'55 Pontiacs are nice! They don't take much to make them look custom. Here is a pic of a Pontiac that was for sale... wish I could have afforded it and had the time to make it into a mild custom...
since mid last year.. they changed the p plate laws to no v8, turbo or supercharged cars Nice looking poncho man and i would have to agree with you about there not being many! I have only seen 1 55 poncho in melbourne and that was a 2 door Post. if you ever see me around say hello
got the poncho home this week, i love it! it is exactly what i wanted, big thanks to John ( bigdaddy )
I have the stock 287 in my '55 Chieftain Catalina. You cannot just bolt in anything except the original Hydramatic onto that block - from everything I have read. I am having a 200 4R rebuilt and have ordered an adapter from Wilcap to bolt this up. Not cheap, but the motor has a fresh rebuild on it and I wanted to keep it fairly original.
