Once you chop the top, it goes from a 44000 car to a 10000 car.

@@tomhiggens6861 don't get me wrong I love the 55 as much as the 57, but i don't see the appeal in chopped tops. the only cars I've seen with chopped tops that are appealing is cars made from 1920 to 1945.

No it doesn’t,there’s plenty of people into that kinda thing,just because you’re not doesn’t decrease the value lmao

What is cool about this 55 is that it's not like everybody elses 55 at the local cruise night or car show. You will have your purist complain that the chop top is no good but most if not all the complainers dont have a 55 in there garage, nevermind a stock looking one or a custom . This car is going to definitely bring summer fun to someone real soon .

Probably the first time I’d say I’d turn down a 55 Chevy hardtop in my life. Mostly because of the chopped top, chrome trim can be replaced but that top ain’t going back.

It can go back if you know a good welder lol. They/The builder had to cut and weld it to get what you see if you think about it, so it could be undone. But I do understand the "Cost/Benefit analysis" being taken into account when considering if you want to buy it.

i think the car was there for a long while.

There's a chopped 55 here in Hawkesbay New Zealand first saw it at the local dragstrip,late 80s was white and a bit rough sold for 10k was white .now had full rebuild is black looks wicked.unreal to see a car and remember it from back then. I understand people liking stockish ones but as a body man I now what it takes to build one.if you like customs this is a awesome car.🇳🇿

Nice car man but wish it hadn’t been chopped. I guess a lot of people like them like that but I’m not one of them. But it’s still a cool car👍

Nice to see you are honest about your cars 👍

great test drive and i like your up front assessment of the good & not so good things but nothing major, love the car

Too cool damn you'd be the talk of the town and you can piss the neighbors off ,I want it😎

Hi Nick....enjoyed the video.... The 55 is a nice ride!....

that car was setting around there for a good while

Damn that Chevrolet is nice especially the paint job I like that black and orange mixture boy if I had the money for that I would get that so fast!

Cool car nice riding with you, don't think I've ever seen you get down on one like that Yelp she's got some Horsepower ✅

I 😍 the car, chopped top and everything. You kept me laughing every time you stepped 🤣 on the ⛽️ gas!

Looked like it has air horn under the rear.? Nice car though, fun weekend Street Racer!

I notice the windshield is cracked that will be a job finding glass for that since it is chopped

Reminds me of a tricked out HotWheels car I would have had when I was a kid.

I like everything but the taillights should be left stock, chopped top and doors are great work done to them

Never confirmed Horn, Wife made you Nervously confused, however …her ride along was a blessing and she should drive some time.

Sounds like it has great power, good looking car, was that a cop at around the 13:20 on the video, still say you have a great job Nick.

Perfect beautiful amazing looking car beautiful colours wow perfect thanks Nick have a very nice day mate

Let's get some groceries!! Beautiful car Nick.

Very very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't drive 55 ,lol lol , nice lookin 55 Nick,,should go fast..nice chop

If the spider isn't included, I'm not buying it.

Big time head turner 🔥

Got some nice rides this week Nick!

Darn I don't know if I want to buy it are not. You didn't check the HORN. That's really a nice car.

The Best are the one's not for sale in the background

Nice car. Nick. Also love the stuff i bought the t shirt and stickers. But on a serious note let me give you some advice. I have been married almost 20 years with 2 beautiful boys. And your learning quick that the wife is always right. Just don't forget it. Lol. Also yes ma'am goes along way. Have a great day and week Nick. God bless

OK car, cute passenger, wish my real estate agent looked like that, wowsir

That is one sweet sounding 55

Nice motor. That's about it. I'll take on of the 60's impalas.

A chopped '55 two door hardtop.......hmmmm, someone will like it. It is a beast though.

I honestly love the harley Davidson paint scheme on it

Why the difference of the two rear shock?

Under the hood? Where's the hood?

Very nice oh so is the car !

This chevy is a podracer from mos eysley spaceport where podracer is competing, thanks Nick stay cool 😎 😎 😊

Looks like a fiberglass car.

Have you ever been pulled over during a test drive? I have a few times.Never got a ticket though. Beautiful car even if its chopped.

Dang, who did work on that car?

Cool family car

Once you chop the upper car … windows , trim and rear window and windshield have to be special made and pay extra … This is like throwing out factory wiring harness and savings 5 lbs of Weight … Stupid is as Stupid does !

You have the best job in the world

Can I test drive it too 🤣

Here come the low ballers. Good thing though this is car that is adrenaline rush. Oh actually you can bring it back from a chop top if you know what your doing. I know a body guy that could turn this into the damn Batmobile.
