The answer is, 'it depends'.
Is the car in Arizona (dry) or Ohio (wet and
soggy) ? Has the car been sitting on a dirt floor or concrete ? Is the roof
caved in ? Glass broken ? Has water gotten into the engine and rusted the
cylinders ? You should visit the car and take lots of pictures. Then determine
the value.

Subject: [FWDLK] '59 Custom Royale
value?
Hi all,
A buddy asked me to come with him this weekend to look over a '59 Dodge
Custom Royale he found in a barn...unfortunately a collapsed barn. I
don't know much about that model but in the pic I can see it is a 2 door
hardtop stuck in under those beams. What does the daughter of the late owner
want for this car that has sat in that barn since 1970 (yes 43 years since
being on the road)? Well now that someone is actually interested, she is
"going to research it". I'm sure she will find one that got bid to
$40,000 or something at a TV auction, so of course hers must be at least worth
$20,000. I told him that IF he did decide to try to go for it, to offer
$500 and explain that it is a car that will need extensive time to just remove
the barn from around it, then several thousand dollars of investment just to
be able to drive around his driveway, and otherwise wish her good luck.
But, any list members have a different idea on the
value?
