I had some beaters in highscool and in college!! the pics do not do this car justice, it has had 5 or 6 magazine shoots and I think two covers. The quality of work is amazing. It has won many big time shows (ie-best restored gm SEMA 05) My dad and I are working on a 55 Hardtop that is going to be nuts-LS7 w/twin Rotex blowers!!, air ride paddle shifters, it will be a seriois pro touring ride. I will post some pics when we get started on paint. Thanks for all the compliments guy's.

I saw this on Ebay good buy...... My dad and I have a 55 chevy wagon "handyman special". We currently have a brand new Chevy 350 and 4 speed Hurst on the floor. I love it and the looks of it. It is still in the works but my dad has had it for years and now that I am older it has become and project ride for the both of us. Great looking car again and I love the interior especially the rear seats how they are molded like that. Have fun driving her....

Sweet ride, I prefer the more classic looking interiors but its sweet non the less. I'm also jealous but not of the car but the four car garage. Wish I had one of those.
