1956 Bel Air, any opinions please?

[daleone3]

I have a former boss that is selling his 1956 Bel Air, Orig CA car, rec'd frame on some years ago but is a very nice car and he is looking to part with it. Very clean and upgraded, repaint some years ago but still very strong presenter. I understand the 55/57 tend to pull stronger numbers but curious to know from the group what fair market would be on a car like this? The car has not really been driven a lot in the past few years, owner also has a harley and an airplane (restored 60's vintage single prop) and he is a very meticulous guy, the 56 is super clean, engine bay is impeccable. The car can be bought for $25k and I still think there is some upside in the car though I would be buying to enjoy it for a while and see what happens

350 crate motor
MSD ignition
Aluminum radiator
(1000 bucks) excellent cooling on hot day
Dragster high torque starter-sounds cool and will start a semi!
PS
Power disc front brakes
Vintage air
350 auto trans
Stock interior. Good shape 9 out of 10
red light crystal on dash- very cool
Drop spindles
Flowmaster exhaust
Rear shocks mounted to frame
Good chrome wheels and tires
Modern stereo radio w/cassette looks stock w/rear speakers
Paint is a 8 out of 10

What does not work:
Quartz stock-looking clock stopped
Gear indicator
Heater switch needs to be replaced


18k miles on frame on resto completed in 1996. Never been in rain or salt

Thank you to the group, I respect the opinions I have gotten here in the past.
