it was in storage for 10 years so restoration is needed.
funnest car I've driven.
decent gas milage. it's a muscle car so don't expect much

Pros: nice heirloom, fast, fun to drive
Cons: needs complete restoration someday soon

My wagon was one of the BEST cars I have owned. She was fun to drive and even thoe the paint and body work was not the best! IT WOULD HAUL THE MAIL!! As a full metal, stock appering car goes with 3:08 Open rear diff and 350/350 under the hood and drive train. This wagon wouild do 15.00 e/t at the local drag strip. I am sorry to say that when I go the pumpkin I sold the "Drag-N-Wagon" to a man and his kids to enjoy. I found her sitting a lot and it was shame that such a great car was not doing its job. So I let her go and wished them best of luck..

Pros: It was a fun car and it was a 2 Door!
Cons: I do not own it anymore. Makes me sad

My 1st car ... what a bean !
3 miles to the gallon, but a perfect ride - like a rubber
dinghy on wheels !
Took it from Odense to Paris and back without a glitch
- best hols ever !
Sadly, it had to go due to petrol prices, but will remain
the ultimate cruiser.

Pros: Everrything - the ultimate style
Cons: More than a bit thirsty ...

My car is 100% unrestored. It is not a project car
so much as it is my work of art.
I am not trying to make it look like it did in 1956,
and I could not care less about resale value.
This is my car, not the next owner's.

Pros: Easy to get parts for, considering she's 52 years old.
Cons: Not fuel efficient.

Decent relaibility. Amazing if you consider the age of the technology. Good power but handling and braking leaves you on the edge of your bench seat. Amazing Styling defining an era.

Pros: Your cool if your in one. fast. tons of parts avail. reliability, style.
Cons: MILEAGE. Brakes, Handling. (possibilty of door dingers and fender benders means it usually is in the garage)

I bought this car when I was 18. I have been slowly restoring it since. The best styling of ANY car chevy ever built inside and out.  Lots of chrome!  Updated driveline: 406sbc, muncie M21, Auburn spool w/3.90 Richmond gears. A fast car with astounding looks.

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
