@ANICON2006 Me too mate, this would turn heads quicker than a ferrari. I was sitting outside a pub a couple of months back and porsche after porsche drove past and then a 57' bel air and people came out from inside to have a look at it as it screamed up the street. Greetings from the UK

ya know you should have made it clear when you were saying its faster than a ferrari, is that its faster with THAT engine...the original engine wouldnt be faster than a ferrari
Stock, a '55 Bel-Air is probably faster than a good deal of Ferraris from that era. This was, after all, the era when American cars were not only #1, but #1 by a HUGE margin.
namybot: "Lotus, Radical, TVR, GM and Nissan make better cars than Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maybach, BMW and Mercedes-Benz."
That's your own logic.
Also, the Testarossa (it's one word, you automotive illiterate) was not the only car Ferrari made. Most Ferraris from that era couldn't approach 130. The Bel-Air (unlike Euros from that era) was made of steel (meaning it weighed almost 2 tons), plus it has room for five passengers or more, versus a lighter, slower Euro two-seater.
@Idoloish I know more about Ferrari than you will ever know, I'm a die-hard Ferrari enthusiast. The 1957 250 Testa Rossa was (Two words, you automotive illiterate. You are thinking of the 1987 512 Testarossa which was( one word, you automotive illiterate. You need to Apologise for insulting me!!! I got the facts right you got them wrong
I never said "Lotus, Radical, TVR, GM and Nissan make better cars than Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maybach, BMW and Mercedes-Benz."
This is not comic books, son. This is cars. An automotive illiterate like you needs to understand that your favorite hero, Ferrari, wont win in this case just because you want it too. There's this thing called reality and cold hard facts. There were less than 50 250s made, while there were thousands of Bel-Airs from this era. In other words, Europe had to strain to come up with a car that wasn't even half as good as a Bel-Air, which was an average production car by American standards.
@Idoloish You still call me an automotive illiterate but it was me that made you look like a complete fool when you thought i named a car wrong when it was you that doesn't have a clue in the first place. You tried to correct me but i was right in the first place and you just made yourself look like a dick on the internet. WELL DONE SHERLOCK.
Why are you arguing over events from 60 years ago because 60 years later Ferrari are still the most successful team on the planet, This is a FACT.
namybot: "I think Lotus, Radical, TVR, GM and Nissan make better cars than Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maybach, BMW and Mercedes-Benz."
Again, you're basing your logic entirely on who can make a car travel faster around a race track (or indeed who even cares about racing in Europe period). However, you'd never say Peugeot makes better cars than Ferrari (which they probably do) because they'd won more races by that time and have a longer racing history.
"Why are you arguing over events from 60 years ago"
Don't insult me again by saying this is an argument (an automotive illiterate like you isn't worthy to argue with me. This is merely me picking on you for being so stupid). Why are -you- trying to debate events from sixty years ago? Does it make you mad that Yank cars used to be so much better than Eurocars?
"60 years later Ferrari are still the most successful team on the planet,"
@Idoloish Your a typical fucking Yank, Stupid, bias and likes those gay cowboys.
Ferrari are the Kings of Speed, Ferrari broke 5min barrier on Nurburgring back in 2005 and the 7min barrier in 2010, Ferrari have won 28,000x races in FIA GT and have won 216x F1GP and Le Mans 9x and have the most successful line up of racing cars on the planet.
Ferrari was the first to hit 200mph and the first to use a rear wing, Ferrari also introduced Carbon Fibre way back in 1987.
"Ferrari are the Kings of Speed" Ferrari can't even make a better car than Toyota or Ford. Actually, Ferrari can't make a good car period. If you want a good European car, try the Germans (and the Brits, to a much lesser extent).
"Your a typical fucking Yank, Stupid, bias and likes those gay cowboys."
I'm American and you're British. You calling anything associated with me gay is like me calling you fat.
You labor under the delusion Europe still makes the best cars, don't you?
"you Automotive-Retard" That's a strange way of blurting that out about yourself, but then again I never understood British English (I assume you were calling yourself a retard, since you couldn't possibly be referring to me. I, unlike you, know what I'm talking about).
"You actually think Toyota and Ford make better cars than Ferrari. Your in your own world" I'm in reality. Also, I -know- Ford and Toyota do make better cars than Ferrari (so does virtually every other car company).
namybot: "I've never heard of conspicuous consumption."
Not surprising that an automotive illiterate is also a business illiterate. Conspicuous consumption is when a company sells overpriced crap, knowing people will buy it to show off their wealth. The most expensive coffees in the world involve animal feces. Fitting that you compare Ferrari to feces though.
If you want one of the best cars in Europe, buy German. If you want one of the best cars on Earth, buy Japanese.
@Idoloish I think your mixing me up with somebody else. I never said any of those things you accuse me of saying.
The words never left my mouth "I think Lotus, Radical, TVR, GM and Nissan make better cars than Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maybach, BMW and Mercedes-Benz." so i don't know what the fuck you are trying to say.
Since you think Peugeot make better cars than Ferrari your obviously in your own world.
@Idoloish It doesn't matter I'm finished with you, you're obviously bias and too patriotic to accept European Dominance in the Automotive world.
I clicked and looked at video statistics and saw everybody that has watched this vid 9/10 is American. So this is stupid trying to make you see the light when your just a Stupid bastard American. Fuck America.
@Idoloish Actually it is called the 250 Testa Rossa. IT IS TWO WORDS.
How much of a fool can you make your self look. Trying to correct me like you think you know it all when in fact it is me the got the Facts and names right in the first place.
Europe make the worlds most desired cars and are at the top of the game. You are nothing but an over-opinionated school boy that has probable never driven a car at all.
Get back on your PS3 and stick to the games, little boy. This is a mans world.
It's obvious you're upset after that intellectual pwnage, son.
Also, if I were a "biased American", why would I admit that Japan makes the best cars in the world? Or for that matter admit Germany makes the cars in Europe? You need to stop being jealous of other countries, kid.
Until then, enjoy calling people nigger over XBox Live.
@Idoloish Upset after what intellectual (pwnage) are your 15 years old or what?
The fact that you can't understand the difference between facts and opinion obviously shows how intellectual you are. LMAO. You (admit) Japan makes the best cars in the world, who do you think you are to tell the world who makes the best cars? That's your opinion not a fact. FACT is Europe are at the top. Abnegation?
"bias American" Doesn't mean you favour America, it means America favours, There is a difference.
@Idoloish How can you call Ferrari shit? Ferrari have won 28,000 races and have won Le Mans 9x and have won F1 216x. Ferrari have created Legendary cars. F40, F50, 250 Testa Rossa, 250GTO, Enzo, 288GTO, 330P4 and other amazing cars like the f40C, F50GT, FXX, 599XX, 458, 599GTO/GTB and 1000hp F1 cars.
Calling Ferrari shit and saying they can't make cars is the dumbest thing i have ever heard in my life.
Watch some reviews on Youtube, you'll find a lot of experts that adore Ferrari.
Ferraris burst into flames regularly. Their transmissions have a habit of breaking (particularly the clutch). This is true of most Italian cars. This used to be true of limey cars too, but they've rid themselves of that. However, this is not enough to win back the best automaker spot.
It's fun reading you rant about how jealous you are of America and Japan, but the fact remains: Japan's cars have reigned supreme since the early 90s. Europe was only truly #1 during the 80s.
@Idoloish I'm not jealous of America and Japan. Why would I ? My nations racing record is by far one of the best. We have won Le Mans over 50x and Formula 1 over 500x. We have more winning racing drivers per class than any other nation. You should be jealous!
When Japan or American can make a car with a much quality and class as a Royce, Bentley, BMW or Merc or make a super car with as much luxury and speed as a Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Pagani or Porsche then I will agree.
Ferrari in the past 65 years have made 101 Road cars only one(458) has set on fire due to a glue used.
Since 1929 Ferrari has in total made 261 cars. These cars are the most valuable, extraordinary, exciting and most desirable collection the world will ever know.
Know matter what you think or what you say history stays the same.
Ferrari is a Legendary name, it self must be respected in an almost godly manner.
"only one(458) has set on fire due to a glue used."
Wrong, you automotive illiterate.
"These cars are the most valuable, extraordinary, exciting and most desirable collection the world will ever know."
Again, conspicuous consumption, you business illiterate.
"My nations racing record is by far one of the best. We have won Le Mans over 50x and Formula 1 over 500x. We have more winning racing drivers per class than any other nation."
@Idoloish I didn't mean one 458 Italia, I meant one out of the 261 models Ferrari has made over the past 65yrs. You automotive illiterate.
Conspicuous consumption is your opinion not fact, Ferrari have their fair share of race victories to prove the point. People don't buy Ferrari for the name, Ferrari make driving heaven. Until you have driven one you'll never know.
You seem to hate Ferrari, you can't accept the glorious history Ferrari has made for it self. Keep your silly opinions, child
@Idoloish Anybody that says Ferrari are over priced and crap are very deluded fools.
Ferraris are very special cars and carry a passion and sensation no other car has, Ferrari have been making brilliant cars since day one. Ferrari aren't always about the speed but more the driving experiences, they will melt you heart and capture your soul.
You live in a very dull and boring world if you can't appreciate the precious gifts Ferrari has made.
"Ferrari have been making brilliant cars since day one."
Brilliant like a Christmas tree (as they inevitably catch fire)
Of course, I wouldn't expect any less from an automotive illiterate such as you, who labors hard under the delusion Europe still makes the best cars. HINT: If Gordon Murry had to look outside of Europe to find a car to base the F1 on, Europe doesn't make the best cars. Not only that but you're under the delusion that Ferrari makes the best cars in Europe.
@Idoloish Again you're spitting nothing but hate-fuelled opinions, nothing you say is 100% true. Ferrari have racing cars from the 30s that still get raced at historical events, they have never set on fire plus can you think of any other model Ferrari has made in the past 80yrs that has set on fire other than the 458?
It's a shame you know nothing about Ferrari and their fabulous history, you change your view of them in seconds.
@Idoloish I wasn't talking about my self in 2nd person seem as my life evolves around Ferrari, I "KNOW" I know more about them than you do.
"F355, 550, 360, 612, F450, 599, Enzo, etc." yeah they might set on fire if someone crashes them the same way a Vette or a Viper would. So your point is invalid.
I'm bored of your blind hate-fulled rants, please just go away. You Prejudice bias fool.
Who said I hated Ferrari for being poorly engineered pieces of shit? Lamborghinis are also pieces of shit, but I love them. In fact, I like Ferrari's front engined cars. Actually, if you Google image search my favorite, the 599, a picture of a 599 in flames (and no, not after having crashed, you automotive illiterate) pops up on the first page....
@Idoloish How the hell can you seriously call Ferrari " poorly engineered pieces of shit"
Ferrari have won Le Mans 9x, F1GP 220x and have a total victory count around the 28k mark. Ferrari are a Legendary racing team proving time after time they truly are a special breed.All you can do is call them shit when their rich racing history says otherwise. I've seen picture of vettes and vipers on fire too, you gunna start calling them shit cars too.
@namybot Wow I can not express how RETARDED you are in words that would fit this reply box so, all I can say in short, is that you need to do your homework and learn about what you're trying to argue about before you open up your mouth and prove to everyone how retarded you are.
@THExVETERAN STFU, your name looks like you have spent the last decade of your life playing CoD. Go play the game little boy.
This Video is mostly Viewed by Americans, I'm out numbered by idiots.
If I had a couple of more Europeans baking me up on this idiotic point you silly Americans are trying to fight, you'd be baking down like a bunch of bitches.
Idoloish is an over-opinionated collage gay-boy, i would fight him bare knuckle to shut his American faggot face up.
@namybot LOL, CoD is for faggots. I like how pissed off you're getting cause it's really effecting your grammar. "...couple of more Europeans BAKING ME... you'd be BAKING..." Just accept that American made cars were and still are far more superior than than EUROPEAN cars. btw Ford almost bought out the Ferrari company in the 50's but they decided not to because Ford felt that their cars were indeed and still true to this day, are superior. Just like every American brand car. YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT.
@THExVETERAN Actually Ford tried to buy Ferrari because he couldn't beat them. After six years of Ferrari dominance Ford was going nowhere and Henry was getting pissed of because Enzo was pissing himself laughing at henry's pathetic attempts at trying to win so henry paid Lotus(British) engineers to build a car, the result Ford GT40. That so happens to win Le Mans the following four years. " What a coincidence"
Do your self a favour look up Le Mans winners ans look at the top five.
@THExVETERAN "American brands are superior". Seriously, use the internet and do some hardcore research of Porsche, Ferrari and Audi racing Success and will will find its a lot richer than any American brands, European brands are Superior it cannot be argued with because it is FACT. Deal with the fact Europe has won more races than America by a huge margin.
I'm not saying it wrong that you love American cars, I respect your loyalty but saying they are Superior is not true, FAR FROM TRUE.
@namybot its an opinion of yours not a fact anyways your comparing a car's made for the masses against supercars that cost triple what a pony car whould
@krispy022 Yes it is a fact Europe is far better than America when it comes to racing, nobody can argue with the fact over the year European cars have been far superior to American cars.
Whether we make the best road cars, is opinion. It is purely down to personal taste.
I know my racing history, I've seen a lot of races in my lifetime and i have spent many hours of my life researching car manufactures histories, European companies are far more Superior to American cars.
It was Enzo that spat in Henry's face and said no, not the other way. Henry was so desperate for Ferrari and when Enzo pissed in his face, it humiliated him on a global scale.
"Enzo was pissing himself laughing at henry's pathetic attempts at trying to win so henry paid Lotus(British) engineers to build a car, the result Ford GT40"
Ford had never entered Le Mans prior to entering the GT40 (although Henry Ford II confessed he'd always wanted a Ford in Le Mans prior). As for Lotus, they ever never involved in either the GT40 or GT project.
In fact, the GT40 Mark I was so horribly built by Europeon engineers, that Henry had to put Carol Shelby in charge of the project (testament to the poor European quality was the Mark I's suspension failed during a test run). Shelby even remarked how poorly designed the GT40 was. He had to almost built a completely new car (new transmission, new engine, new suspension and an almost completely new chassis and body).
The result of Shelby's meddling and superior American parts and engineering (remember, this is the 1960s, when American cars were still #1 and by a gigantic margin) was the GT40 Mark II. It was the American Mark II that went on to humiliate Ferrari and become more infamous than the European Mark I. This was followed by the American Mark IV, until the rules changed. After that, the Mark I raced, but not before having its suspension and other parts replaced by American parts.
I wouldn't say modern day American cars are superior to European cars (with a few exceptions). At least, American cars that come from American brands are usually inferior to their European counterparts (again, with a few exceptions).
Of course, before the early 1970s, the exact opposite was true. During that period, if you were upper-lower class American, you probably drove a better car than the Queen of England.
@Idoloish "I wouldn't say modern day American cars are superior to European cars (with a few exceptions)." I respect your opinion but what about Ford, Since about 2007 they've been putting out great product comparable, or superior to non-luxury euro brands. Gm & chryler aren't too bad any more either.
Granted, Americans still make better engines than Europe does and Ford does produce great American cars. However, the American cars that Ford actually produces are only a handful (one could argue the Mustang is the only truly American Ford car left, since the Ford GT and Thunderbird went out of production). Most Fords now are European or Japanese. The same goes for GMs and Chryslers ( with few exceptions). However, a lot of good American cars are under Japanese names.
@lockdown260 Euro quality has definitely dropped considerably in the past 15 years, bringing European cars in line with improved American cars. Japanese cars have dropped in quality but still trounce them.
You would have liked a 54ish Buick I saw at the Lonestar Round Up in Austin, TX. Old, rusty, bagged - you're typical looking rat rod - but it had a full frame rebuild with a Dodge Viper drive train, including the V10 engine. Sickest car I've seen in my life.
Not the best looking classic American car in my opinion, but i love the concept of old school looks with modern handling, comfort and power. Just a thought on the inside of the car though, do something about that stereo. Seriously. It should match the style. Make it some old school looking with big chunky metal knobs to fit the rest of the dash, and either totally without a display, or at least one that is not made to look like something from a spaceship.
They didn't weigh 3800 lbs stock. More like 3000 lbs. You can't really call it a 55 year old car when everything but the sheet metal has been changed. Still a nice 55 though. I prefer the old school ones with the stock frames.
5:45 Old cars terrifying in the corners? How about old British sports cars? MG's, Austin Healeys, even classic Minis are fantastic fun on a winding road.
@blockheadface very true. the old school mini's are the shit. they can do anything any other car can do, and they are FWD. drop a k20 in one and it tears shit up.
@Idoloish I'm just pointing out that there are plenty of old cars that are fantastic fun and not at all "terrifying" around corners. British sports cars were just the first example that came to mind.
That is a sweet shoe box! I would rather have that than a Ferrari anyday..don't get me wrong I like the F430 and all...but something about the nostalgia of real Detroit steel makes that car worth so much better. (not to mention I'm 6'6, and those that mainly drive Ferrari's have short man complex LOL)
In my grandma's apartment complex parking lot, there is a 55' Bel Air, hell if you go there you'll see bunch of cars from the 50's......oh and the 60's too. It's really hidden and it's well guarded too. Nicest one there is a really decked out 52' Chieftain from Pontiac. My Grandma owns a 1967 Mustang Fastback, she drives it like 2 or 3 times a month.
@scfd5232 Fifteen years ago that would be a safe assumption, but small block 427s and even 454s are easy to come by now. -Even from GM, the small block Corvette LS7 is a 7 liter (427).
@scfd5232 wrong. whether an engine is a small block or big block has nothing to do with the actual displacement of the engine, it has to do with its specific configuration, and the thickness of the walls in between the cylinders. For instance, the GM LS7 from the Corvette Z06 is 427 cubic inches, yet a small block. For years, big-cube small block engines have become the norm in hot rodding.
@scfd5232 Well, it could be both, now couldn't it . . . Thickness of the walls between the cylinders? Sorry, but the only determiner of whether an engine is a small or big block is the bore spacing. In this case, the Morrison car uses the 7.0-liter LS small block, although the LS goes all the way down to 4.8 liters (same bore spacing). It's just a matter of the right bore and stroke combination within the same case. But the thickness of the walls between the cylinders? Nope.
Its no 50 year old car with all those new mechanical bits on it...and still looks as safe going around corners as a jelly on four wheels. Bring back the Edsel!!........Mike
something i never understood is why car companies, aftermarket companies, or anyone, would take a huge engine like that, with so much power, and put it into a heavy car with little aerodynamics. Just think if you were to put this engine into something the size and weight of a honda civic. unless im leaving something out, that thing will go, and fast
if the whole video had a repeating engine/exhaust note like at 4:12, i certainly wouldnt complain. love it when you open it up like that. nice car, great video.
And when "Joes trick forged 'A' arms breaks in 15 Yrs....& "Joes" is long out of business whos "trick" suspension are you going to use then? When you fill all but the body with a compilation of parts truely FOREIGN to the original.....it ceases to be a "55". One could conceivably use Ferrari suspension, drivetrain, et. al. underneath........that just makes it some weird hermaphrodite & NOT a '55'. With all the different makes of components....check for Chinese content.
I wondered who Art Morrison were after messing around with one of their cars on Gran Turismo 5. Never heard of them before then but it looks like they're doing a nice job.
great car but the center console and the front seats are very very ugly. the steering wheel is misplaced in a old car like this. they should take a old NARDI steering wheel
@MrCodPiece what do you mean by "off" the steering wheel angle is a bit canted up, but besides that it was totally fine. The car has more grip than the seats have bolstering though, so you do have to hang on a bit in the corners :)
What I want to know is how much did the car and all its parts cost in total?

Ferrari was the first to hit 200mph and the first to use a rear wing, Ferrari also introduced Carbon Fibre way back in 1987.
LOL keep your Ford.

"Ferrari are the Kings of Speed" Ferrari can't even make a better car than Toyota or Ford. Actually, Ferrari can't make a good car period. If you want a good European car, try the Germans (and the Brits, to a much lesser extent).
"Your a typical fucking Yank, Stupid, bias and likes those gay cowboys."
I'm American and you're British. You calling anything associated with me gay is like me calling you fat.
You labor under the delusion Europe still makes the best cars, don't you?

Not surprising that an automotive illiterate is also a business illiterate. Conspicuous consumption is when a company sells overpriced crap, knowing people will buy it to show off their wealth. The most expensive coffees in the world involve animal feces. Fitting that you compare Ferrari to feces though.
If you want one of the best cars in Europe, buy German. If you want one of the best cars on Earth, buy Japanese.

Ferraris burst into flames regularly. Their transmissions have a habit of breaking (particularly the clutch). This is true of most Italian cars. This used to be true of limey cars too, but they've rid themselves of that. However, this is not enough to win back the best automaker spot.
It's fun reading you rant about how jealous you are of America and Japan, but the fact remains: Japan's cars have reigned supreme since the early 90s. Europe was only truly #1 during the 80s.

@Idoloish I'm not jealous of America and Japan. Why would I ? My nations racing record is by far one of the best. We have won Le Mans over 50x and Formula 1 over 500x. We have more winning racing drivers per class than any other nation. You should be jealous!
When Japan or American can make a car with a much quality and class as a Royce, Bentley, BMW or Merc or make a super car with as much luxury and speed as a Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Pagani or Porsche then I will agree.

Ford had never entered Le Mans prior to entering the GT40 (although Henry Ford II confessed he'd always wanted a Ford in Le Mans prior). As for Lotus, they ever never involved in either the GT40 or GT project.

@Idoloish
In fact, the GT40 Mark I was so horribly built by Europeon engineers, that Henry had to put Carol Shelby in charge of the project (testament to the poor European quality was the Mark I's suspension failed during a test run). Shelby even remarked how poorly designed the GT40 was. He had to almost built a completely new car (new transmission, new engine, new suspension and an almost completely new chassis and body).
Idoloish 1 month ago 3
@Idoloish
The result of Shelby's meddling and superior American parts and engineering (remember, this is the 1960s, when American cars were still #1 and by a gigantic margin) was the GT40 Mark II. It was the American Mark II that went on to humiliate Ferrari and become more infamous than the European Mark I. This was followed by the American Mark IV, until the rules changed. After that, the Mark I raced, but not before having its suspension and other parts replaced by American parts.

Of course, before the early 1970s, the exact opposite was true. During that period, if you were upper-lower class American, you probably drove a better car than the Queen of England.

Granted, Americans still make better engines than Europe does and Ford does produce great American cars. However, the American cars that Ford actually produces are only a handful (one could argue the Mustang is the only truly American Ford car left, since the Ford GT and Thunderbird went out of production). Most Fords now are European or Japanese. The same goes for GMs and Chryslers ( with few exceptions). However, a lot of good American cars are under Japanese names.

bitoart 1 year ago
@scfd5232 wrong. whether an engine is a small block or big block has nothing to do with the actual displacement of the engine, it has to do with its specific configuration, and the thickness of the walls in between the cylinders. For instance, the GM LS7 from the Corvette Z06 is 427 cubic inches, yet a small block. For years, big-cube small block engines have become the norm in hot rodding.

@scfd5232 Well, it could be both, now couldn't it . . . Thickness of the walls between the cylinders? Sorry, but the only determiner of whether an engine is a small or big block is the bore spacing. In this case, the Morrison car uses the 7.0-liter LS small block, although the LS goes all the way down to 4.8 liters (same bore spacing). It's just a matter of the right bore and stroke combination within the same case. But the thickness of the walls between the cylinders? Nope.

great car but the center console and the front seats are very very ugly. the steering wheel is misplaced in a old car like this. they should take a old NARDI steering wheel

If runnning into this thing at a stop light occured, and me losing ensued shortly after, I'd just hand him my keys, and walk myself home.

I adore that sound, but is it just me or does that driving position look a little off?

@MrCodPiece what do you mean by "off" the steering wheel angle is a bit canted up, but besides that it was totally fine. The car has more grip than the seats have bolstering though, so you do have to hang on a bit in the corners :)
