a 1955 chevy for about 25 years or so. Ever since my uncle bought one about my senior year in high school.
That's sort of a weird story as it turns out, the car my uncle bought was built by my father in law 3 states
away. I took girls to prom in that car 3 years before I met my wife, and when I met her dad, I was sort of
confused to see a picture of my uncles car hanging on his wall......
Long story short, my uncle sold the car in 1989, my father in law passed away in 2002 and I tracked the
car down shortly after......and called the current owner twice a year to try and buy it. I would have borrowed
the money if I had too.
He wouldn't sell, no way, no how....ever......I can respect that, I just wish he would actually drive it some,
but hey, it's his.......
After a little soul searching, I decided that my 55 Buick just wouldn't do, so a little wheeling and dealing and
viola (wahlaaaa)........my new project car.
Don't laugh, it's really solid under all the ugly, and it came with a 327 th350 drivetrain......
I pretty much spent every dime I had to get it bought, and get it running, but when I save up a little,
it'll get some better wheels and a new exhaust.
