If you like classic cars we do restoration I can show you a few we have done. Im at work now but i have a few of a 57 we did on me I think.

[Laser03pro]

Your friends 55 is sweet did he do it himself? Well heres one pic most all the cars we do unless the customer doesnt want it are frame off rotisary jobs. This 57 has a ram jet 350 crate motor.

[D-rock240]

I think it looks cool but if I could afford that as a side car I would rather go for a 70 chevelle or 69 judge.

Btw his brother has this 57:

No, he bought it like that. He says it's bad enough cleaning all the chrome in the engine bay and underneath before every show.

That 57 is pristine!

[sandspeed]

wow those cars a so clean top to bottom! nice pics 240

[Laser03pro]

My fav car we done so far is prob a 70 GTO or a 70 camaro still waiting on a 69 camaro to come in. We mostly do 55,56,57 chevys tho.

Nice rides.

Its the same just some are split bumpers this one was not originally a split bumper. I kinda like the full bumper ones better myself altho the split bumper rarity is sweet.

Nice. Imagine this with white stripes and a white interior (and an RS front clip) and this was my '69. I've got a few pics (before digi-cams) - I'll have to scan them.

Why dont you have the car anymore??

[D-rock240]

Beeeuuutiful. (There's my front clip :))

That front clip looks much better IMO, you have good taste.

[Laser03pro]

The RS/Z28 is my fav one also I like the light covers. That guy has a ton of money into the yellow one those fiske wheels r so expensive too.

[Bala]

Why dont you have the car anymore??
Sold it to go back to school. It's all good - everyony should have a '69 Camaro or early Stang at least once in there life. I have never in my life got more pu$$y from a car before or after. Next up is the before mentioned '57 - All black, air-bagged, 20's and a TT Ram 502. I've got one more year untill I finish school (2nd career, I fart dust :D) A hybrid Protege will be my daily ....

[65racecoupe]

I sold this....

Not pro touring, but Trans Am style...

before i die ill own and build a badass olds 442. that car is boner-rific

[D-rock240]

I haven't owned anything older than a 1990 yet, so I will probably get the classic later. Or if I stumble upon a divorce sale. One guy at the show was talking about a guy that sold a 67 fastback 427 for 4,500 because he didn't want the x to get anything.

Nice im trying to finish my 90 camaro it was kind of put on the back burner for awhile the shop is full of customer cars and now I been spending alot on the protege. I will get started back on it soon tho its about ready to go on the rotisary just have to get my cage installed first tho. I have a 383 stoker roller motor for it I want to sell it now tho cause I want to stroke a Ls1 and procharge it with a 6-speed. :)

Ahhhh ... good to know I am not the only one who's sickness knows no boundries. My "350" was actually a 400 crank 383 (with a 100 shot activated by the dimmer switch) all lines were hidden under the Edelbrock "RPM" mani.

Very sweet! Yeh I just had a thing for the lsX motors since they came out and I have to have one now lol.

:) Good example. The best way to buy a classic is to buy from a knucklehead like me. Don't bother spending $50+K building up a beater. Find a nice $30K ride that someone dropped $60K in - and then make it your own.

Nope. It wasn't original, just a restomod.

[Laser03pro]

Me and my dad are in a 56,56,57 chevy car club there is a guy with 2 really rare cars ill have to snap some pictures his place is amazing also looks like a 50's diner and the garage is decked out in 50's stuff also. 1 of the cars is a 57 chevy el moraco convertable the back almost looks like a caddy its 1 of 3 left in existance maybe ever more rare now.The other is a 57 chevy black widow race car I forget the driver name ill have to look up some more on it its not a original one but the restoration was done with exact detail to the original car. His place was on the cover of chevy hi performance before im pretty sure.

my dad used to have a ...57 chevy bel air i think. all done up and stuff.

i wanted to buy him a 56 w/ a DECENT exterior and have someone/work w/ him/them to restore it..

i know this is a vague question, but what kinda money can you expect to pay for something like this?

big crate motor/trans, leather interior, nice wheels, good paint job.?

[Laser03pro]

About 60k atleast for a really nice restored one.

[Hughes412]

Well he did pretty good except! He didn't put the engine in right and the eco chambers have to go.
http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=79641
Me and a buddy of mine built is 55 in 7 days. He wrecked his 69 chevell on his way home (Army) and was on leave for 10 days. We had to redo ALL of it. New suspention, rearend, wiring, interrior, motor, trans (out of the 69).
We got it up and going in 7 days. He ended up wrecking it 1mile from where he wrecked the 69 LOL. It wasn't that bad though. He still has it.

If you're trying to by a 57 chevy that is runnig and in even less then ok shape your looking at 15k+! They go on up to 60+k.

56. and i've seen decent running for 2-5 k. however they've got a lot of rust.

[D-rock240]

My friend was offered 40k at the last show for his ( the 55 at the beginning of this thread) and he just laughed it off. The 55-57 in particular are very popular collectables.

Wow, that does look different. I will show these to my friend with the 55. I would definitely be interested in seeing the pics you have of his car when you find them.

[D-rock240]

Myself I like everything under the hood stock or a small cowl like a nice TT setup or a procharger.
