So, a trip to Texas, and a new winter project.

[yamaha]

Not many know that I recently went to Texas to pick up my new winter project. The Tiburon is still fun, and is going no where, but I needed the V8 power. I picked up a 1955 Chevrolet Belair two door roller for $3,000. The car has no engine or transmission, but is rust free and has all of it's original stainless steel trim, which is rare for these cars. Pictures to come as I just got home.

i think i smell a horsepower beast in the future!

My family owns a 55 belair with just a 350 in it and its great fun. We also have a 67 camaro with a 350 built to a 383 and that thing runs low 12s all day on street tires.

Damn you!!!!!! lol that is a steal for that year car.A buddy of mine has a yellow 55 with a 454 and th350.The car is capable of low 12's and is a total sleeper.You will have tons of fun wrenching on a classic car.Sooo much room to work with

Car Craft and Chevy High Performance magazines will be your new best friends

Nobody really knew, I flew down and trailored the car back with my dad.

[OPZ]

So you should just sell me the tibby then. Haha...I want a second car to play around with, but im looking for an old police crown vic.

[Silentwolf]

Heh, My Dad's family has a 2000 Crown Vic detectives car. I want them to keep it so as to have fun with it. But i think they may be wanting to sell it. Not totally sure tho.

[OPZ]

Unless its within 50 miles of me, its not happening. That and I need to find a suitcase of cash too...

[Cypher]

well, i knew he was down in texas :tongue:

Sorry, but that doesn't top a '55 BelAir. But if your family decides to sell it, I want first dibs. I've always wanted to make a Crown Vic look like the car from Taxi, Vortech inside too.


Yamaha, all I can say is WOW!!! That is like the best price I've ever heard of. Just the bodies can go for almost $10,000. And the build up, do you plan to do the build with your father. A project like that, the two of you should definitely work on it. Just don't spend too much money, as you do have the Hyundai to continue working on (maybe?).

[SuperGLS]

Sean, you are cool.

[evan938]

well, make sure once the car is done, you post up the dyno sheets

maybe you could throw those tib 18psi dyno sheets you called me about like a month ago in there so we can see em too :rolleyes:

[yamaha]

*****, I have my dyno sheets right here, and no, I'm not going to post them, just yet until I get one thing fixed and back on the dyno.

Damn man, you came to TX and didn't call??? J/K. I am glad that my state is good for old Chevrolets. Great find, and I'll give you another day before I post the smilies. :)
