lancemb Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 It's worth restoring for what it is, but I don't think there's any money to be made in the endeavor... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 The rear flanks on the 58 just keep going. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAD36 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 It looks like someone jumped it playing Dukes of Hazzard and that’s where it landed. Boy those are long cars… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. 1958 Limited convertibles were seen as more "glamorous" and quite a few have been restored. It's not unusual to see a Limited convertible; I'd rather see the 2-door hardtop, which is like sighting a rare bird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 If it was local, I would probably have it here already. It's tempting...but I have learned the hard way recently that I shouldn't be taking on any major projects for myself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 It comes down to price for me and this guys language indicates he wants max dollar. OK. Someone go pay it. What bothers me is it’s present condition. It was dumped there - years ago. And left to rot. Now this seller knows what it is and instead of vetting potential buyers who are motivated to undergo the $150,000 restoration- he wants $7,000 or $10,000 or whatever. We ultimately don’t know the solidity of the body, interior and completeness of the engine bay- but to me it’s a max $4,000 car. Max. Just my opinion but there is a reason this super rare Buick halo car sits in the mud unrestored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drhach Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 A car sitting on its frame in Brainerd Minnesota is not a happy place to be. Given that the dash is rusty, I would expect the frame and floor boards to be paper thin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 Price now. $5,500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) 12 hours ago, B Jake Moran said: Price now. $5,500. Still way too high for the condition and the unknowns. Probably a low-mileage car, given the lack of wear on driver's seat upholstery, but I'll bet the front suspension is badly rusted and the oil pan may have holes rusted through.
