I found my old 55 Chevy Gasser from '71!! It had a Hilborn injected 301, Glass front end, engine set back. Photo is me in 71. I am trying to buy it back, but gotta give the guy 2 weeks to think about it. It has been sittin for at least 20 years with no drivetrain. It is only 10 miles away! Wish me luck! Arnie
DAMN man!! that would be awesome if you get it back.. I hope the fact that the guy knows it was yours doesn't mysteriously make the price go up...GOOD LUCK!
WOW that would be so cool, I'd like to have my old 55 back !! as a matter of fact I would trade my coupe to get my 55 back
A buddy of mine found his old high school ride, after he made the deal and paid the guy he showed him the pic of him with the car he still carried in his wallet, and the guy told him it was a good thing he didn't show him that before the deal was done..lol keep us posted..
Man that is really cool. I sure hope the guy agrees to sell. I wish I could find my old 51 Chevy again. Good Luck Jimbo
The guy has had it for 40 years and he needs two weeks to make up his mind? don't be surprised if he tells you to come back in 2050 just so he is sure he wants to let it go. Frank
Hope you can make a deal to get it back. I know I'd jump all over the chance to get my hands on my old longroof 63 Plymouth.
I am watching this thread ... 1. One to wish you luck 2. See how many guys gonna chime in and wish they could find their first 55 ( me included!)
Good luck to ya. I found my '57 Chev wagon gasser last year. The guy I sold it to 35 years ago gave it to his nephew who is a friend of my daughter.She told me last month he got laid off at work and should need money soon...HMMMM!!
Arnie, thanks for putting up the picture of your old 55. I forgot I asked you at Jefferson to do so! You have a better memory than I do! I think its an omen that I met you and you found your 55 gasser so close to the same time. Long live the 55... good luck getting it back buddy.
