It cost around 6k to buy my car and get it back on the road. I'm probably up to 7K now and with paint chrome and interior I am afraid I will also be right there around 20K. It doesn't matter so much to me since I intend to keep the car until they plant me. So far the '59 on e-bay is a heck of a bargain. Steve B.
