58 Pontiac found and rescued
Permalink  

Hey guys,heres the latest addition to the herd.Its 100% complete a bit rough in spots but not bad for a car sitting on the grass for 10 years.I saw the add on craigslist,it had no pics just a short line but being a 58 pontiac they dont come up often especially at $500.So I took the drive out to Abbotsford for a look.It s all there,and has the original 6 cyl standard,the owner said it ran about 2 years ago so maybe ill even get it running.One rare item I spotted was the wonderbar radio,dont think ive ever seen one in a 58 pontiac before,and a pair of fender skirts,probably aftermarket but still there.Not sure on what will be the fate of this beast,probably a parts car as Im trying to get a 58 2dr sedan off a freind of mine and it needs some parts that this one can help with,well another one saved from the scrap yard.

Man, I'd sure like to see those 69's! I wonder if it's the 2+2 with the 427.. Any idea where he moved to?

That's what happens after a long time exposed to the sun. The "endura" breaks down and the paint flakes off. That's why good ones sell for $350 and up on Ebay.

Certainly isn't a colour combo you'd expect to see! 

I imagine back then you could probably order just about any combo you wanted, even if it wasn't what most people would choose.  Apparently there was at least one Mopar running around in the sixties that was green with red interior from the factory!

I've also heard stories where whomever ordered dealer stock checked off the wrong box on the order sheet and were surprised to see what arrived on the truck....

Any pics of it all cleaned up?

WOW ! Thats a great find. What are you doing with the car ? If you are parting any of it out, I would definatly be interested in some of the chrome trim pieces on the front end.

Love the Chevy C50 or C60 in the background behind the '69 2+2. Started my commercial driving career in one of those. Power steering and AM radio - I was in tall cotton, as we say here, in the South.
