Description

This 1955 Chevy started out as a 4 door station wagon. At some point in the 60s or 70s it was shortened to remove the rear two doors. The car was gone over in 2012-2013 with many new parts. The car is not perfect and not a 'show' car by any means. It is more of a running / driving project hot rod / rat rod. The 383 engine runs strong without any issues (but does leak oil, I believe to be from back of intake manifold).
The car has a current PA state inspection sticker. The windshield wiper system and heater box / blower fan assembly are currently not installed, however they will go with the car (would need to run wires for these systems to work). Parking brake is not hooked up. I also have misc trim that is not installed but goes with the car.
For questions or to see the car, Please call Will at 717-632-7833 (No Texts as this is a landline). Emails may be delayed. Prefer in-person deal, however will ship as long as you arrange shipping. I can drive it somewhere to drop off if needed. Sold AS-IS with no expressed warranty.
