I'm not a Chevy fan but I have always liked the '55 two door.  I think it's a waste of a good car too but... I also like the fact that there is this car out there with a Merlin in it :D

Good way to mess up a classic chevy and make a classic airplane a glider.

Merlins belong in airplanes.  any other use is sacrilege

Hehe, I may be 34, but old cars shouldn't be "butchered".
