P.S. With the position of the weeds, I know EXACTLY where that car is located :happydrinkers: Keep us posted!! Title: Re: 1957 Chevy in the weeds Post by: MoonDawg on April 01, 2012, 08:25:33 am Well in the meantime, it sure makes a nice lawn ornament :biggrin:
Title: Re: 1957 Chevy in the weeds Post by: Ezra on April 01, 2012, 06:07:58 pm He wants $5000 for it and it has no engine or trans and the interior is gone. What do think?

I love the tri-fives, and a BelAir is still on my bucket list, and a Nomad or sedan delivery if I ever hit the lottery, but 5 g for a shell is too much It's sunk, so there could be issues with a rotted frame, and floor boards, it didn't sink that low in a few weeks Title: Re: 1957 Chevy in the weeds Post by: mznb1u on April 01, 2012, 07:56:37 pm Not a car guy but that seems like a lot to me for the shell of a vehicle.

Title: Re: 1957 Chevy in the weeds Post by: Ezra on April 01, 2012, 08:23:55 pm I talked with a close friend, he said it would take an easy 35k to 40k to restore and it only be worth about 40k to 50k. Very easy to go overbudget. If it was in much better shape it would be a different story.
