Retiree Lists Two Hot Rod Chevys

Times are tough, especially for guys retiring minus a major portion of their 401-Ks. So this retiree in Laurel is selling a couple of really nice hot rod Chevys for excellent prices. His wife has written the Craigslist ad: "Twice as much husband. Half as much income," she writes. Cars must go.
Hard to go wrong with either of these cars. The touch part is choosing. The 1956 Chevy is listed for $15,000 or best offer. It's got a nothing-special cruiser 350, a bench seat, and a funky cowl-induction hood. A fine looking cruiser hot rod. The 1961 Bel Air has a better build on its 350 with a "full-race cam," an aluminum high-rise manifold, a 650 Holly and a set of headers. Corvette rallys also look nice. And it's less expensive at $13,000 or best. With both painted in perfect hot rod black, it's a tough choice. But I'm going with the Bel Air, since I can't remember the last time I've seen one on the road or even for sale.
Got to wonder about this retiree, though. I'd keep one, sell the other, and get a greeter job at Wall-Mart.
