    57 Chevy convertible definitely worth dragging out if only for parts

    Sure does look like a '57 Chevy convertible to me too. I see at least part of the top mechanism there, as well as the windshield "hoop" with some moldings on it, and maybe part of the bootwell too. A lot of value just laying there.

    It's a 57 Chevy convertible, been there since late 70s. Couldn't believe it when I saw it.

    In the day, the wrecking yards would flip the good engines upside down. This would keep water out and guarantee oil coating all important internals. ...
