Very nice! Clean and elegant.

I dont know what things are in there, but here shiny black paint is horrific to keep clean, because all those leafy trees at spring and summer, mud at autumn(and spring) and roadsalt at winter.

It's a stock drivetrain with the exception of a new manifold and edlebrock 4 barrel. 272, three on the tree. Realizing that lots of you are purist's don't shoot me for listing my plans for it.



Probably, losing the continental kit. New wheels, probably black or red steelies with chrome center caps. Most certainly a Tremec 5 speed. Convert the distributor to pointsless ignition. Old-school pinstripes.



Maybes: Upgrade the brakes, a manifold change and three deuces.



Overall its a great car in really nice condition. More pictures when its in my driveway.

I dont think you will have a problem here. This site is definately not purist by any means. Its your car, fix it up to suit you. Only rule we have is keep it Y-Block!! Chuck

PS Please put your location in your tag line so we know where you are. City and/or State will do.

I must agree with Moonshadow. Absolutely beautiful looking 55. Lots on here are running what you are considering. The changes we make to our individual tast are what makes our cars special.

Keep us posted
