56 Chevy

[RussMS]

Hey Guys:

I may have a contact who know where a non-running 56 Chevy is that the owner may want to part with. I have not seen it yet but I am definately starting to get interested in pursuing this based on what I have heard.

All I know is: It is a 1 owner vehicle that was last run in 1990. The original owner still has it but may be willing to part with it if he can overcome his nostalga.

I have to assume: there is rust (possibly a lot). No tires and possibly wheels. Engine isnt (nor likely would I want to) salvagable. I really had my heart set on a 1st gen Camaro but I am seriously considering pursuing this as a learning car, though as a perfectionist will I likely quit working on it til its perfect.

Questions for you guys. What are the Pros and Cons of this era's vehicles?
What is a good price assuming all the above to be true? Any other thoughts? Thanks for any advice you guys may have.
