Non-original 350. 4-speed. High-redline tach indicates car was possibly 270 HP 283. |
| Other details: |
It's a nice quality driver from California. It would need a repaint and some chrome plating. The car was not roadworthy before I bought it, so I had to do a little work in order to drive it. I replaced the intake manifold, carburetor, distributor, voltage regulator and all the wiring harnesses except the power window harness which should be replaced. Yes, it has factory power windows. After driving the car a few miles, I notice a scraping sound coming from the rear wheels. I found the rear drums rubbing on the backing plates because both axles where out of round. I replaced both axles and bearings with custom alloy axles from Moser Engineering. The previous owner replaced the brakes, fuel tank and rear leaf springs. I also installed the new Torq Thrust wheels and tires to give it the Hot Rod look. I do not have the stock wheels or wheel covers. It has a older 350 engine which runs and sounds good, but true miles are unknown. There is a high horse tach which means the car probably had a 270hp 283 engine. It looks like it still has the original Borg Warner 4-speed transmission. The body looks pretty straight with only a few stress cracks near the front fenders around the wheel wells which is pretty common for these years. I believe the car was painted white from the factory, but no trim tags in 1959. The interior is missing the original radio, package tray, right side dash cover and right side seat track which I do have. The tach, clock and temp gauge are currently not working. The seat covers are leather and not vinyl. The frame is what you would expect from a California car with no rot or rusted rear frame crossmember. The convertible top looks ok, but it should be replaced with all the weatherstrips. The car has the factory vin tag. Overall it's a nice driver as is or take it to the next level. |
