WOW really nice looking set of wheels. I like the colors too. The price seems a little high but nonetheless nice example.

Beautiful. I have no idea on value, but seeing prices that a lot of (what I would call junk) cars bring at the auctions I would spend the 80k on this one any day of the week.

I understood that Chevrolet didn’t offer overdrive until 1955(?). 
Adding an overdrive would not be easy because of the torque tube.  
 

Of course a gear vendors could be used, but the Tip Toe matic sounds like a Borg-Warner set up.  
 

maybe someone can elaborate?

No Borg Warner overdrives in torque tube Chevrolets unless someone welded one in. There were Truckstell overdrives for Chevrolet. There aren't many around.

I would love to, all I need is a cool extra 80k in my discretionary fund, LOL.

when I am looking at this going for 80G's I think to myself "what would I be buying?"  In this case I am thinking this is a restored Chevrolet nicely done at that! However it is no Buick, Pontiac or an iconic Ford. Those 3 cars would most likely have 8 cylinders, more amenities and the Buick/Pontiac would offer nicer ride compared to this Chevy. I had posted a beautifully restored 47 Chevy coupe going for 25 grand yet the Buick Super coupe I recently purchased is just a nicer car for less money. Buicks are just that much better of a car.  So are we basing value on the quality of the restoration and not no so much on what the model offers and represents?  I guess it's a combination of both. But for me IMHO this car which is quite nice however it is over priced.

I love how its been kept OEM.  Pretty car!

Just one teensy nitpick.  Its missing the cover plates on top of the radiator core support.  Some mechanic threw them away long ago and the restorer of this car did not know any better.  For $80k if should not be missing something so obvious.   These covers are not hard to fabricate either, I had to make one for my '48
