The 150 went to a new home last year, the Bel Air Coupe left last week but the 1st series will stay and go to the kids. Built it for their Mom but cancer claimed her before it was finished.

 

That's Cool!

 

Nice truck. Sorry for your loss...

Solo Speed Shop Gasser!
This old 55 was there the last day lions shut down & ran down the track for its last time! Only 2 blocks from the track where it sat til 2001 when I bought it & brought it back to life! Blairs built it in 68!Tks! Bill

[QWE !! so you trade for a wife ??UOTE=Hot Rod 47;9280717]I had a 55 Bel Air hard top in high school, mid 80's. I would give up both my current cars to get it back. I loved that car. I lost all the paperwork on it so I can't trace the vin. I have looked long and hard, last seen in the Boston area. Gone but not forgotten......


I will post pictures tonight from my home computer.


Here we go....

First up me heading off to the senior prom, 1987.


Here is a shot of it a few years after we sold it. We met up with the current owner to see what he had done.





And this wagon I had just a couple years ago. Another one that got away. This was my wifes. Hated to sell it, and get reminded frequently. I know where it is. And have claimed first dibs if he ever decides to sell.




I miss them both.

Again you traded both for a WIFE!! the things we do for ???!!

 

That orange and black color combination looks great, never seen it done like that before.

 

Thanks; I had to fight my painter to do it like that, he thought it would not look good. then when it was over he loved it

 

It's 468 with a roller intern bal , 9", mini tub, ac, turbo 400 shift kit, 2600 convert fun fun fun & run run

 

I just bought this '55... man, I am stoked to have another one!

^^^Looks like someone got a little crazy with the spray bombs^^^
But like any 55 it has potential, The first thing I would do is try to get rid of the spray bomb paint then go from there.

 

coool!

 

What are you talking about trading both for a wife??? Not following your post?
