True story (happened yesterday) I have a lawn mowing business and I received a call to give a quote on a lawn. I went over and an older lady, 82 years old was there and we started talking. I got the job and then she asked me if I liked cars? Of course I did and she took me to an old shed in her back yard. There was an original 1957 Chevy in mint condition (ugly color) but what the heck. Anyway she bought it new in 57 and her husband who is now deceased used to take it to car shows. She says its original, I forgot to look at the milage I was so busy running my hand over the perfectly smooth paint and drooling. Any way its a hard top and I would like to but it. The interior is also all original. I also forgot to open the hood and see what engine. I am going back tomorrow and will look at the VIN number. Any help you can give me as to what I should pay would be helpful.

Trunk has original mat and spare tire (still good). Paint under mat is almost like new. I dont think I am going to buy it. But it is a beautiful car. :-) posted:  May 2, 2010   vintagecollector      Oooh.....you lucky dog.... Unfortunately a 4 door with a 6 cylinder can bring down the price a little, but the value of the car could be anywhere between $8,000 to $15,000. posted:  May 3, 2010   bostonbob      nadaguides.com or collectorcarmarket.com has a pricing guide to give you a rough estimate. posted:  May 3, 2010
