'58 Chevy Project, 348/4-speed, Black on Red

[scuncio]

The right colors and the right drivetrain. It's a lot of rust, but interesting that it still runs and drives.

I believe the 4-speed wasn't offered until 1959, but nevertheless, it beats the ol' 3 on the tree any day.

"This particular vehicle is eligible for an extended warranty." Really? :haha:

I agree, Tony, 4 speed from the factory not available until 59. On this car, you can see the automatic trans quadrant on the dashboard, so it was not even a factory 3 speed manual trans.

Actually, the 4-spd RPO was released for '58 and the AIM has a section for it. There were a very, very limited number of them built at assembly plants.

Only thing that trumps the look of the 58 Impala is the 58 Bonneville. There’s a lot going on there!

This one is not prejudice by any means. Every panel has rust, not just a few!
