This s for sale in Portland on Copart.com. It's an auction site.

Someone spent a lot of money on this one. Right now the bid is at $12,500.

Right out of highschool, I worked at a shop that had a 1 owner 55/56 chevy 4 door, and his plans were to make something like this. It was in such killer shape I wanted to barf when he said thats what he wanted to do.

I agree with alot of time and money.

If you look at the distributor cap it's a GM HEI, so something by GM. Just not sure what.

All I can say is someone put hundreds of hours of work into it. Would be great for high school reunions for us old folks Smile

Slanted HEI on drivers side front and center top mount aircon... looks like a Caddy to me. Cool Only other thing I can think of is a big Buick, but the valve covers are too small.

I think I'm less annoyed by the waste of parts as I am by the poor choices and shoddy work. He has a bunch of random wires hanging down under the dash, there are a bunch of holes in the firewall, and just a bunch of little things not done nicely.

Also Vette salad shooters on a shoebox? WTF?

And no fridge in the back of a limo!>?!?! Double WTF!

Can't really go by the HEI cap anymore. Several companies make ford distributors with gm hei on top.

I have to disagree with you on that, best is a 55, second is a 56, and by far the worst is a 57 with that tacky grille and gun sights on the hood.

I own a 55 Smile

You, sir, are absolutely correct. Cool

As usual this is a case of less being more.

Then again maybe it's just my weight reduction bias...

I will agree that the '55 is the best by far. But the '56 has an ugly/boring grill that just seems like a down grade from the coolness of the '55. The '57 ain't much better, but at least they have style. '56s just look plain to me.
