Location: Florida | Driving though US1 in Bunnell Florida (north of Daytona Beach) I saw this '57 Firedome and took the attached pics.
The car had no engine or transmission and was in overall poor condition. It is precariously balanced over a steel tank which has bright orange koi and is marked "Danger - Alligator".
I don't know anything more about it, other than it is there for parts or whole. You can contact the wrecking yard directly at 386-437-2163, wwwjohnsfamousautoparts.com.
In 2018, I believe I saw this car for sale on Craigslist near Lakeland, FL but the pics on that ad were blurred, but I recall the car was a black four-door Firedome or Fireflite.
