Which Chevy car should I buy?

[Lee Iacocca]

I’m going to pull the trigger, which one would you buy? I will call them 1 (56) and 2 (57). Be aware that 1 has no heat or air, but it can be added. I know, off topic but I have no friends…..well, 4.

1956 Chevrolet 150

ZZ502CI BIG BLOCK POWER, TH400 TRANS, 9" FORD REAR END, SUPER SLICK PAINT, COOL!

The 2(57) is more my speed. Looks a little more street friendly.

@Lee Iacocca I'd go with 2 for the manual. I tried to find a Camero to fall in love with, but couldn't...guess my theoretical new truck has my head turned for a while.

For those who have gotten a Longhorn with the black and cattle tan interior delivered already, anyone put WeatherTech floor liners in it? Specifically the Cocoa colored ones? I'm curious how they look. Thankfully I'm not too far from one of the only two WeatherTech retail stores, so will have to visit after my truck comes in.

Thanks, at 62 years old I’m thinking auto, but my legs still work fine. I got the cattle/black but not the truck yet.

I’ll have to say the interior on the 56 is kinda crapy, the car as a whole is solid. The ZZ502 crate motor makes 508 HP on it’s own and cost $10,800. I’m leaning towards it. Look closely at the undercarriages on both.

Same age as me, and after one knee replacement a few years ago, and another one coming at some point, I understand. Still, in my mind a muscle car should be a manual, but mileage, and tastes always vary.

No surgery yet, but you‘re gonna be the cause of it.

Then again, with over 500HP, do I really need to snatch gears? I get it, it’s all about the shifting when you feel like it. With 32” of rear tires it will only matter in the neck. 1 has two 16” MT’s on the rear.

I’m going with 1 unless you all vote me out.
