Default '59 Rare options prices

I'm looking at a '59 fuelly. I've been watching magazine ads, eBay, auctions results, and checking out various value guides. I think I have a reasonable idea of current pricing, but the car I'm looking at has a few rare options: heavy duty suspension, quick steering, and big brakes. Opinions as to what value should be added for these options would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Default 59 fuelie big brake car,

If it is a correct 290hp fuelie, with the COMPLETE big brake package in top flight condition? $125k++ The condition of the car and incorrect items will pull it down from there.

It would be wise to have someone who knows Big Brake and Fuel cars inspect the car for you. You need to make sure it is a real car before you can place a value on it. JMHO

Contact NCRS and find an expert that can verify those options. They are rare and add quite a bit to the value, as has been said.
