Looking up at the motor it still looks new, it has the GM part
number sticker on it and a high torque starter. 4L60E electronic

number still on it.
The closer I looked, the more I loved it. The amount of thought and
pride that went into this build is very impressive. I look at so
many 55-57s and this one is outstanding to me. You will not regret
buying this one!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
