Found some great old pictures of my Dad's / My 55 150.

Very cool! Your dad had a Bad looking machine back in the day.

Great pix!! Love the "go fast pedal" HAHA I had forgotten about those crazy things.

By the look of the 55 and the engine back in the day your Dad used to get up and go, the pictures are priceless and to still have the car is unbelievable

I can’t wait to see the rebuild on this one!

Great photos & lots of interesting parts on both cars the C1 Corvette steering wheel on the 55 & the use of a Corvette radiator in the 64.Looks like the 64 might have got some sort of factory add on AC system at least at a glance.Looks like your dad was quite the hot rodder what a great photo record of what he did.Sure wish I'd taken that number of pictures & also that I still had the photos I did take back then.My son years later admitted having taken several of my favorite 55 photos to school & never returned.Good luck on the restorations.

Fantastic! Can’t wait to see the build on this car.
The 64 ain’t half bad either.👍🏼
And the quote of the day, “…Car Porn is Car Porn”.😜

Wow with a capital, WOW !!! A family time capsule. Keep us posted along the way. Never gets old and your dad was one cool guy!

A true 60's 55, cant wait to see it rebuilt. Are you keeping it as is ?

I'm going to try and keep it as close to "As Is" as I can. I do want to do some safety upgrades like a front Disc Conversion and possibly Tublar Swing arms and stiffen the Frame. Engine wise I'm unsure... I love the original 60's Hot Rod stuff, I have a Couple of extra Caps for the H&W Ducoil Dist. (even have his Sun Dist. Tester for setting the Dwell on it), I will put a milder Cam in it and drop the HP to about 500, reduce the compression to a level where it'll run on Pump Gas. The only thing I'm unsure about is the Carbs. I love mechanical Carbs, but eventually my Daughter will get the thing and although she is also an Aircraft Engineer she isn't a Car tinkerer. I might put a set of the Dual Holly Snipers on it. That'll be a decision for down the road.

Very cool 55, I see the rear has 6 lugnuts? is this a truck rear end( differential)?

Yes it is, I don't know what Gearing is in it or the Tranny.

I would love to see the 55 put back the way it was when your Dad raced it with no changes. Its cool factor would be of the charts.
