opinion...57 belair
 

I looked at a 57 belair today , paint & body looks wise I would say 8 out of 10..... chrome same, interior restored looks great. the rub is this, powertrain is not period correct. great looking hotrod, it is what im looking for. it is not a true pure resto. any guess on what it would be worth. Im thinking 15-17 k....what you guys think. I havent given it the fine tooth rust check yet ,but will not make it a low ball issue just a go no factor after negotiation of price

non matching number 57 are selling in that price range, just look closely at the rockers and frame mounts...

An 8 out of 10 is a nice local show car,BUT until you get under it with a flashlight,you could be missing rust that means the value changes.Otherwise you may have a car worth in the mid 20's on a good day. fishmanjoe :cry:

There is one here in Oregon by my work that was at 20K. It is a restored 57 2dr post. I would say the body is a 7 (its painted black). The car is now at 17.5K & still there. Good int, SBC/4spd, decent car, but they should have done a little more fine body work prior to painting it black. Good luck!!

Thanks guys for your input. seems Im pretty close in thinking what its worth. local guy has had this car for sale for a while at 23K. Its a nice driver. lets see how it goes :wink:

Mild 355, heat ,no a/c stock suspension, disc brakes.not a frame off resto.[/b]

well..he's not budging off of 23K,been for sale for a while.

keep looking then...
