"Brown said he plans to spend about $20,000 to restore the old Chevy and change its paint color from red to white."
This below isn't his, but it is a white 1957 Chevy Pickup...
My Father used one of those as the work Truck for his Gas Station. If we knew then what we know now.
Chevy “ Apache”, one of the best tanks I ever owned.
If he has all the skills required to do a restoration himself (body & paint, mechanical, elec, etc.) 20K might be enough for parts. Take it to a shop and the paint job alone will run 5-10K on the low side.
