Re: 1956 Chevrolet 210
Ironically, if I split the manifold on my inline 8 and fit unequal length 4-1 tubes and join them up it'll sound like any other V8. (Which is what the po' rodders did back in the day).
Also, people have this odd misconception that American cars are loud. By default most are almost Rolls-Royce quiet, it's only aftermarket systems that are rowdy.

Re: 1956 Chevrolet 210
I had (still have but lost touch a bit) a mate who to my knowledge has run Yanks since the 1970s. He hates noisy cars and says that's what drew him most to his impressive CV of Detroit's ( and Kenosha's) finest.
Remember this......?

Re: 1956 Chevrolet 210
It's so interesting the paradox. I don't expect to ever be able to afford a £39K car of any kind - but if I did have that to spend on a Chevy I'd spend it on putting mine back to stock or on a nice original/resto example.fried onions wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 11:08 pm https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1259166

Yeah, and the bod who wrecked that '57 probably does 500 miles a year.

Re: 1956 Chevrolet 210
OK Wob hive mind.
I have to accept I am never going to be able to restore this car or pay anyone else to do it.
Where's the best place to sell partly dismantled part bodged projects of this kind?

Re: 1956 Chevrolet 210
My immediate thought would be the various forums or clubs....Tri-Chevy Forum has a few British members. Mr Impala has some great contacts too....

Re: 1956 Chevrolet 210
I have put it on Rods n Sods asking 5k - no idea if that’s OK or outrageous but you have to put a price on. Ex says she thinks (with all her expert car knowledge lol) it’s worth £12k which it definitely isn’t. I am going to talk to Evoke classics next week to see if I can auction it on there.
