This looks like a real bargain.

A lot attractive points to this car. The absence of the "B" pillar is an improvement to most cars in my opinion, nice color and if that is the original upholstery, it has been well taken care of. I like the color and the fact that it has only two doors. If it runs well and the underside looks as good as the top side, this is an attractive deal over all.

Very nice.  Fair price.

Love the dash in these 58's !

It does look nice,,,, but!  There are no pictures of the undercarriage, engine compartment or the back seat, trunk or rear seat. There's a blue blanket covering the rear seat back which leads me to believe the seller recovered the front seat but not the rear seat. The gas pedal is NOT connected to the throttle rod. The steering wheel is cracked and what's going with the rear window? I get the feeling it's priced at 12 grand for a reason'; it needs work. The seller description is very brief and doesn't say if the car runs or not.

Really, more pictures & informatiion are needed. I get the feeling the car shows potential but some work might be required. When compared to the identical 1958 Star Chief that was posted back on August 4 in SC it's clear the interior was downgraded and not updated as the better appointed original appearance has been cheapened somewhat. To nitpick, the first figure that appears on the odometer in the picture  is a 4, so that mileage is 140K, not 100K, a considerable difference. The ignition switch has been replaced and the outside mirrors are aftermarket items and incorrect for the car. There's something definitely going on with the gas pedal like maybe the base is loose & worn. The linkage looks to be in the right place but the pedal shouldn't be down on the floor. Actually in 1958 the bottoms of these pedals are mounted on the floor with a hinge type arrangement and the tops are not attached to the pedal at all, it just slides in & out against the linkage but something clearly needs attention there. Again, more information (especially about mechanicals and running condition) please and if that info is not forthcoming then GLWTS.

The car is not running and sitting for a few years. Rear glass broken

there you go. It's a 12 grand project!
