One 58 I had looked at a couple years ago has come on the market. It is a 58, White ext, blue interior car. a/c, non pwr window car, with color matched shag carpet from the 70's 
. The owner is in the hospital and his kids are cleaning up his place, everything is for sale....
Anyway, transmission is in the garage and so is a mtr that the kid was told is a 352 the dad bought somewhere. Very straight car way nicer than mine, asked him what he wants for it... told "9,500 and have been offered 7,000 for it".. I think he is way high on price? Left him a card. I was thinking it might be worth 3,000?
GF told me to go look at a 65 sitting on the side of the road, she said it was burgandy with a black top, so I head that way, come around the corner and find a 66 sitting on the side of the road, but it is a red with white painted top car, for 8,500, actually a very nice car. Call her and say, um, it's red... well, different car, go find the other one, and it's real rough. Burgandy, with black vinyl landau with black interior, needs paint, top, interior, lady says it might run, doesn't know, has driven it in 15 years. Ask her what she wants, "$7,500 and I won't be bargined with or diker on the price..."
Tell my dad about them and he says, I saw a Black one with a sale sign in it... drive over there with him and sure enough there sits a 59, skirts, powerwindow, black interior not to bad, does have a motor in it. Look under the hood and the engine bay is a greenish silver color. It is sitting along the freeway by a body shop with two guys there, go and talk with them, told well, an old lady owns it, it has sat here for at least two years and they think it is now a "make an offer" car. It's in better shape than my 59, think I am going to call the body shop on Monday. Thought I would feel them out but was thinking maybe offer 1,000, 1,500?
Didn't think to take photos of any but the white one.
or get the data plate off the 59.
