I enjoy watching 'AMERICAN PICKERS'. Frank and Mike remind me of me many years ago but my focus was usually auto related. Unfortunately, I kept the stuff rather than flipping and making money. It is drama TV so it is only enjoyable to a point. The episode where they bought the two '57s has been discussed before but now one of them is on eBay. They should stay away from cars! So here it is...my armchair opinion. I think the car is a rust bucket. Anything can be fixed but I think one could find a better starter car.

It needs "General Maintenance" Hmmm. I wonder if I can buy some of that on ePay. It looks like it will be a good investment. Ford didn't make many custom 500 cars 57.
That custom job on the spark plug wiring alone is worth a fortune :toothy5:

Both run good enough to load on a trailer. A lot of mud in both those cars but they are running cars.
