Beautiful car, but it would look a whole lot nicer with a PMD motor in it!

Stunning looking car.
Two things I'd change....remove the "on every second car" TT2's, and fit a radiator shroud.
Then every time I'd drive it, I'd lament a little it didn't have a Pontiac in it, lol.

Couldn't own it w that Chevy in there but the car is really nice otherwise, imagine how sweet that would be with a twin turbo 535 pump gas Pontiac under the hood.

Absolutely agree. Now it's just another 56 Chevy.

Why in the hell put all the effort and money in the car and then put a crap heart in it ? I'd rather see a 301 or even an Iron duke 4 cylinder in it over what it has now -
