On EBay. Look like a good price to me.

Looks like it would be a fun car, hard to price though with a ZZ4, original diff and a powerglide...

Were power glides an option in '54?

How do you know ?
2 days to go and reserve not met yet...

No. They were mandatory.

Why didnt GM build them this way in the first place??? Now your talking!! My 62 had a ZZ4. Way to go. Dave

Looks like it was done pretty well. Nice driver. Could have restored it with the correct drivetrain for about the same cost though.

Mike Terry

Take out the ZZ4 and the seat belts and put back in the Blue Flame 6 cyl and then it would be a nice car.

I don't know, but I have been poking around other web sites for "asking price" of '54s. The asking price seems to be a lot higher for all I have seen.

I know asking price and sold price can be very different, that is why I am asking for opinions of others.

Mike Terry

The Vert top should be Tan also. If you buy it and want the correct 6 Cyl Blue Flame for it let me know I may be able to get you one. It woud be an easy car to correct and put back original .

Fawndeuce

Has a buy it now at $49,900 Frank, I also missed it the first time.

That's more along the lines of what I would expect.

If I were 'going for it' I think I'd put the motor back to original style.

But - these earliest C1s just don't appeal to me a lot.
Too Buck Rogers looking for my taste.

However, it certainly would be something to have to drive off the fiscal cliff next week.

Would have been tough to do since the 265 V8 wasn't available till 1955.

ALL.... EVERY ONE of the 53's and 54's came with a 2 speed powerglide.

The 3 speed manual wasn't available/offered till late 55.

For about 10K---12K+, you could "convert" it back to a Blue Flame 6 banger with all the goodies.
