Brought another one home today! Story and pics

Don't tell how much you paid, cuz I'll hate you even more. Nice looking car. I have a 56 Chevy 210 2dr hdtp and its nice seeing a tri 5 that isn't a 57 Chevy

 

I don't care what you paid for it just want to congratulate both you two for sticking around for the whole day. That takes determination. Glad it worked out for ya. See ya both in a couple of weeks.

 

Awesome find, Tony - congratulations!! I can't recall ever seeing this car around before. Looking forward to seeing it up close.

Tommy, hope your deal comes through for you, too. If it's the one I think it is, you've been waiting on it for a loooooong time.

 

Oh man what a score. There's a 57 2 door wagon up here for sale right now it's mint the guy wants $13g's for it. I really love 57 ponchos.

 

Tag, we asked the old owner how long he had it and if he ever drove the car.
He said he had it about 18 years, maybe a little longer and drove it very little which is probably why none of us had seen the car.
His wife bought the car for him when they were dating...pretty cool story..

Once i get thing's in order i'll hopefully get it on the road soon.. I have a lot of other stuff going on right now so i don't want to add to the confusion.

And the 'deal' that Tom has IS the one your thinking of i'm sure..
That car belong's with Tom..and i'm crossing my fingers that it all works out for him with it.. it will RULE!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have a trim code book on these thing's? I want to figure out what color the interior was. I checked online and came up with a lot of info, but no trim codes..
The code is 205.

Thanks.

Tony

 

Denise- it would have been perfect with some jello shots and Cadillac Bob hosting the tunes on the radio...I miss you guys!!

Tag- Thats the one holmes....As a matter of fact she is coming over tomorrow with the paper work and all the 'family photos' of the car from when they purchased it new...I'm loosing sleep over it all.......

Tone- i cant stop driving by the house and you know how gas prices are you basturd!!...lol

 

NICE SCORE!!! Neat story ,too. I'll have to snag Tagman some night and stop by to see it.

Bernie

 

Bernie, Tom called me a couple minutes after you left..Man, i thought i was gonna be working on my chevy, not buying a pontiac

You guy's are welcome to stop ANYTIME..just give me a call to make sure i'll be here. I've been spending MAD time over at my buddy's shop working on the other 57....so i'm not here too often lately

Damn, I can't stop looking at the pics. I love it when you find an original in killer shape. The best part about the story is how dirty and your dad stepped up to the plate for you. THAT'S the shit. In our day & age, not many would do that, especially for a pile of metal and rubber. Enjoy the car, friends and family with all you got.
