1958 CHEVROLET BISCAYNE RESTO-MOD!?!! This is a rare beauty. The 58 was a 1 year generation so this body in its condition is VERY hard to find. Only a little over 94,000 ORIGINAL miles on the body. About 11,000 miles on the rebuild. Less than 300 miles on the transmission. The paint and chrome arent perfect but as far as I know, theyre original and from a distance, look flawless. There appears to be a couple scratches that have been touched up with paint by a previous owner but theyre not very obtrusive. There is a very slow and minor a/c leak. Ive only had to add a little 134a once the whole time Ive owned it. Its blows Ice cold and is reliable and consistent. All maintenance is current. Vehicle is fully legal, reliable and runs strong. Ive used nothing but Premium gas in it since Ive had it with the occasional gas/fuel system treatment added. Specs: Engine: 5.7 Chevy Vortec TBI Transmission: Fresh Performance Turbo 350 with quick shift from Jegs. Factory A/C: Has been converted to 134A and works great. Brakes: Disc brakes on the front and drum on the rear. New Bushings, Progressive Springs, Front Disc Brakes, sway-bar, Kenwood Stereo with handsfree, 373 G2 gears, Flowmaster exhaust, and a whole lot more.
