks like it has been on there a while and ther isnt any trim on the side I figured I would just fill those in anyway. The guy is asking $3500 but I asked if he was firm and he asked what I had so I am thinking he would take $2800. Is it a good buy or should I find something else to put my big block in? Thanks sorry again about posting in the wrong section.

The bottom line is, It's really up to you, BUT, You just can't go wrong with a 55... Hardtop or Post, Sounds like a great start.

IF YOU DONT WANT IT PASS THAT LIL OLE PHONE NUMBER ON TO ME WOULD YA ? hehehe ,, id grab it in a heartbeat but im a freak over shoebox chevys !!! you could go the resto route but it sounds like to me you are over half way to a two lane blacktop 55 !!!!!!!!! my dream car is a primer black 55 2 door post , tubbed narrowed , with a straight axle , with a bigblock and a 8-71 peeking from under the hood , no paint just bada$$ 55 !!!!!!! buy it buy it buy it ,,, its a 55 2 door , its not like the price is going to drop on it , set it in the barn and double youre money next year , those are some of the best investments out there

I'm actually leaving for the army in 5 months for 3 years so it might set for that long. I would rather have a posi so I could drive it a little on the street. I also love flat black primer, with some von dutch style pin striping whitewalls on red steelies. Man I really want it, I need to talk to the bank about a loan...

like i said man , if you dont want it pass that number along to me in a pm hahaha , dont post it on here these blood thirsty animals will jump on it before i can HA HA HA , just teasin fellas

My dad has a 55 chevy 2 door hardtop for sale. It is very rough. I would say that 3800 is a good price for that one.

buy it, store it at your parents house under a GOOD car cover (as opposed to a cheapie). Once you get back from the Army, you will have tons of cash to dump into it. Just don't get involved with a female, or you'll lose the cash! hehehe


Honestly, you will probably beat yourself with your cover later for not buying it now........


:banghead:

well the 55 sold but the REALLY good news is I found a 72 Chevelle Malibu 2 door for $1500. It has a little rust on the rear quarters and other than that it is straight as an arrow. It has a new goodmark fender and an SS steering colum because it has a B&M floor shifter. The car is in really good shape I couln't believe he only wanted $1500 I am so excited. There isn't a motor or trans but that is a good thing. I can't wait I will be buying it this weekend hopefully, waiting on a paycheck in the mail.

Check the trunk floor and interior floor very close on the Chevelle they are prone to rust.

Count me in, been looking for one about two years...
