Dodge : Other Royal

Available here is this 56 dodge royal.  This is a true barn find car.  This dodge has been sitting in the barn since the early 80's ( last time it was driven in a parade). The car has been in the family since the early 60's. The mileage of 82949 is original.  It was a daily driver until the early 70's when it was retired to a parade here and there.  It is a solid car.  I photographed it as it sits on 11/2/14.  
Here is what we know about the car as it sits.  It appears to be very solid. No real visual rust issues showing.  The tires are flat and the brakes are temporarily froze.  The battery was removed prior to storage.  The last time the car was driven it was running a little ruff I'm told because of the carborator.  The carb was removed and rebuilt and never reinstalled ( stored in a dry dust free setting).  We believe the car will run great once reinstalled as it always did I'm told.  I am the grandchild of the deceased owners.  I rode in this car in parades when I was in my pre teens in the 70's.  I recently moved out on the family farm and am not over mechanically inclined so we decided to offer it to someone else who wants to bring it back to its glory days.  It has a push button power flyte automatic tranny which was also working well at the time it was last parked.
I'm going to restore the barn for use for some livestock so we need it out.  I'm going to pull it out of the barn and rinse it off.  I'll fill the tires with air . if they hold it and make a reasonable attempt to free up the brakes.  Short of that you are buying the car as you see it.  The interior is in fairly decent shape.  A few mice holes in the head liner etc.
We have an offer on the table from a local restorer but are going to list it here for 5 days as we don't know the value.  My research indicates the buy it now price is about the base for the cars value as it sits but again were not sure.  If it does not sell after day 5 it will sell to the highest offer.  We may accept an offer made here prior to the 5 days if we feel it is fair.  We will assist in loading or shipping but shipping arrangements must be made by the buyer and any costs associated with this such as tires . or brake repairs needed will be the buyers responsibility.
I'll try to post some washed off photos if I get it out of the barn before the auction ends.  I'm affraid after I wash it we might think the asking price is to low :-). Please feel free to ask questions.  We have a clean . clear Minnesota title and the keys.
Thanks for viewing.
