Wanted '57 Bel Air Hardtop

**southernfriedcj** · #1 03-02-2006, 04:57 AM

I'm looking for a '57 Bel Air Hardtop(no posts) project car. Frame, interior, and running gear not important. I've found 2 locally for $1,500 & $3,000, but they have the usual rust. I'm willing to pay more for a car that has a decently straight and rust free body. $500 finders fee paid for an unadvertised car(I'm not interested in paying for links). I will consider a '55 or '56.

Thanks, Jim

Jim I will have you a Pho. # tomorrow for a guy that does 57 restos here in west Texas. His name is Dickie Jones (The Fin Doctor) He has a whole lot full of these cars he may have something or know where one is. I have several of the 57's but only 2 hardtops and they are not for sell however I may be able to help with some hard to find parts.
