1953 Chevy Full Custom by Skoty Chops (chopped, channeled and bagged)

1953 Chevrolet Chevy 150

This car was professionally appraised less than 60 days ago by a professional appraiser (Best in Show AKA BIS) at a retail value of $85K
Here are the photos from the the appraisalphotos:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xdyRmibC6PXFEVwsk3w9Gy5JUyZvG2h7?usp=sharing
This car is a driver -- it has some "character flaws" but the overall quality is great/amazing but not flawless. It is sold "as is" and no warranty on the car. The engine has a warranty from blueprint motors for ~30K miles (professionally installed in late May.) I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason.
It has not been to a lot of shows but it has won best custom at Capitola Car Show, Sponsor's Choice at Custom Capital and Staff Pick at Goodguys Custom Nationals -- all in 2019.

The car's door poppers are installed but need to be adjusted as the interior door panel doesn't allow for the metal rod to move -- it needs to be changed to a wire/cable. I have not done as I love driving the car and didn't want to take it back to an interior shop, to take it to a fabricator to take it back to the interior shop. It is not a lot of work nor is it an expensive fix I just don't have time and prefer driving the car than chasing a small fix that doesn't bother me. There are a several other small fixes needed -- like every custom/classic car but nothing that keeps you from driving around town or long road trips. Another example: the stereo knob is missing on a stereo that doesn't work because there is a Bluetooth system. After building the car for 3+ years -- I just wanted to drive it. Now I have too many classic cars and two old daily drivers and no space. So I am selling it to buy a new car for a daily driver -- that's the only reason. The price reduction from the appraised 85K reflects the fact I know about some small issues and don't want to bicker or deal with someone who thinks its a trailer queen or that they are the next richard rawlings and can "steal" the car at half the listed rate.
I live in Northern CA and if you asked me to drive to LA in the car today--I wouldn't think twice about it. Its a blast to drive.
