so did you get the car??? or is still sitting there, usually these cars are left because they dont wont to sell it. they would watch it rust away but they wouldn't sell to someone who would put it on the road

@Rebelx1969 Boy you got that right....they were in my area(MD) and talked a guy into selling some stuff that we had been trying for years to get. The program pays them expenses and as far as I can find out from sources pay all their expenses too. Let them stay in the Midwest and pick.......have made everything someone has now think its worth a ton of money thanks to them......

i am willing to pay 550 dollars for it because its a 55 chevy.

Just think of all the interior seat fuzz that's now in the inside of the frame due to mice making their nests there. and all the mouse chewed wiring. I know this for fact as it was what had happened to my 57 when I bought it.

@dhamrick100 And shows like American pickers too . Two guys already well off in the money business . Have now turned every barn full of junk into it's got to be worth a million . I run into that all the time now and its not much fun to deal with it . I did lots of picking and made some money not much trust me but now forget it .... Ever since that show got on the air its really not easy to find good stuff anymore . No sleepers around anymore . Just what the family's don't want .

@dhamrick100 I had a 57 post I picked it up for $ 500 in 1989 the car was a basket case and held on to it until 1991 . But was all there less the seat's and door panels .But the rest was all there and very very little rust . It was a Tennessee car and some one had started the work and gave up . My father had a pole barn and would never let me park it there and work on it . That still ticks me off to this day . He did the same thing with a Packard I had a 55 clipper .

@stutzman2 have you ever owned a hardtop,its nearly impossible to eliminate the window rattle, if that car is as pristine and untouched as it looks, 10k would be a fair price if someone really wanted one,look at some classifieds, people are asking more than that for cars that I used to classifie as parts grade cars.

[dhamrick100]

@Rebelx1969 watch craigslist, you can find some pretty good tri 5s for a decent price, if I had only kept all my 55-57 cars, 20 years ago you could by a real decent car for in the hundreds,all I got left of those models is a 57 210 post, gotta get on it and some of the others one of these days, restorataions parts are just so damn expensive, and the barrett jackson auction makes people think junk is gold.

I looked at a 56 a few years back the guy that had it was "OUT OF HIS MIND" he also wanted 10,000 for a car that grant it had not been driven since 1962 when it was T Boned by a caddy . The frame was bent and needed a rack and whole passenger side quarter door and fender and rocker and floor pans to boot . And it was an inline six long seized up . He still has the car and now wants 12,000 for it telling its worth more since it's older now .

parked in it's "TOMB" not "TOOM"
