    Nice pick up, that's going to be a sweet ride.
     
  7. Buddy has a parts car with some front end parts I don't see on yours, but he thinks it's worth twice what you paid for that. I keep telling him to cut it up, sell some customizer the fins off it, and get rid of it.

    I love the quad headlights on the 57's and then the canted quad headlights from 58 to 60. Here's a couple pics of one of the sickest 57's out there.

    Good buy...I love those cars
     
  26. Did you get the story as to why it was parked for 30 years? Sounds like the engine went sick, and it never got fixed. That's a really cherry body shell for Jersey.
