    MY Euro 55

    I've own this 55 Delray for 21 years and have basically changed everything on the car (some more than once or twice) since I've had the car. It have a European look to it as I enjoyed BMW/Porsches for a period of time in my life. I'm originally from Southern Cal and all the 55's started looking alike so I decided to go another direction (Dare to be different)! So here are a few of the details about this 55:

    * Painted Titanium Metallic base /clear coat from a Porsche Cayanne (cross between silver/gray)
    * Porsche 993 door handles
    * BMW 3 Series "M" leather interior with fold down rear seats
    * Custom leather front door panels with Mercedes black leather inserts
    * BMW 18"/20" Breyton rims
    * BMW 5 series side marker lights
    * ZZ3 GM crate motor with Street & Performance multi port fuel injection
    * Corvette 700R4 overdrive trans
    * Corvette C-4 rear suspension
    * All stainless trim has been brushed with scott-brite
    * All chrome parts like bumpers, grille, headlights benzels have been powder coated silver with clear coat
    * Dakota Digital gauges
    * Stainless gas tank/aluminum drive shaft
    * Etc., Etc.
