Have found the next car on the list
Just waiting on the sellers strange half shafts turning up as it's buggered one of the billet ones up :cry: lol

1957 Chevy Bel air, Australian import so rhd, 8.8 litre 540 ci big block Chevy V8 and a BDS 8-71 blower 800 hp
Th400 transmission on manual valve body, Detroit locker axle and strange shafts going in, tubbed rear with massive wheels and tyres and skinnier front runners, road going drag car
Discs all round and power brakes, was viewing it last weekend but waiting til shafts are in then going up to view it and buy hopefully, listed as mint condition without a mark on it too to bottom

The only thing missing is Aircon, but being rhd is a huge bonus, I've never had a supercharged car before so will be something different and the missus is proper keen aswell

Bet that will be interesting to drive :cry:

Not sure white suits it much, but it looks lovely! Would look great with another colour over the white.

That's what I thought when I saw it mate, I'd prefer orange and white but it's absolutely mint with a matching price tag so won't want to be doing to much to it

Mega rare to find a factory standard rhd in the uk

Gutted had a phone call last night the seller has backed out of the sale as he can't bare to part with it :-(

Caddyshack 06-06-2019 05:55 PM

That is disappointing

Glenn_ 15-06-2019 08:56 AM

Love that. I love cars like this.

visa_broke 16-06-2019 12:35 AM

sorry to hear that, the right one will come up at some point.

I've been looking into dodge magnum engines lately in particular the 5.7 to see if I can find the bell housing pattern but most sites don't show this :(

quite fancy getting an american v8 and putting it in something german.
