    Not if I could beat you to it !!!!

    What a highly optioned car for '58. Hate to admit it but I like the black cars better than my white one. Wasn't the correct color Tuxedo black - not Mason black?

    I'm not much on the chrome accents though - might leave the chrome power dome accent.

      They should wait till the springs settle down to sell it. I don't trust anybody sellin a fine motor car. To much suger. Looks good in the pictures though

          but the price is unrealistic in today's market. Mike

            Same here. I don´t think it´s overpriced. Looks super solid.

              Anders,

              It's not the 40K for the car but the extra $$$ to fly you over to check it out to make sure the suspension is done correctly. Us mere leaf spring mortals could be "taken for a ride" without your expertise in that area.

              It is only missing a couple of "Major" options as I see it.

                Jim the "Elvira" option would only get me in trouble with my wife. Considering there were only about 2800 58 converts produced the price is not too far out of line providing it is done correct and bought by a true collector. Mike you should go for it and then you would have " his and hers " Raven blacks

                  Nice looking car. I don't know what cars are worth anymore.

                  I'm bothered by picture #29.The mismatched screws on the radio/AC panel make me wonder how "meticulously" the restoration was done. Not that I've never done that, but I didn't pass it off as meticulously either.
