@@PoBoyRacing80 agreed about the flame throwers. I didn't see any sparkplugs or other igniters on the tailpipe area. Doesn't mean that there isn't any or use to have at one time
@@PoBoyRacing80 I just went through the pictures of the 55 and couldn't see any igniters on the tailpipes but they would be good for that if someone wanted flamethrowers for sure
Nick, I've been watching you do these test rides for a while now! I never seen you drive badly, or question the way you drive. If anything I'm always ready to see you get on it and snag some gears...some are made to dance! Drive fast, take chances!........safely!!!
Several months back you had an old Ford P/U on your lot. I saw it today in Maryland. A few years ago I saw your liquid courage panel truck at a local car show.
Sounds like an M22 rock crusher trans in this one. That's an unmistakable whine coming from underneath. I couldn't see if it had the telltale drain plug on the side during the undercarriage shots. If it is, that's worth the price of admission right there.Sweet 55! Is that a Ford 9" up under her?!
Nick the people who comment on not utilizing neutral. Don't know what they're talking about. It adds life to the clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing.. So you do you and ignore those arm chair quarterbacks who don't have a clue. I have a 6 speed Eclipse spyder Gt. I always pop it into neutral coming to a stop. I have been driving over 47 years and used to drive a truck. I do know what I'm talking about

On commercial vehicles you should never be moving in neutral. If you do that in a driving test you'll fail. The reason is trucks don't generally have synchronized transmissions and if you lose your brakes you may not be able to get it back into gear. In cars and especially on motorcycles, it should never be out of gear in case you need to gun it to get out of the way of something.
A REAL GOOD LOOKING RIDE!👍 Whatta a gorgeous car! They don't get much nicer than this beauty, ecspecially for it's age! They can keep there electric and solar powered cars, I want Horsepower under my foot👍When I step on it! Preferably a set of 2 Holley 750 dual Quad,s sticking through the hood. 😀
I have several hot rods and Bloomington gold Corvette's, trans am, I've been reading a survival book and the only automobile that could survive an EMP from another nation is a 70 olds station wagon with a 455 in it , 1 of few with no computerised parts , plus I'd like to have 1 with 33× 12,50's and KC daylighters on it
Beautiful vehicle. It's running too rich and the timing is way too advanced that's why it struggled during start-up. It has an oil leak but that isn't a big deal with all of the room you have to work on it and it will keep the floorboards from rotting out. Lol! But all in all... Very nice restomod!! Love the Cragars.
You know I think this was my dad's old 55 he bought it from Larry Dixon in Pontiac Michigan do you happen to know any history on the car bye chance? If it's the same 55 my dad one 2and place for best of show at the Woodward dream cruise in 1999
1962 was the first year for the 427. They made the W code version in 62 and 63. Those were very limited production. Less than 100 in 62 and the 63 was basically a race engine.
Well I've just never heard a radio in a vehicle cutting on before I've heard it turned on and playing normally but I have never heard anyone describe it as cutting on that really sounds backyard bad
nice ride...the 56 apple looks soft bouncy unstable wanderfull and dangerous compaired to this one. This one can hang on if unleashed and put it down.. Dare not launch that 409 apple car hard and run all 4..This car i would and you should ;). oh im shure you have allready .. yah..the apple car needs fresh 60/40 shocks and fresh springs and dual bowl in my opinion. I like the Apple better..Its a real steeet gasser..but this car is much safer for the new borns ;)

If I could afford it the only thing I'd change are those tailpipes, they stick way too far out.
Agreed! They stick out, like a sore thumb!
Unless they are out that far, because they are flame throwers. Then I understand them being that long

Agreed. Those are some shin killers. Only other thing would be to change the grill back to stock. Awesome ride !

Ayy thank you
Nice!!!!!!! 👍👍
This would be a great car to take to the Tri 5 Nationals!!! 🙂
Wow Nice 55 chevy and i love the 427 and the mag wheels. Thank you Nick for the ride and the cold start!!
Yep, very cool!!!
Several months back you had an old Ford P/U on your lot. I saw it today in Maryland. A few years ago I saw your liquid courage panel truck at a local car show.
The Stewart Warner gages and tach fit right in perfect in that 55 👍
Been nearly 50 years since i've driven a 4 speed but i'd sure like to try that one , maybe in my next life eh ? ;)
Nice ride Nick, this will sell fast. Beauty ☺️, these cars are Chevy's best. Another Maple motors winner.
Running downhill in neutral was originally called North Ga Overdrive for the big trucks back in the day.
We never called it that we called it Hillbilly overdrive..
That car is sweet! I dig the whole setup minus the American Graffiti decals
best looking 55 chevy ive seen a real good looking car thank you for your video

If it's a M-22 somebody knows how to replace synchro's. But I agree that's a rock crusher sing.
You sell the cars that I dream about the real stout bad boy rides that brings out this old mans testerone.

What a beautiful car! My favorite color too! Very nice motor as well! Great job Nick!
I think you enjoy driving me crazy with the sweet rides .

427 came out in 1966 .. so not a 1960 model.
Sweet 55 !
He thinks he's a know it all.
How does a car salesmen sell. Sadly lie threw there teeth.
Hey Nick, the 427 didn’t come out until 62 and then less than 100 were produced.
A REAL GOOD
LOOKING RIDE!👍

That's good looking 55 except for the rust and it's a 150 model that was the plain Jane in it's day
Nick , I'm on the market for a early 70's big block oldsmobile station wagon , yep sounds crazy , but it's what I want

71 Vista Cruisers are the sweetest wagons... Except for the Nomads.
A true old school Hot Rod!!👍🇺🇸

Real Nice Car, But what kind of chips Lsys or Better Made?
What size tires are on the rear and front ?
👍👍👍👍👍
Don't be scared to fire down on it turn it loose
Totally AWESOME

55 is awesome 🏆 best wheel cuts they really 🍀 get R done😎✌️
I always coast in neutral when I can’t decide where to turn
Sharp ride
Seems pretty wet under the whole car front to rear. Noticed rear ended housing leaking fluid as well. Other than that car looks sharp overall
💀 floor the gas twice take your foot off of it and turn the key the choke will be set and fast idle will be up. In a minute hit the gas to drop idle.
Nice color, but I don't think Universal Studios appreciates using the name "American Graffiti" on the car.....
Nick … friendly battle of the bands … yours against the Fusion Kidd’s . It would be great to see !!!
We are in the same band lol we have won plenty together
it appears to have a Saginaw transmission,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Saginaw with Hurst Shifter\linkage. 😉 😎 😉
i'm confused when Nick called the motor the "1960 model"….chevy only made the 427 from 1966-69 right??
1962 was the first year for the 427. They made the W code version in 62 and 63. Those were very limited production. Less than 100 in 62 and the 63 was basically a race engine.
@@jimb7304 thanks Jim!! I’m starting to think nick just meant to say “1960’s model”
Would I pay $36K for a 1955 Chevy? No, because I don’t have the money. Would probably take it if they gave it to me.
Wished it was different color. But My wife said no. Nice car. True on those pipes
I do the same thing with neutral easier on clutch
If you ever get a black and white one I might have to break the bank
C'mon Nick stand on that big block son! Haha
Nick will get fired if he do that.
What were the purple spots
I want it 😢
Well I've just never heard a radio in a vehicle cutting on before I've heard it turned on and playing normally but I have never heard anyone describe it as cutting on that really sounds backyard bad
we are from the south , never heard of backyard bad lol
👊💯😎💯👊

Don't have 1 of those YET
This car needs to trim down the exhaust pipes even with the rear bumper. Right now they look tacky to me
They didn’t make a 427 in 1960
Only if I could! Lol
Throwing it in neutral is called ,,,hillbilly overdrive,,,.
. Just don't turn right, Thale be okay . gb* hard life (MULDEW)
Look like it was modified for performance.
I don’t know how Maple motors sells her cars when the turkey signals don’t work the horn doesn’t work wipers don’t work you can get a car inspected
