Not mine.  I have not personal interest in the sale of this 1957 Chrysler.

I don't think that is a bad deal.   Prices were much stronger 10-20 years ago on these.

 

I guess the devil will be in the details when you wash off the dust.  The steering wheel gives me pause - but it could just be your usual cooked desert interior.

Sometimes rare and desirable don't mean the same thing. Wish them the best with their sale.

I would love to own it but like so many way out of my budget

Dream car for me but not this one.

This car was on Ebay for weeks at this price.

IMO if the car hasn't been started in many years it's hardly ready for the final restoration touches. Getting that thing driveable (engine, transmission, brakes, fuel system, exhaust, AC, electricals, steering wheel, etc.) could mean many issues to address. Desirable car with too many loose ends. Pics show that the windshield & backlite trim need installed along with the wipers & mirrors. Seller says the car is "all original and complete but there may be some missing pieces." This sounds like a flip to me.

You’re probably right.

 

Things are never as good as they seem. But this is actually rare and desirable.
