This car is 100% original; body tag photo shows "1800" series, (V-8). "955" series (Two Tone Paint). Photos show car when found, and present day on the trailer in our storage facility.
This car did have rust in the trunk pan when purchased. The trunk pan has been professionally replaced. The new floor boards are in the boxes pictured in the trunk. The car still has rust in the floor pans, the driver's kick panel, and in the top of the driver's side rocker panel under the door sill plate. The right rear quarter panel was professionally replaced due to being damaged, (see below).
History: The car was owned by the original owner who left it to his brother to satisfy a debt over 35 years ago. The car was stored in a barn in East Texas for 22 years. Then, it was moved outside. It spent the last 13 years outside. The left rear quarter panel was side-swiped at some point by a tractor. We bought the car from the third owner. The car had no brakes, no emergency brake and no driveshaft. The front glass was cracked and there was no ignition or keys. The motor turned freely but it was not running. We got the original motor running; (which runs perfect), and we purchased all the parts to get her mechanically sound and complete from Auto City Classics in MN. The original 2-BBL carb was rebuilt by King Carbs of Florida. It still retains it's original build number on the carb body.
Additional Parts that will go with the car for the posted sale price: We have also purchased a date-stamped (late '57 October) running 283 4-BBL motor, complete from oil pan to oil bath 4-BBL air cleaner, and a spare Powerglide transmission that came out of a 1958 4-door that was being parted out. All of the spare parts, motor and transmission will go with the car at the time of sale. The additional parts you see pictured will also go with the car. They consist of a complete, restored, immaculate grill and turn signal lense bezzle front grill with down draft panels as shown, an emergency brake cable assembly, complete from pedal to cable ends, a near pristine right rear quarter panel, steering linkage, spare drive line components and spindles. All of these parts were obtained during our search for parts to make our car complete. The 4-BBL 283 that goes with the car has had a compression check. The low was 120 and the high was 124. The motor runs perfectly and has the ORIGINAL carb on it. Mileage on the odometer of the parts car when we pulled the motor & transmission was 82,300.
Our '58 is a registered, running, driving car. She has two sets of keys, all the door locks and trunk lock match and work as designed. She is in a climate controlled storage facility. The car does need a full restoration. The pictures show most of the details, but for clarification and full disclosure I am listing the following information:
The interior has been removed. The seats remain installed. The original Two-tone door panels were rotted out and retaining moisture. The carpeting was virtually falling apart. The headliner was virtually gone out of the car, but all the top bows remain. The original front glass, rear seal glass, and passenger door glass, have all been professionally replaced. The mileage on the car is original, 63,237 miles. The doors open and close as new, without one milimeter of sag. The rubber door seal that clips into the doors, all the way around, and weather stripping was also removed because it was rotted away. The windshield posts are free of rot and were professionally cleaned out, treated and the new seals installed when the glass was replaced. The rear glass seal was given the same treatment. Photographs are available of the channels in the body at these locations.
In short, we have done right by our car, with the intent to get her painted, inside and out, and keep her what she is, a numbers matching 1800 series 955 Original 2-door sedan. But, on our retirement budget, it is simply not possible to continue to do what is necessary, properly, to continue our efforts to bring the car back to her former glory. We will take any additional photos of the car that you require. We are also considering selling our diamond plate, steel decked, Big Tex trailer with Warn 8,000 lb winch with the car at the time of sale for an additional $2450.00. The trailer has 3500 lb axles, electric brakes, stow ramps made of 1/4" 2x2 plate steel, with side-slip storage, full size spare with mount and all LED lighting.
We are located 55 minutes NE of Austin, 9 miles East of Fort Hood, Texas, 45 minutes South of Waco, in Central Texas. The car, fully restored, is worth in excess of $44,000.00. We are not interested in negotiating much off our price. Thanks for your interest.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month
Thu, May 1 2014And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.

Nissan sells 3,117 Leaf EVs in May, climbs over 3,000 for first time ever
Tue, Jun 3 2014Chalk up a big win for the Nissan Leaf. In May, the world's most popular electric vehicle sold a record 3,117 units, the first time any pure electric vehicle has sold over 3,000 units in a month in the US (unless Tesla managed that feat but rolled the number into a quarterly report). This marks the 15th month in a row of record Leaf sales and the seventh where the Leaf was the top EV seller in the US. The challenge bar is set for someone to step up to compete with this all-electric wunderkind. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, in August 2013. The Leaf's one long-standing competitor, of a sort, is the Chevy Volt, which used to regularly outsell the Leaf but moved only 1,684 units in May. That's still an increase of 4.8 percent over 2013 but is part of a 4.5 percent decline in year-to-date Volt sales for 2014 compared to last year. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was October 2013. Chevrolet did sell over 3,000 Volts once, when it moved 3,351 in August 2013. Let's take another look at those 3,117 Leafs sold last month. They represent a 45.8 percent increase over May 2013, when 2,138 Leaf EVs were sold, so someone is doing something right in Japan and Tennessee. So far, Leaf sales in the US are up 36.4 percent year-to-date, to 10,389 EVs. That's just under half of the 2013 total, and it was accomplished in five months. In 2013, Nissan sold a total of 22,610 Leafs. Anyone want to hazard a guess where the total will be at the end of the year? As always, we'll have our detailed monthly sales write-up including other plug-in vehicles as well as hybrids and diesel car, up soon. For now, though, the big news is big Leaf sales. Read Nissan's press release below. Nissan Group reports May 2014 U.S. sales May 2014 May 2013 % Change Nissan Group Total sales (units) 135,934 114,457 +18.8 Nissan Division May sales 125,558 106,558 +17.8 Infiniti May sales* 10,376 7,899 +31.4 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan Group today announced total U.S. sales for May 2014 of 135,934 units, an increase of 18.8 percent over the prior year and a May record. Nissan highlights: Nissan Division set a May record at 125,558 sales in the month, an increase of 17.8 percent. This marks a monthly record for Nissan division in 14 of the last 15 months. May was the best-ever month for Nissan LEAF with 3,117 sales, an increase of 45.8 percent over the prior year. In May, LEAF passed 50,000 total U.S. sales since launch, further establishing it as the leader among electric vehicles.
