**** DO NOT contact me if you work for a private marketing firm or are offering any other method of "helping" me sell my car. I am NOT interested in making people pay money to a third party in a private sale ****
Reason for selling: Times are tough. My father (mostly) restored this car, and passed it down to me when he died. It's very sentimental to me, however, I feel that I do not have the time or know-how to finish the restoration, therefore it should go to somebody who can treat it well and fully appreciate it.
Details: The car runs and drives. It mostly needs a cleaning-up, some new hoses and small parts (such as a new gas pedal, windshield wiper, etc.) 5.7L (350 cu in) V8 engine, runs fine. Original transmission. 5 hub caps included. Body is in good condition, just needs a bath (you can see some dirt in the photos). Some very light rust in the wheel wells, but nothing problematic. Interior is in great condition. No rust or scrapes, just a bit dusty. (Wiring is all working in the car. Loose wires in photos look to be for a toggle switch my dad was putting in. Not sure why). Wheels are original, as far as I know. Overall, the car is in good shape, and is in the final stages of its restoration.
***The reason the speedometer and odometer are in Miles is because Canada didn't make the switch to Metrication until the mid-1970's.***
Facts: It's a 1958, which is the last year they were made (1953-1958). They were manufactured and sold ONLY in Canada. Most models were made with four doors, or in station wagon styles. The 2-door models aren't quite as common.
I don't think the wheels are original and thats a lot of money for that car IMHO.
