    Can someone do a little Photoshop? I would like to see it dropped
    2-1/2 '' front and back and also slammed. maybe in an avacado green and cream top or white. or whatever

    My first car was a 59 Biscayne, 4 door. Once photobucket is back up I will post a pic of it. It was sort of an aqua blue/green with white pearl roof and trunk. I miss that car.

    To nice of an original car to be altered, leave stock of sell to someone that will protect the originalty on the car.

    Just my thoughts...

    I like all types of cars, there are on only so many originals left, why SCREW the up...

    have a great day, no offence my by my comments, just my opinion....

    Rusty pipes, no offense taken, thats exactly the reason why i havent done any thing to it yet.. But this car has alot of imperfections you cant see in the pics. I just drive it and love it .and it is for sale, for the right price.

    rusty, the price I am asking is $6700.
    The car could use more work though. I've done somethings to it.
    When I got it I replaced all the brake componets in the drums .
    so it still has drums all the way around. Stops pretty good now. I had to replace 3 windows. both side vents and the pass front.
    The floor board has a few dime sized holes in it. the previous owner tried to patch but not that great of a job was done, but it is solid.
    The original A/c has been removed , but still have all the brackets and compressor...left the inside controls and hoses. the generator has been removed in favor for an altenator, i know, and I still Have it too.
    Put a newer powersterring pump on it also. the body and paint could use some work,quite a few dings and scratches was repainted by the original owner, not the best, looks good from a distance.With all that being said and your still interested ill send more pics if you like..still has the 283/cast powerglide.. thanks Greg. make an offer

    Thanks for bringing this back up, I was trying to keep this out of my
    head, for the reason being that I got hail damage 2 weeks ago.
    Im pissed ,no insurance. The only reason it was out that day is because i have another project going on in the garage , left it out and went to work. Came home and It got tore up, another set back. I guess this kind of shit happens when you least expect it. but this is texas weather and thats expected. I guess the hail is going to add a little caracter to the car.:mad:

    Sorry bout your car man. I saw some cool paintless dent repair videos on you tube. I don't know if it'll work on the thick steel of an older car though. They were using CO2 and a heat gun.
