Since my eclipse is getting trashed already, i guess i’ll post some pics of my other car.
56 Pontiac Star Chief, 400 small block. Looks like a bel air from a distance but it’s got very small differences that seperate this car from the ever so popular bel air.
if the pics don’t work try [http://s1011.photobucket.com/home/cjconlon692/index](http://s1011.photobucket.com/home/cjconlon692/index)
Yes, i know it’s beat up, a tad rough. however, she does start on the 1st try and has a lot of potiential in my eye. It’s a labor of love lol. more pics as the build starts will be posted soon.

Cool car. What are your plans for it?
Id leave it looking like it does and work on the motor and suspension and have a cool driver.
I really like the worn look on cars like that.

The plan is to get the body back in shape, fix the floor, possibly rebuild the 400, new carb, headers, dual glasspack, american racing rims & paint it a 2 tone red & white

I used to work with a guy named Dan that lives on 147 and he had a whole bunch of cars around his yard and I remember one being a '56 something.

This car we got right next to the stewarts on 147 heading down towards the village of scotia last november. it was sitting on a trailer for sale for about 3 weeks & then we bought it.
