Sorry, I know the "how much is it worth?" questions are annoying, but I have to ask. I've searched the classifieds to see if I could gather a rough estimate based on the average price, but can't seem to make up my mind on what it's worth.

The car ('57) is rough.

This is what it needs:

Hood
Decklid
Rear apron
front apron
New heater channels
floorpans
all fenders
some patches of inner wheelhouses
at least 1 door
and last but not least...a motor

that is what I could tell just looking at it for about 5 minutes. I'm sure there would be more once you had the car media blasted. This would not complete the car...there would still be small things of course.

Guesstimate on value? Eastern US values...

Pointless question with out at least a few pictures.

I can't get pictures. I've only looked at the car once and it's too far away for me to go back for pics. :(

It's basically a rolling shell with rust all the way around the bottom. Been sitting outside for many years with no cover.

I don't think this one could be had for a deal. Couldn't he part it out for more than 500? How much is the roof with oval, factory radio, steering wheel, dash, gas tank, package tray, etc, worth? Those are the good parts that I can count off the top of my head.

Can't really say. Sounds like a 200-300 dollar car. You might want to think about the $$$$ you will spend to get her running and safe to drive.

Sounds like a better donor car for others on here needing parts...
