Up for sale is your chance to own a very nice convertible project and save a lot of money. I have spent countless hours on this car over a period of about four years and have invested a lot of money in this project that is very near completion. Sadly I must at this time part with this car for personal reasons. More than 100 larger photos at http://imgur.com/a/L8Ez7 High quality fiberglass body construction by Prototype Research http://www.prototyperesearch.com/55chev_walk.htm An original rust free chassis has been cleaned, inspected and an X member added to provide the required stiffness. Engine is a fuel injected 305 V8 coupled to a four speed automatic overdrive transmission. I have spent a lot of time and even more money finding and buying the parts needed to complete this car. Included are several expensive convertible only items you need to assemble this car. I am offering this car and countless parts for only one thousand dollars more than what the empty fiberglass shell would cost you with the crating charge ($750) they add. You would then need to find a chassis, and spend many thousands more for the parts that I am including in this sale. The body has been meticulously blocked sanded and is very straight and ready for primer (included) How to import the car from Canada to the USA. I know it is an easy process for older cars as I have sold two cars to USA buyers.Two forms must be filled out exempting the car due its age from EPA & DOT regulations No taxes or duty are charged to the buyer. Please see the bottom of this page for more specific details and links to US Customs and Border protection pages on the subject. The engine, transmission and the complete wiring harness was carefully removed from a Chevrolet pickup with only 67000 miles on the odometer. The engine starts right up and runs smooth and strong like it should. I have full documentation for the truck including the VIN and original build sheets showing all options. This information and the fact that the original wiring harness was used (including the service diagnostics plug) means that any garage can plug in their scanner and service this vehicle. The wiring is not a cut up mess like many of the fuel injection conversions. All of the factory connectors remain in place. Any technician will be pleased to work on the drivetrain of this car as they can use the manual for the Chevy pickup. Parts list is at the bottom of the page… I am sure that I have more that what is listed ! Tittle / Registration documents: I have not registered the car as a convertible after swapping the original body for the fiberglass body. I do have the Ontario ownership documents (in my name) and the VIN tag for the donner 1955 car that supplied the chassis the body is resting on. Ontario does not issue vehicle tittles. The car is wet in most of the photos as I wanted to remove the dust and to show how straight the car is by giving the car a shine. Differences in color are areas that have dried. Location: The car is at my home in Belleville Ontario Canada on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Nearest major city is Syracuse NY. Importing a collector car into the USA is not an issue as I have sold a couple in past to USA buyers. Questions ?

I will do my best to be honest and try to tell you what you need to complete the car but please review the pictures and my description for what is included. If you do not see it listed or see it in the photos (http://imgur.com/a/L8Ez7 )please assume I do not have it unless you ask. To drive the car you will need brakes, exhaust system, a driveshaft & a shifter for the transmission. I do not have a windshield or door glass but do have the expensive convertible only rear quarter windows. The windshield and door glass can be purchased from any glass shop for a reasonable price as they are the same as the hardtops. No radio , wiper motor or drive parts. trunk hinges, or interior other than the front seat. Many of the trim and dash items have been only temporally installed for photos as I would be removing them to primmer and paint the car. While the entire wiring harness has been installed and the engine will start and run the final connections will need to be made at the dash switches and at the lights once the car is painted and final assembly made. All of the GM factory electrical connectors are installed and clearly marked. The front fenders and hood have not been shimmed once again because they will be removed for paint.

How to import the car from Canada to the USA. I have had a lot of buyers asking how to import this car. I know it is an easy process for cars more than 25 years old. I have sold two cars to USA buyers a 1966 Buick and a 1933 fiberglass Willys. Two forms must be filled out exempting the car due its age from EPA & DOT regulations No taxes or duty are charged to the buyer. Specific information on importing a classic car into the USA can be found on the US Customs and Border protection page link below; https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/278/~/importing-classic-or-antique-vehicles-%2F-cars-for-personal-use Key points from this page: “If the vehicle is at least 21 years old, there are no EPA compliance requirements upon importation” “A motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be lawfully imported into the U.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards “ Two forms are required to import the a vehicle more than 25 years old. 1) “The importer must file with CBP, upon entry, an EPA form 3520-1 (with a copy of title, etc. attached) and declare code "E" on that form.” 2) “The importer is also required to file a DOT form HS-7,… Such a vehicle would be entered under Box 1 “ Link to US Customs and Border protection video found below contains general instructions on how to import any car into the USA. Please keep in mind that most of the requirements to not apply to a collector car and that if you wait they will tell you this later in the video. The Key points from the video 1) Cars more than 25 years old do not need to meet EPA or DOT requirements 2) No duty is charged on Cars manufactured in the USA or Canada https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/1704/kw/duty%20on%20cars%20from%20canada
