57 Barn find up for auction at Mecum
Estimated between 25-35K, but I bet it will sell for around 45,000.

"Original Patina"....what a mess. It's criminal that people let cars degrade like this. As much as I like '57's (my favorite year), I wouldn't pay even 20k for that car. It needs about 100k in restoration to make it an 80k car. I'll bet it goes high, though....a lot of folks out there with more money/ego than brains.

That *thing* has been around for YEARS in that exact condition. They need to get over themselves, sell it for what it's really worth, and let it get restored.
