Oh no another straight axle 55 chevy

Good find Butch! I'd say you have all the luck but I know how much you're out there diggin' for them. Very cool!

 

Hey Matt it belongs to John we been playing with it it's has been setting along time trying to find some History on it......

 

I'll bet somebody will know something about it. The power of the HAMB is huge! Sure looks cool and I'll bet you and John can't wait to throw some magic at it. Probably be a show stopper.

 

I think its awsome that your leaving it alone. very nice car

 

Very nice 55!!!

 

Damned kids. Neat car.

 

Atta boy Butch.......might as well shake out the weak links early....lol......I bet you boys had some big grins on your faces when you were out thrashing on the old 55.

 

Hey Mark if it has any more were going to find'em..lol

 

A buddy of mine just bought this one over the weekend, been off the road since 81 I think.

 

Wow they look a lot alike that one looks like it is better shape.very cool look'n 55.

 

I know, right ?
I haven't went over and checked it out yet, but it was supposed to be an early 70's build with straight axle. It does sit street freakish, got a 327 that smokes and not sure of the trans or rear. He sent me a few cell phone pictures inquiring what it may be worth or what should he offer. This one came out of Lockport, NY, about 30 minutes outside Buffalo.
They are still out there hiding !

 

Right on swade.......lots of treasure out there still....lol......great to see them being found and returned to duty.

 

its done we are going to leave alone hears a few more shots think we are going take it to Dewey StrayKats next weekend.....THANKS for all the comments

 

Very cool! I would be tempted to put a little bigger black wall out tires on the back
and/or maybe lower the back just a shade to fill up that cut out void just a bit...........or maybe not???
I do like it!

 

Yes sir thats a must. maybe some of those hurst or radirs slicks

 

X2
But I wouldn't change much else! I love it! Just spend the time working on getting everything running and driving well, working the bugs out, then have some fun! What a great find.

Good luck, I'll check back. Mike

 

Thanks Mike

 

Very Cool man. Love it!

 

well its all done had it letterd up

 

Looks good. Who done it?

 

Hey Matt Nadine did it...

 

Butch, car looks great, lettering is really neat, you and John did good.

 

Another straight axle 55 Chevy? Personally, I can't get enough of em. Very nice!

 

Very very nice

 

That's what I thought. She does good work and has for a long time. The car is bitchin'! I hope to see it in real life soon.

 

I saw John and Chris tonight at the local Friday night car show. The 55 had people like this around it all night! She turned out cool! John tell's me they're planning on taking it to the HAMB drags if possible.
