[wildman]

1955 Chevy 2dr wagon, has 390hp 427 big block Chevy big block v8 that I was told came out of a 1966 corvette also has a borg warner super T10 4spd, really clean straight body! Front floors have some minor holes but nothing real big, this car was in the walla walla valley (Eastern Washington Dry dessert climate) for the last 45 years with the same owner, has electric fuel pump, traction bars and what looks to be like a 1950s pontiac rear end, power steering snd power brakes!, its a complete car with front bumber, but it missing the front seat. Lots of cool vintage performance parts. Also has some extra misc parts that go along with it. Very nice clean project to start with and it has a clear Washington title. $10,000 or open to good cash offers! If interested call or text 509-460-3592

Nice car, ya gotta love western cars, starting with something that rust free would be a pleasure compared to a rust bucket....

Ya, what a sleeper !  Way cool...  Those 55-57 split front seats are tough to come by, or maybe they are being repo'd now.

Put the stock style seat back in it.  Put a TH 400 behind that engine, adapting it to shift off the original column shift and leave the paint just as it is with stock looking rims and baby moon hub caps.  That would be a serious sleeper. Even when you looked inside.

Certainly a car with a good basic foundation to work with.

If you provide the numbers, we can verify (hopefully) what the engine actually may be, if you have an interest in that sort of info.

Yes, numbers tell the story. The old saying goes:  Believe none of what you here and half of what you see.

Half way there ..... CE = chevy engine. 9 =1969. 

Behind the drivers side valve cover, closest to firewall, where engine block bolts to bell housing, there is a casting number.

You can see this casting number from the top side, looking at the location described.

Your phrase in capital letters should be on the window of every classic car for sale.  :-)

Good luck, it'll make someone a "fun car" to own.
