Thread: 55 swb project

Hi everyone,

I was looking at a 1955 swb soft top today. It has a later model series 2/3 motor in it. The body is reasonably straight. The chasis is good. The bulkhead has some rust in it, but could be fixed. Is it possible to find original series 1 motors? I don't want to spend the rest of my life trying to get a motor for it. Secondly, what would it be worth roughly?

Thanks,

JC
