1955 CHEVROLET SPORT COUPE. NO RESERVE. WE ARE SELLING OUR CAR TO PAY FOR TUITION. IT IS A VERY NICE DRIVER / LOCAL CAR SHOW TYPE CAR. YOU CAN GET IN AND DRIVE IT ANYWHERE. WE DID. MOSTLY TO LOCAL CAR GET TOGETHERS AND FOR AN ICE CREAM, ETC. I WILL TRY TO COVER EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WITHOUT GUSHING OVER IT (WHICH I HATE AS MUCH AS YOU DO). WE BOUGHT THE CAR OFF AN OLDER COUPLE WHO SHOWED IT AS A STOCK 55. I STILL HAVE THE STEEL WHEELS AND 3 OF THE ORIGINAL HUBCAPS. (I LOST ONE SOMEHOW). I ADDED AMERICAN RACING WHEELS AND NEW TIRES. THEY HAVE ABOUT 1000 MILES ON THEM. LOWERED IT WITH SOME CCP LOWERING SPRINGS TO GIVE IT A GOOD STANCE. IN A NUTSHELL THIS CAR IS A LOCAL CAR SHOW TYPE VEHICLE. ITS NOT GOING TO GET YOU AN INVITE TO PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS, BUT YOUR CAR GUY BUDDIES ARE SURE NOT GOING TO BE EMBARRASED TO BE SEEN RIDING IN IT, AND NEITHER WILL YOU. TO ME ITS THE BEST KIND OF CAR.... NICE ENOUGH TO SHOW OFF, BUT NOT SO NICE YOU ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. OK HERE WE GO..... DRIVE TRAIN : FRESH 283 350 TURBO. AS MOST ALL 283'S RUNS LIKE IT SHOULD , STARTS LIKE A NEW CAR. TRANNY SHIFTS SMOOTH AS NEW. KEY WORD....DEPENDABLE. ABOUT 2000 MILES ON THEM. INTERIOR: AS GOOD AS NEW. ITS A CIADELLA KIT BEST I CAN TELL. GOOD QUALITY. MATERIALS AND COLORS ARE TYPICAL OF THIS YEAR CAR. NO RIPS TEARS, STAINS. SEAT PADS APPEAR REPLACED AS YOU DONT FEEL THE OLD SPRINGS IN YOUR BACKSIDE WHEN YOU SIT DOWN. IT HAS ELECTRIC WIPERS ON IT WITH A STOCK LOOKING KNOB (ITS A KIT). STEREO IS AFTERMARKET BUT USES THE STOCK KNOBS ETC SO IT LOOKS PERIOD. THE DASH IT NOT CUT. GOOD SOUND. FLOORBOARDS ARE SOLID AND THE CARPET IS THE STOCK MATERIAL (EXPENSIVE) AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. UNDERSIDE : PAINTED LIKE STOCK WITH SOME VERY MINOR SURFACE RUST AS TYPICAL. OBVIOUSLY CLEANED AND PAINTED DURING RESTO. LIKE I SAID....CLEAN LIKE YOUD SEE AT A LOCAL SHOW. NOT CONCOURS PERFECT. EXHAUST IS NEWER AND IS A QUALITY SYSTEM. GREAT SOUND WITHOUT BEING OBNOXIOUS. BRAKES : ORIGINAL TYPE WITH THE DRUMS. WORK FINE (AS GOOD AS DRUMS CAN). THIS IS AN AREA IT NEEDS AN UPDATE TO FRONT DISKS. BODY / PAINT. CORAL GREY 2 TONE. VERY NICE PAINT. A FEW SMALL CHIPS IN THE NORMAL AREAS IF YOU LOOK FOR THEM CLOSELY. IT WAS WET SANDED AND DONE RIGHT AS IT HAS A SMOOTH FINISH AND SHINE. IM SURE THERE SOME FILLER BUT ALL REPAIRS I HAVE SEEN APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN DONE CORRECTLY. (WITH METAL) I.E. ROCKERS LOWER FENDER SPOTS ETC. THERE IS A LITTLE IMPERFECTION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LOWER DOOR SKIN. BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SEARCH FOR IT. CHROME AND TRIM. ALL THERE AND FOR THE MOST PART NICE QUALITY. THE REAR BUMPER HAS SOME MINOR FLAWS. AGAIN....THINK #2-DRIVER. GLASS. ALL VERY NICE. WINDSHIELD IS A REPLACMENT AND HAS MINOR DISTORTION WAY BACK IN THER LOWER CORNERS. WHICH THEY ALL DO. FELTS AND RUBBERS APPEAR ALL REPLACED DURING RESTO. OVERALL: EVERYTHING WORKS. THE LIGHTS, BLINKERS, DASH LIGHTS, DOME, STEREO. WIPERS (ELECTRIC) COOLING IS STOCK TYPE RADIATOR WITH ELECTRIC FAN. RUNS COOL. THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING. THE RIDE IS SMOOTH, QUIET AND STRAIGHT. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED (BY LAW) BY THE STATE OF MISSOURI FOR SAFETY AND MECHANICALS. ONE OF THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL STUDS NEEDS REPLACED. I WILL TRY AND GET THAT DONE BEFORE DELIVERY TO NEW OWNER. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS I WILL TRY AND ANSWER. I DID NOT DO THE RESTO MYSELF. I BELIEVE IT IS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD OR SO. IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED GARAGE. PLEASE RE READ TO SEE IF YOUR QUESTION CAN BE ANSWERED IN THE ABOVE DESCRIPTION. IF NOT....ASK AWAY. THE CAR WILL NOT LEAVE OUR GARAGE UNTIL THE FUNDS HAVE CLEARED MY BANK. PERIOD. I WILL ASSIST WITH YOUR DELIVERY CARRIER IF NEEDED (I WILL MAKE SURE IT GETS ON THE TRUCK SAFELY) OR DRIVE IT HOME. ITS SUMMER. I HAVE AN EXCELLENT RATING ON HERE. I HAVE SOLD A FEW VEHICLES ON HERE AND EVERYONE WAS THRILLED WITH THEIR PURCHASE. I INTEND TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. BID WITH CONFIDENCE, JUST MAKE SURE YOU CAN PAY FOR IT. ITS FOR SALE LOCALLY SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END ALL THE FESTIVITIES EARLY.
