$10500? Looks to be worth about $5000
I was just getting ready to post this too. Its interesting. Never seen a back seat factory deleted car but maybe a purpose bought race car.
We all know that if it were a 348-409 factory car it would be astronomical.
Seen some pretty fast 6 cylinder 2dr sedans at Meltdown Drags 2018. They were 4 speeds though.Especially with that 6 cylinder
Tom, didn't you buy a 62 with those slot mags on it?

There were built for sales people that carried inventory or samples with them. No need for a back seat, when it wasn't going to be used. It was all about utilitarian purposed use, and at the least cost. They were very popular in the late 40's & 50's, but were losing favor in the 60's. By the 60's, the salesman on the road wanted more creature comforts, such as a radio, heat & air conditioning, etc..
You beat me to it Don.might be a fleetmaster, no back seat and only driver side visor much like Butches car
Does a Fleetmaster have a cowl number I.D.?
I was going to mention the windows not rolling down. I would image that those parts are hens teeth to find. Not sure if the panels on the fleet master rear seat area are original but if they are someone needs to make some patterns.
Not really if they're anything like the more common 55/56 Chevys. Just no mechanisim, different(shape) cut on the glass and cheesy thin metal brackets to hold the glass in place, and full rubber seals much like a windshield rubber.
So he would order the lower trim to class it up a bit then he wouldn't look like the tax man. 
You just came up with the perfect drag car name for this car (should it get bought and turned into a drag car). "TAX MAN"So he would order the lower trim to class it up a bit then he wouldn't look like the tax man.
What is a Fleetmaster RPO# and Cowl# code?
