Pretty car. Value hugely reliant on originality and who worked on it. Stoddard is a good source for parts but is likely not the best Speedster restorer in the country. The price would be appropriate for a car restored by Newton in CT or Wilhoit in CA and would need to have all its original panels and floors, etc. All trim would have to be original, not repro, and have been restored by one of two or three guys. Tool kit would also need to be perfect and all original. It is hard to imagine, from the description and pictures, that this car is worth more than about $300k, being a color change and 25 year old Stoddard restoration. Also, the 58 is more valuable than the 57.
