all the gages are wrong..think motor swap ended cable driven tach..I wouldnt be surprised if this car was a low budget drag racer for a while.

I think this is the '58 I was just reading about in my new Hemmings magazine-

"Gold coves, tan interior. $27.5," at Beverly Hills car club.

Says 350, but I think with that oil fill tube its a 327.

All the gauges are wrong, even the only Corvette one left, which is the speedo from some other year.

When I got my '58, I quickly found out these cars with beat you to death in little parts costs if you try to do it right. This car could be a fun driver if bought cheaply enough, but a restoration would put you straight into red ink.

Right, If you could pick it up for less than 10 gran,
it would be a good candidate fo a rat rod.
Wouldn`t even think about restoring this car.
Peace out.

Later
Tony
