Looks ok but seller says it has no brakes. If you're the forgetful type, it has a giant '57' stitched into the rear seat to remind you what year your car is every time you look in the mirror. Not enough information to really say if it's worth $17k.

Interesting take on the kick panel - door panel visual interaction. No "57" there. Shocking.

I wonder if I should two tone my ABS kick panels. (Joke?)

Theirs:



Mine in the raw:



But it could be like this, maybe with a "56":

I like the colors on it and I have always really liked the Windsor color sweep.

Spectacular colors! I also love the simplicity of the '57 Windsor trim and clean bumpers.

That interior though...

Looks cheesed out and full of corner cutting and slapped together coverups - no attention to detail whatsoever.

Whoever's prospective needs a fine-toothed comb for this possible bondo bucket.

They all need a magnet during inspection.

However, I can not see how you can suggest any of the above based on the limited photos that were posted by the seller on craigslist. Are there more photos that we could/should see too?

It amazes me that sellers won't go to the trouble of putting in 2-3 hours of cleanup and detailing before listing photos of a car. The steering wheel, for one could easily be made to look 100% better by polishing off the dirt and hazing off the horn bar and ring. Sure, it's pitted some but it could look much better. Lots of other little things could be made to look better with some elbow grease.
