Finally got the 57 home. Now where do I start. The previous owner claims the 292 Y-Block has been rebuilt but has never had oil or been started in 2 years. The truck still has a black California license plate with tags from 1987. It is a big back window truck and a custom cab. I think I did pretty good onlt paying $300 for it. It has a little passenger side floor board rust but that appears to be it. The rest of the body is pretty straight.
Holeee sheeeep shiiiiiittt!!!! I'd write you a hot check for twice that amount, right now!!!!! Great score man...
My buddy at work just bought on last nite too.... That isnt primer either its faded seafoam green..He only paid a couple hundred more than Tbucket..
Got one 4 years ago, original 272/3 onthetree. Runs good, needs some minor work and paint. $300 is killer deal, but it looks like alot of work to be done, otherwise you did good. These 57's are getting to be a fun resto or custom.
Damn it! Congrats man, great deal! I have been looking for one for a while now. Most of the ones near me, people think the damn things are minted from pure gold!
DAMN! Good score man! Here are some pics of mine the day I brought it home from the junk yard with no engine or trans and a lean sale title! I paid $500.00!
