In the Midwest a 4 door car in that shape is going to bring about the 900 in 5900. I think Cnut has a 57 4 door that is about 10 times better than this one and at one time I thought he put a price on it.

I bought the pretty solid but banged up 4-door 56 for $600 with the 6-cylinder, 3-speed OD, nice seamless frame, and interior intact....I think it would be drivable but ugly. It's going to be a parts car. There's no way that car's worth $5900 with all that rust. I have a really nice rust-free roof that could be grafted on, but there's a lot more than that to do.

If you're looking for a 57 4-door, I have a really nice one for sale....kind of a "barn find" I bought several years ago to sell but have pretty much forgotten about it. It's an Arizona car built in CA (Oakland) with virtually zero rust except for some very small bulges in the lower fenders that are an easy fix. It's a 210 sedan with a 283 Power Pack engine and it has a seamless frame, 3-speed on the column, and only shows around 50K miles on the odometer which the owner told me was close to actual (speedo doesn't work). The guy I bought it from says he may have driven it 5000 miles in 20+ years while living in AZ (he's dead now). It runs and drives (we drove it to where it is now) and only needs some minor stuff to be really nice. I have a title and the vin and everything else is intact. I have lots more pics if interested. But it's going to be a lot more than $5900, probably somewhere in the $15-20K range as-is. That's what I've seen for cars like this lately since prices are rising on 4-doors. I plan to clean it up and sell it in the spring...but I've said that for a few years now .

$5900??? For that POS??? Run away as fast as you can Blk63Vette
And start searching on phoenix.craigslist.com or some other cities in AZ to find a nearly rust free survivor to start with. Would be worth the trip across the country with a trailer to get it home and work on it.
Or New Mexico, or west Texas or parts of Oklahoma.
All these states are typically dry and the sheetmetal lasts alot longer.
1957 Nomad- LS1/T56 on C4 chassis
1959 Fleetside Apache 1/2 ton, shortbed, big window, 327ci.
How about a 56? It seems to be a solid car and mostly restored with frame off paint job. Turn key ready.
$12,000 with 19 hours to go on the auction. The price will probably go up, but its always better to buy something like this, then to do it yourself.

That 56 would be worth a lot more $$$$ if it had a few less doors. No way could you build it for what its going for on Ebay.
If it's half as good as it looks in the pics, then it's worth well more than the current bid of $13K.....
$13,351. with less than 25 min to go.
