Equipment
216 Stovebolt six, 3-speed, dual Rochester carbs on a McGurn manifold, split exhaust manifold, dual dummy spotlights, skirts, flipper wheel covers, wide whitewalls.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Dull old repaint with chips, scratches and pinstriping signed by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. There also is an original Rat Fink on the glove box door. Dull chrome, sound upholstery, dirty old engine compartment and underbody. A car of little consequence ... except for Big Daddy's embellishment.
Market commentary
Earlier today several early 50's Chevys of little or no distinction sold near or above $30,000. This is a sound car with appropriate period speed equipment and authentic Ed "Big Daddy" Roth pinstriping, and it sold for peanuts. It is incongruous, but the new owner should be proud of the car, the artwork and the modest price paid for it.
