Well, it wouldn't hurt if it were an Alfa as well, but this will do. $16.5k, and with the powertrain and chassis upgrades, you don't get to debate NPoCP, it's just NP.

Have to give credit to the BaT posting, not a personal find of mine.

Go for a 56, the filler for the gas tank is in the most badass location.

There are kits to move a 55s behind the tail light if you want to.

Nice wagon but still a little on the high side for a 4dr wagon even with the upgrades. It would be worth that kind of money if it was a 4dr sedan.

Maybe they had a nice one on before that they wanted to keep? I've got nothing.

Some people like the 55 better than the 56. I love both but I notice the 56 suffers from middle child syndrome. My grandfather has a 56 buts its so custom the filler is now in the trunk since the tail lights are from a Chrysler.

An ex-girlfriend's dad has a 57, red and white. Mostly stock, 98% fully restored. Just no pedal for the gas. The stalk goes down, but the three pedals don't all fit in there.

Almost got a chance to drive it, but it wasn't worth holding onto the destroyed relationship to drive 4 wheel drum brakes with 320HP.

It's an experience to drive a tri five that's stock. My grandpas 56 is a old custom that still has no power steering or brakes, all drums but with a 4 speed and 375-400hp. It's kind wild. Only drive it once before we started restoring it. They also have a 55 bel air hardtop that handles like a camaro. That's a fun car to drive handles good but still comfy. All the tri fives are great cars.
