BlueAKSSS Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Well guys I bought a new car over the weekend its a 1955 Chevy 210 Two Door Wagon. Got it home after a long crazy 4 hour drive down to Homer, AK from Anchorage, AK on icy roads, I bought the car and towed it back on a tow dolly on the icy roads which took another 5 hours towing it back with a 2500HD with a 8.1L. It was a bit tricky in some areas but it made it back. It's Red with a white top. It has no engine or transmission, but the plan is to possibly swap in an LS-series motor and 4, 5, or 6 speed or whatever I can find. Its not bad on rust either and is super solid just some rust in the floors but that is easy for me to fix. I'm planning to leave the body as is and make it into a sweet driver, although it does need an interior and other things. Here's some pics, enjoy!
