Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest concern. Thoroughly check the floors, trunk pan, rocker panels, and the lower edges of doors and fenders.
- The 'Stovebolt' 6-cylinder is robust, but look for excessive smoke on startup, which indicates worn valve seals, and listen for knocking from the bottom end.
- Many of these cars used a vacuum-assisted shifter. Check for proper operation, as they can be finicky and are often converted to a fully mechanical linkage.
- Exterior trim and chrome parts can be difficult and expensive to source. Ensure all the stainless and chrome pieces are present and in good condition.
Prices range from $500 for project cars to $92,500 for high-quality restorations and custom builds.
