What’s it worth. 1955 Chevy bel air . Pics

[Buddy]

Good friend wants to sell this to me for $25000. 1955 Chevy bel air hard top. Restored 2004. 383 , turbo 400. No ac.
Been sitting in garage close to 10 yrs. Still started every yr and oil changed every yr.

2dr bel air,,, more than 25k at todays prices.

Is that mold on the floor passenger floor?

 

[Buddy]

giant dirt and water stain. I pulled up the carpet no mold. Building roof leaked without them noticing for a while, windows were open. I think it will steam clean out. If not carpet replacement looks easy. I’ll post pics of motor tomorrow, forgot to take any. I don’t want to resell it.

Mid west car, I’d be all over it for rust. Interior looks kind of janky. I’ve lost track of tri five values.

 

[SOCALCRICKETT]

It's hard to find a tri five for less than 30k now, let alone a non post car.


I see guys listing 210 post cars for 40k plus all day long

 

[HBCraig]

Yes, change the interior, but this car is worth that price tag. Wait til you see what these go for at Barrett Jackson in scottsdale

Ditto on the interior/wrinkle/not pulled tight.

Older resto, so truly it is more so what does it have for an engine, and overall condition.

25k appears to be a decent deal

 

[bowtiejunkie]

IMO if the body is rust free, I'd think $25k would be a good deal. Used to see '55 Chevy rusty shells on a trailer at Turlock Swap meet trying to get nearly $10k. That was 10+ years ago.

 

[Done-it-again]

25k all day long.

If you don’t want it I got 25k and ill take it.

 

[FreeBird236]

If the engine and trans are decent, it's worth $40,000 all day, minimum.

 

[bonesfab]

If it’s as nice as it looks, 25 is a decent deal. Couldn’t paint the car for 25k now days. Update as you see fit. and I agree on the interior.

$25k is a great price. That could fetch $35k pretty easy. I picked up a 55 last year and I'm always looking at prices.

I have a friend who has a body shop and his friends and family price for my 55 was $20k

 

[Bigbore500r]

As others have said - if the car isn't rusty underneath (or under the bodywork...) 25k is a good deal.
Swap the seat upholstery and clean that carpet, and you've got a a 35k-40k 2dr Bel Air.

It would be pretty easy to get that interior straightened out

Lots of parts available. Buy it! Carpet and seat kits are not too pricey. Get a Chemical Brothers Detail package, orbital buffer, and enjoy!

 

[bowtiejunkie]

Is it just me, the exterior looks like an original orange color but the interior pieces are red?

In any case, the interior would be easy enough to straighten out or replace.

Honestly, being a 55 Chevy is my favorite tri-five and probably favorite car, this would have been in my garage already.

 

[mobldj]

put it on bring a trailer.set your reserve,dont make it wont sell.also search bat for previous 55 sales to give you a guidline

Memories ............. My first real car in my Junior year was a 56' Belair hard top

 

[lakemadness]

Is the car in Indiana?

 

[port austin pirate]

looking at Hemmings, around 30-35 as is if body is solid, redo interior and buff out in 50k range

 

[yz450mm]

How about this one? Could be up for sale, but at minimum my dad is wondering what it's worth?

Dude, that 56 is cool!

Dude, that 56 is cool!

I don't want him to sell it, but driving it today is taking such a huge risk with the amount of assholes racing around out there trying to pass 50 cars at a time.

One of the guys at the boat brokers in Havasu might be interested in that. Worth giving him a call, nice guy but I forgot his name.

 

[bagged97taco]

Nice car. With new carpet, new interior and wheels/tires it will be an even nicer car.
