I like those too. They had the chrome and swoop of a Caddy but without the moon-like girth.

I've been looking on E-bay for years lol Literally always looking for a solid one all in one piece that runs and drives. They are usually MINT restored and waaaay out of my price range though. She is from Gerogia and was on E-bay I won her yesterday. Winning bid with 10 seconds left. Whew that made me sooo nervous. She has a 318 with a 3 speed manual trans, 3 on the tree

This is the best part of the car hobby. Finding a neat old ride, that the high-dollar guys ignore, but is still so super cool, that everyone will get a smile from it.
Talk about a win-win. I would add some trick Cragar SS mags to it... you know the old school 5 spokes. With a ride that big, I would consider a 16"x8". Really fill in those wheel wells. Would super pop against the red/white two tone. Those would rock. As for the motor, there are some kick-ass 360 based crates available. This is vs cutting up a nice original 318, that is. I would leave it a manual... if the tree gets icky, you can always do a floor conversion, and if the three speed packs it up, get a nice 5 spd for it. But keep the manual. In fact, I would consider the 5spd floor shifter now, and preserve the original 3spd. |

it's a 318 Poly you have to workover a 360 crank to fit this bad boy. Lots of the later 318 stuff is interchangeable, intakes are not, have to have cam ground for her. Oh it will stay a manual trans on the column. I think that kicks ass I will rebuild the 318 Poly in her add the dual quad intake hotter cam, she'll motorvate good enough. I want to keep the Poly in her and 3 speed has overdrive in this sucker |

You can also buy one of those cheap cast 4" stroke cranks (for the 360), bore it .090 and build yourself a 401.... 2 fours on it would be sweet. I think someone still makes those finned rocker covers and they look awesome. I can imagine popping the hood and checking out that big ole wide motor with all that stuff polished out.... That is an awesome car man, with alot of potential for very cool old school mods. Congrats. Will |

Gorgeous car. Those were the days when cars were as much art as they were function.

it runs really good, surprised really. I was expecting it to be a complete turd. It's not fast by any means however it keeps up with trafic and all that. Will pull away from a redlight and smoke the little white walls like crazy Car gets crazy amounts of attention and thumbs up etc. I love the thing, gonna paint it bright red with a white top. Will take lots of work, will have to block this thing lots lol

Thanks guys, the interior is next. Headliner first so I can put the windshields back in. Interior will be black and red. Going to keep it a Poly V8 I have another 58 Poly that is going to end up a 402 cu inch stroker with dual quads. Should make 400 horsepower and not be obnoxious.
