Guess I missed that!!!! Maybe a 4 dr. hardtop Bel Air with a Fuelie, continental kit, and every other option available.

1 of them that I saw, sold for $25.5K it was a red and white '57 4dr. I don't know what trim package it was, cause I didn't pay attn to that. really, very nicely done, had a 350/ TH350. red and white matching vinyl interior. Tag said $25,500 firm, then it was crossed out, w/ sold written next to it.

at a diffrent show there was a concourse quality restoration '57 4dr H/T Bel Air that went for $37k


maby in relation tho, to normal cars, the prices of these 4dr's is a fair price. I mean, if you put Tri 5 chevy in an ad for anything, the price instantly goes up, so possibly the concourse '57 could have brought $50-$100k if it was a 2dr H/T, in relation, $37k seems like a lot, but given market value of tri 5 Chevy's, $20-$50k might be fair market value for a quality 4dr tri 5???

The 210 Hardtop is pretty rare. Most 210s were "posts". I flamed a 210 hardtop recently, and got a close look at it. Compared to a Bel Air 2-door hardtop I had in '67, I think the trim at the top of the fin was shorter, and the stainless trim below the side windows was not there.

The top rear fender trim was like this blue sedan....and the dark red car IS a 210, but has had the rear fender insert added by the present owner. You will notice they also don't have the little louver trim pieces on the front fender.

....and you thought you couldn't learn anything on this site! :-)

those cars are worth that much because of bullsh*t reasons. IMHO. barret jackson syndrome nuff said

I don't care what the reasons are but as long as people are willing to pay those prices, others are willing to build them the cars!!!! A lot of the cars selling for $30K-$50K probably have more then that spent on the build!!!! Unbelievable amount of hours go into a build on a car that brings the big $$$$$ at some of the bigger auctions!!!!! Fit, finish, and detail is light years ahead of the average car on the street. Others are just plain rare, and some just have two guys with lots of $$$$$ that are determined to take that particular car home!!!!!

..............................................

It is a 2 door no post, The old man that owns it still won't part with it even after I offered cash. He may want me to restore. He needs to clean a bunch of stuff out of his barn. I fell into this because he had 4.3 V6 with 5 speed transaxle I needed. Will update with more pictures when he get the barn cleaned and can get to more than the front end.

i have a few " hundred " shots i can post here rather than start another thread

Anyone who didn't know that was a 57 Chevy from that 1st picture needs to have their car guy card revoked...........................at least their Chevy guy card.

Too bad you couldn't score it..........at least you may be able to save it.
