i am a former drag racer and chevy fanatic from southern california, i raced in southern cal in the old days 63-72, lion's drag strip was my usual weekend location and the scene of much of my success, also won trophies and brackets at irwindale, orange county international, fontana, ramona, carlsbad, san fernando etc. was proud owner of many '55-'57 chevy's, a few impalas, etc. a few pontiacs. i am now getting ready to retire from a 45 year aerospace career and want to have myself another toy, probably a '55-'57. though i see the prices are more than i paid for tall 30 of the '55-'57s i previously owned. oh i understand, they are rare and in demand. looking for a good value on something substantially clean and together in good running and with minor work to be done.
