Tim; The owner should have taken the money and ran with a car like that. Lets see, a 57' imperial with foofnick alterations, needing a new interior (since the current one is wrong), and a more tastefull paint job. Sounds like another $3,500 - $6000 low grade #3 project car to me. $20,000? Get real. You didn't mention what model or body style it was though, that makes a huge difference. By the way, in what body style and condition did the 300s come in? Coupe? Rag top?
