Hi. I'm Very new here and I have an insane question.
What would someone pay for a 1959 Cadillac Superior hearse?
I HAVE one that I keep getting offers on, the latest being a trade for a 1986 Corvette. I LOVE my hearse but haven't been able to Keep it up, It's been sitting for a few years.
My little "GOSTBUS" (License plate) Is still in pretty good shape, it needs new paint and some reupholstering again. The engine is a 390, and should run fine once we put a new battery in it. Needs new tires too. Has some rust issues of course, It seems all hearses get this problem around the door seals. WE bought this car for $50! And drove it home, then proceeded to paint, reupholster. Dad replaced the motor. And it needed a new (bullet hole-less) windshield ($500!) but everything else is original and in working order.
I've always been told it's such a rare car. I've co-owned it with my dad for 20 years now and I'd hate to see to see it rust away, My dad is thinking the corvette deal might be a good one. If I have to finally let it go though I really want it to go to an enthusiast though, some one who really knows its worth. Does anyone have any advice? Any Knowledge about what this model of car is going for now days? I'm just starting to research this on the web and I've fallen out of the loop on such things. Would it be more worth it to fix it up again instead? I really want to keep it but think it might be better off elsewhere.
