Re: Would you buy this 55?

That 'ol girl cleaned up pretty good!

It's got some cool patina to it. I would update the chassis and drivetrain, fix the floors, put some torq-thrusts or halibrands on it, and drive like it is for awhile.

I love the patina on it too, looks pretty cool, but I may still down the road repair the rust and repaint it.
But for now exactly as you said Torq Thrusts + SBC/or LS1 + 4/5 Speed Transmission and drive it as is with new front disc brakes and drop spindles to level out the front with the rear. Should be awesome!

Re: Would you buy this 55?

In my old autos car paper that I just received there is a 210 2 dr wagon with no drive line for $6500 right now. I think you did ok on that purchase.
I love the front end with the accsessory bumperettes.
