IF it is rust/dent/damage free the paint is in good condition and the interior is in good shape and it runs and drive good it is worth 15-30k I know that is a big price gap but if it is a show quality car it is in the upper end of the price range. If it is more of a hot rod car it is in the lower end of the spectrum unless all of the work is done by a well know car builder thats name is well know though out the car community.

like stated above, your price will vary alot depending on what quality work is done. just the car itself will bring you probably 10K if its rust-free, and any body work done was with minimal bondo.
The market for these old cars is pretty tight, people either want an all original restoration with numbers matching everything, or a full out custom hotrod.
My dad has a fully restored numbers matching 1956 Nomad, and he always says that he enjoys seeing the "hot-rod" 55-57 cars cause it just makes his a bit more valuable...
Just start looking online for cars for sale, or recently sold, see how your car compares and start figuring it out. My dad had an appraiser come to look over his car so he could be properly insured for it. Thats another option.

It depends on what someone is willing to pay and what you are willing to sell it for... As stated above, it depends on rust and body work. If you have to do body work keep the bondo to a minimum and the car will still hold value. If it is full of bondo and body wave then it will not be worth nothing...
I will be willing to say 20k+, these cars are getting hard to find.
