55 Belair, AKA Dirt Nasty

Looks like a great one to start with. Have fun time a-coming!

Congratulations

Congratulations on a great find. Looks like a real solid car. Van :tu

Do we like solid original cars around here ? O Boy
Enjoy yourself, you have a sweetie.

Great find Darren.

Looks like a solid foundation to start your project with :congrats:

very cool project, looks like a solid one to have fun with Darren. :anim_25:

Almost impossible to find them in that overall condition any more. I see it had a rear seat speaker installed at some time in its life.

Very impressive. Enjoy the refurbishment.

Very nice project Darren! O.K. Krunk, how many more do you have in this condition?

Very nice car to start with, wow.

Here are a couple of my most recent 55's, my 68 & 63.

Did you do the paint jobs on the cars? The Camaro and Nova look outstanding

Thank you.
No, I didn't but actually the nova paint is 22 years old.

That don't look like no beater. Great car, rare to see one so well preserved these days, looks way better than the one I started out with in '76.

I vote for period correctness, if not restoration, on that one, no hole in the floor for a Hurst shifter, lol. Just won't look right without a generator.

Enjoy that project and thanks for sharing it.

Congratulations on a fine automobile.

Thank you!

I'm thinking procharged 540, Jeffco planetary trans, minitubs, narrowed 9" with 12" wide double beadlocks and a 25.3 cage. Keep full factory interior & body & paint as/is.
