1955 CHEVROLET 210 4 DOOR WITH A 265 V8 AND A 3 SPPED ON THE COLUMN MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR IS AN ORIGINAL 2 OWNER CAR WHICH SPENT ALL ITS LIFE IN NEW MEXICO. FIRST OWNER DROVE IT 49820 MILES AND IN 2003 SOLD IT TO THE 2ND OWNER WHICH PUT 5291 MILES ON IT UP UNTIL 2005 WHEN HE PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE AND LEFT IT. THIS CAR WAS SITTING UNDER A COLLAPSED GARAGE AND BOUGHT BY ME FROM THE 2ND OWNER. HE SAID IT HAD NOT RUN SINCE 2005. I CHANGED THE PLUGS, WIRES, AND CLEANED THE CARB AND SHE STARTED RIGHT UP. OIL WAS STILL CLEAN AND THE ANTI FREEZE WAS NICE AND GREEN. IT HAS A HUGE HOLE IN THE EXHAUST BEFORE IT GETS TO THE MUFFLER SO IT IS KINDA LOAD BUT IDLES NICE. IT SHIFTS INTO GEAR AND GOES BUT IT HAS ZERO BRAKES. THE METAL LINES ALL APPEAR GOOD BUT WHEN I KEPT PUTTING IN BRAKE FLUID I NOTICED LEAKS IN BOTH THE FRONT HOSES TO THE DRUM BRAKES. I ORDERED A PAIR AND WILL INCLUDE THEM WITH THE SALE. EMERGENCY BRAKE WORKS AND THATS HOW I STOP IT FOR NOW. EXCELLENT OLD SCHOOL MOHAWK 70 SERIES TIRES UP FRONT AND 60 SERIES IN THE BACK. THEY ARE MOUNTED ON 14X7 OLD ALUMINUM SLOTS. IN THE TRUNK WERE WHAT I AM GUESSING AS THE ORIGINAL 4 STEEL WHEELS WITH CHEVY POVERTY CAPS. WHEELS ARE THE SAME COLOR AS THE CAR.

MISSING 1 TRIM REAR QTR SPEAR BUT THE OTHER ONE IS INCLUDED. GLASS IS ALL THERE EXCEPT THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR BUT I WILL TRY AND LOCATE ONE AND IT WILL BE INCLUDED IF I FIND IT. ROOF IS CLEAN, FENDERS ARE CLEAN, DOORS ARE ALL CLEAN, QUARTERS ARE NICE BUT HAVE A SKIM OF MUD IN THEM FROM YEARS AGO. THEY HELD UP NICE. PAINT IS FADED AND PEELING IN A FEW PLACES BUT THERE IS CLEAN METAL THERE NOT HOLES. TRUNK IS CLEAN BUT THE 2ND OWNER FOR SOME REASON WELDED A PIECE OF METAL ACROSS THE SHOCK TOWERS. THE FLOORS NEED WORK. I AM NO WELDER BUT THESE 55-57'S LOOK LIKE THEY ARE PRETTY FLAT FLOORS SO SHOULD BE A SOMEWHAT EASY FIX. THE INSIDE SEATS DEFINATELY LOOK OLD AND NEED COVERS AND SOME PADDING. DOOR PANELS ARE ALL THERE BUT LOOK OLD AS WELL. DASH IS NICE AND CLEAN AND STEERING WHEEL IS MISSING THE HORN. FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS A COUPLE CRACKS BUT DOESNT LEAK. FRONT SHOCKS AND SPRINGS ARE GOOD. REAREND IS FINE WITH THE LEAF SPRINGS BUT 1 REAR SHOCK IS BROKEN FROM SITTING TOO LONG. FRONT GRILLE IS VERY NICE AND ALL THE CHROME INCLUDING THE HOOD ORNAMENT IS VERY VERY NICE. HEADLIGHTS AND FRONT TURN SIGNALS WORK AND HAVE NO CRACKS, CHIPS OR DAMAGE. REAR LIGHTS HAVE A FEW CRACKS BUT CHROME IS NICE. I DROPPED THE FUEL TANK AND EMPTIED THE STALE GAS AND IT LOOKS NEW SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT ONE TIME. BUMPERS ARE THERE AND SHINE NICE BUT HAVE A FEW EXPECTED DINGS. HOOD, TRUNK AND DOORS ALL OPEN AND CLOSE NICE. THE TRUNK OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO OPEN WITH A SCREW DRIVER BECAUSE THE LOCK IS MISSING.

THIS IS A REALLY NICE FIND AND IF SOMEONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT FLOORS....THIS IS AN EASY FIX.

I HAVE TOO MANY PROJECTS AHEAD OF THIS ONE AND I REALLY THOUGHT I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THIS IN MY GARAGE AND START STRIPPING IT DOWN FOR RESTORATION BEFORE WINTER HITS BUT IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT. THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEONE WOULD HAVE AN EMPTY GARAGE AND IN NEED OF AN AWESOME 55 CHEVY RUNNING PROJECT.

I WOULD DEFINATELY NOT SUGGEST YOU DRIVE THIS HOME UNLESS YOU ARE MY NEIGHBOR. I CAN ASSIST WITH PICKUP AND HELP IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE. IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE PICKED UP IMMEDIATELY BUT I WOULD EXPECT TO GET FULL PAYMENT WITHIN 5-7 DAYS. I HAVE THE ROOM OUTSIDE AND I AM COMPLETELY FENCED IN FOR PRIVACY AND SECURITY.

PLEASE ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU LIKE AND OFFERS ARE ALWAYS ENCOURAGED. I DO ANSWER ALL EMAILS. 

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND I DEFINATELY APPRECIATE YOUR BIDS.
