1955 Chevrolet Apache Stepside V8 Auto

VIN M255OO19000

Here we have an excellent bodied 55 Chev that rarely becomes available in such clean condition -becoming very hard to source -this one came from a friend up near San Jose -it was his mates truck.Chev has 4 wheel disc brakes  -i cannot find any rust in this truck -floors and rails are perfect -see interior shots -will need a new bed  but a nice Tasmanian oak would do the job. Truck has the old style Klaxon horn ,sounds great. Does have ford hubcaps but they can be replaced with Chev

1955 Ford Thunderbird 292 V8 auto

VIN P5FH152677

Here is another example of an early T Bird for restoration - this type of T Bird is getting extremely hard to source- this one is optioned with power assist brakes, power seat and hardtop.Note there is no softop with this T Bird.Original exterior colour is Torch Red with 2 tone red/white interior.Very little paint left on T Bird so removal of balance will be easy.Car has all original body panels and floors with only minor rust and filler on rear quarters-no replacement panels needed.The prior owner claimed engine has been rebuilt but I have no papers to confirm this. Engine did fire up with petrol in carby .T Bird has correct air cleaner and carby .Valve covers appear to be 1956.This is a great resto project for someone post virus . Comes with some parts and new front bumper bar.
