51 chevy hardtop

I just bought a 1951 chevy hardtop deluxe and was trying to find out some info on it. I got it for $200.00 . It's been sitting for 11yrs , barn find . I replaced the starter and fire the car up for about a minute or so and shut it off . The guy told me the motor was rebuilt in the early 80s and he had stoped working on it. Not really any rust to be found on the floors, but everything needs to be touched. I like the 53 -54 chevy hardtops and know were there is 2 for sale @ $3500.00 ea . My 51 and his 53s are very close to the same work. I dont know if they would pull about the same money , or if they are about the same in popularty . I'm so for into this car for $ 270.00 I just can't seem to find pics of the 51 ht. thanks for the info

 

Are you looking for build ideas, or just trying to find out what the car's worth?

If it's anything close to what you say, you stole that car!

For pics, go to Google's Image Search. Try different terms, like 1951 Chevrolet Hardtop, 51 BelAir, 51 Chevy HT, etc.
