martyheiden Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Stumbled into widow selling 56 Super. Restored in 2004, Texas Car always. 5k on overhaul of motor and transmission, PW, PS, Power antennae...everything works. Bumpers, grille and port holes redipped. New headliner, carpet and complete Upholestery. Original steering wheel in trunk...owner was big so they used a smaller wheel. Tires 6 years old...cokers. It hasn’t been started in 4 years...what might this car be worth? Vintage air was added as well. All glass perfect. Paint is nice but not ready for high end auction. I wanted to buy a 2 door but this is what I found... Thanks! Marty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Do you have some more photos? Hard to put a value on something without seeing how good the interior is, how is the underside, under the hood etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming: Interior is nice and in correct original upholstery There is no rust-through or major damage The car is assumed to be able to run well with very little effort Engine is original and not modified ...then I'd say $10-12k If you could get in and drive it now and it ran and drove well, add $2k. If any of the above bullet points are not true, deduct accordingly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I posted about it back here: They should bolt the carb back on and see if it runs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
