Another yellow 51 comes out of the woodwork! In Sioux Falls South Dakota this time. There are 3 nearly identical 51’s currently on E-Bay.

The one in Sioux Falls,I think it’s the best of the three. Has a full pressure 235 but still has the powerglide. It look mostly correct. Wheels need pin striping, steering wheel is cracked, hood ornament is a 54, engine painted wrong color.
The seller is a Chevy dealer and has a lot of classics for sale, here’s the website:

The one in Oregon is also a powerglide with a 1958 engine. Original wheels and hubcaps are long gone. It's also priced at $40,000 and was bid to $35,000 in September.
What ate the odds...rare car and three to pick from.
