But how are you supposed to know what a reasonable offer is?  Compares to that 1953 from Idaho, which has no interest at $1175 after 4 weeks.   Yes 54's are rarer but not worth a premium. 

I do note it appears to be an all white car - no evidence of a another color in the jams.

There was a time when guys would buy cars like these and bring them back east to swap bodies with their rust buckets. Today, shipping costs have pretty much put an end to that. It's too bad because this one deserves to be saved.

At least $1500 just for shipping.

I 100% agree that this one be one to save.  I am not a big 54 restyling fan but they are interesting. 

What is that solenoid thing in the glove box? 

I also do not believe in parting cars out, but aren't those in tact taillamps highly valuable?  I see most 54's these are gone. 

4,110 total 54 Manhattan production (not broken out).  Really curious if this was an all white car.  Note those door jambs have no clues.
