1956 Bel Air, any opinions please?

Not sure really.
It is nice,not perfect. Pretty up front with people.
Just seem to end up with all the "know it all", "I can get a "perfect" 55 or 57 for $10k, will you take $8k"
Online the prices seem to be all over the place like you say.
If you like it go for it.It doesnt sound over priced.

Jim,
there is enough of a delta on the prices that it is hard to figure out where these are supposed to be, how about a little more info on yours or a link to the posting and some history, for $7k less might be a better pursuit for me. I like the color, is that a black cherry, looks similar to color on my harley, was there alot of body work done or pretty original.
Thanks,
Scott

1st thing, '56's are like most '68 cars...most people walk on by them and if you buy one be prepared for the long haul on it if you want to sell....tri 5's are all over the place dollars wise and have been for years they are really hard to figure out sometimes, a few years back they were hot and the cool toy to have and cost money if you wanted one...what sets most apart from 10K cars to 50K cars is the quality of the resto and what parts were used in the build, go cheap ...the guys that buy them will pick it apart and not want to pay much for the car even a Cal car go big and guys take note of the parts and pay up...overall there really weak right now.

I will say owning a Tri 5 is really fun, you cant take it anywhere without people making a comment on the car especially older couples
