Just like a typical male.. maybe he should finish restoring the ones he already has and sell them if they are so valuable, then that will help pay for the new home. I like the idea of complete one project, before moving on to the next; and men really are not so good at multi tasking..

Brother has a 57 Chevy Nomad Station Wagon in his garage.....beautiful gold color and everything on it is original and it has about 70,000 miles on it....he hasn't spent a thing on it except maintenance. He's turned down a small fortune for it. I say again, buy the Chevy.

Bite your tongue TB. When I built mine, I had the plans and the nail gun.
I hired out the custom cabinets in order to get all wood (and cheaper than the units at the mega building supply houses). Tape, bed and texture was hired. Central air installation was hired. Carpet was hired. Everything else was built EXACTLY like originally intended.
8 years ago I began drawing up plans for the next house. Showed her the plans. She wanted a bigger kitchen, bigger bedrooms, bigger living room, bedrooms for the grandbabies...... Before it was over with, the house was actually bigger than the one we currently live in. Hence, I aint started any farther towards that. The one I am in suits me fine, just too big. I don't need bigger.

My thoughts on this,even if you didn't want it to restore,it would be a great item to turn and make money on at that price. You just ain't gonna find many money making deals like that.

Went and took a look at the car today. just looking.
Body is straight, no waves in the metal. Only place that showed even a hint of rust was in the area where the tail lights are. Someone punched a hole on the side of the tail fin for an antenna. That can be fixed.
The car is almost completely down to bare metal on the outside. Needs some stripping around the door edges and truck edges inside.
It is not a Bel Aire it is a 150.
saw a car just like it tonight but completely restored. Yellow body and a white. That was a sweet looking car.

Don't want to get in a pissin contest but a '57 chevy is the most sought after restorer - ever. For all you Ford lovers out there I suppose you would want to restore a '57 Ford? Sittin' side by side at auction the '57 Chevy will bring $25K to $60K and up. The '57 Ford may fetch $10K - maybe. I don't think even a '57 T-Bird will match the chevy.Sure as heII won't out run it. (Can you imagine - a 312 in a T-Bird being blown off the track by a little 283.) Before you start on me remember, I was there! So don't go tryin' to blow smoke up my skirt.
Given the opportunity I would buy a '57 chevy for a $1000. It would be a good investment. You don't have to start on it now. Put it in the barn covered up and work on it when you have the opportunity. That's your kids college money.
