Holy crap. That interior.

I would not give &13.8 if it had a full drive train in it.......

WTF are these guys smoking.

I sold a tri-power set up with rebuilt carbs a long time ago for somewhere around the $100 mark. Amazing how valuable things have gotten.

Man Rusty the episode with the Mighty Car Mods guys was awesome

 

[Super Bee]

Yes for being just a shell and sitting on that roof for all those years.... Can't imagine there is much to work with.

I was kind of surprised they tore the old place down. I knew it was for sale, did not realize they were going to tear it down.

I'll catch it later. I've been waiting for that one!

 

[Trigger Time]

When I'm ready to fix up the two 57 chevys I'm hitting you guys up. Mights sell one to do the other

 

[chocktaw2]

Seen it. That is an old school flame job right there.
Not sure it is worth $1800. More like $300 or $400 tops. It will need "Everything"

I personally know the idiot that has that for sale.

That's not nice to talk about yourself like that.

I have a 57 210 sitting in the garage, waiting for the time, space and money to fix it up. Was supposed to be a quick flip, but life got in the way.

I suppose I would trade it for 64 Impala SS convertible.

Need to tell him we are laughing our butts off.
If he does get that money for it I am out of Hot-Rods..........

This 351 Cleveland stuff is driving me nuts 2v,4v open chamber heads vs closed chamber.
Researching the cam takes some time its not like a SBC you gotta get it right or you have a boat anchor.
oh well at least it won't be a chevelle,nova,camaro!

BTW a plain Nova that looks like it's from 1988 with no drivetrain that's been hit for that kind of money?

 

[RustyHornet]

Dont worry, no matter what you do it'll still be a boat anchor.

 

[RustyHornet]

Does that mean we have a deal?

He gave $1200 for it, cost $600 to get the junk off of the roof.

 

[RustyHornet]

You'll have your shot, so long as mouse lets you. Better get it warmed up.

Yeah that is stupid money for that car.

This is one reason I have never jumped on the Ford hot rod band wagon. It takes a lot of knowledge and effort to get them right.
When they are right you have something. If you miss it then yeah....weld a chain on it.

Dare to be different.

$600 is outer limits on what it is worth. There is nothing there but a shell.

But it's a famous shell! It's gotta be worth lots of money! I saw an auction once!
