Re: Calling all 55-59's

Here is mine. I only did a couple things to get it running and bring it home. Used to belong to the the brother in-law since 89. He drove it to high school for a year then 1 year after and parked it in 91. I been bugging him about buying it since I married in about 5 years ago. Finally last Christmas he told me that 3k and he will make it drive home for me. Couple of payments later we drug it out from under the 3 tarps it was under and did the following:

200.00 New tank,
37.00 New Pick up tube,
14.00 Fuel pump,
50.00 Carb kit,
137.00 Master cyl.
300.00 bucks for the tires/whls on craigslist
and I drove it home.

Since then I did the brothers 1 piece windows, Headlight sw. and burned some gas on a 100 mile round trip.

Currently its waiting in line behind the 71 (hope to be roadworthy by the Aug 9th meet). But I am collecting ideas along the way.



After the price I couldn't let him pay for the repair parts so all in all I'm out 3750.00 when I got it home. Only cancer I can find in it anywhere are the btm of the drivers door and near the btm of the drivers front fender.

I am also currently getting this 55 BBW together for my Dad we picked up at the Portland swap meet for 1600.oo no motor/trans and NO RUST anywhere!
