Barn find - can’t get in Neutral

No way I could sell that car after I acquired it. It’s just too kool!
I hear you, but my folks have a car hoarding issue and I need to help them downsize and the 1959 Chevy is the one I want to keep.

Sadly my brother has zero interest in cars and lives out if the country. What this really means is I need a new house with a giant garage :D
 
1200 miles later, the Plymouth is home in Colorado. Tomorrow it will get a thorough wash and we will figure out how to get it up unto the garage

I hope you keep it in the family. That is really unique car!, I would love to see it my garage right between my 300 and wifes Rumble Bee.
 
I would just like to add that that is a stunning foto of the kids behind the car. I love it! In 50 years they will all remember the time and place and you fondly. It will be a cherished image in the family. I have pictures of my grandma and grampa and my 14 year old dad standing next to papas 36 Caddy, and I have picture of me standing next to my dad and his 63 Buick, all on my mantle. Cheers and good luck!
 
Once it’s up and running, we’ll probably sell it and move on to the next forgotten classic stashed at my parents’ place that hasn’t seen the road in decades.
Just thinking out loud here.... Since there's a few guys that are expressing interest in the car right now, if it were me, I'd wash it, think about what it's worth and see if it sells without any work. It will let you get to the next ones earlier too.

It looks like a great car!

I have no idea of the value yet. Other than the Hagerty pricing guide, I can't find enough comparable cars even to understand where to baseline my pricing strategy. As it sits, it's in the top of #4 condition, but maybe it's closer to the bottom end #3 condition?

I just looked at one on hemmings, 2 tone blue 2 door, not perfect, not bad, but has a 383 with cross ram manifold, dont believe factory. Has 15"chevy wheels, asking $22,000. Id rather have yours!
 
I'd love to have it as well. While they may not be the "it" car, a green one was in hot rod magazine this year and drove power tour so the body style currently has some visibility
