Jonas, nice find, top of the line for 55, probably has power steering and brakes does it have AC? Last year for the 6 volt. They are great highway cruisers, the to speed auto make them a bit of a slug to get started but once they are moving watch out, 270 is a great motor, brakes work good when properly adjusted, a system similar to the PW.
This spring I converted over my 55 Plymouth to 12 volt and put in a fresh 270 Hemi, with the three speed manual overdrive running 60 to 70 on a 500 mile trip we got about 22 mile per gallon. Lot of fun Good Luck
