Hi everyone. I think I might have found a car to put my 265 engine in. I don't know how to transfer the link, but the car is listed in Hemmings ad #2322429.
It's a '55 vert and the asking price is $55,000.00. I've been in contact with the owner both by email, text messages and telephone. The biggest fault I can see with the car, is paint. He admittedly said it looks good from a distance, but is not show quality. Some of the white is flaking/peeling and the red on the hood needs attention. It's about a 20 year old restoration. The wide whites are also about 20 years old and should be replaced. Other then that, the way he describes the car in the narrative is the way it appears to be, seen through pics.
I hired a professional inspection company to examine this car. From what I was sent, the inspection is going to be done today, Saturday, Oct. 19th. A written review/report/pics, won't be available until next week. Depending what the report states, will determine whether or not I travel to Liverpool, NY, about 6 hrs. from me, to look at the car myself. If you want, take a look at the car and tell me your thoughts. Time is getting short to make a decision. Thank you, Carmine.
