For sale is a very nice unmodified original 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne 2 door sedan. I'm very hesitant to sell this car but I want to put air ride and Fenton speed parts on it and everybody says leave it alone. Here's your chance before I violate it's originality. I had my eye on this car for a couple years and last year I went after it and bought it. The interior seat covers were original and the front had worn through and the front seat foam was starting to break down. I pulled the seats and had brand new stock seat covers put on from CARS INC., I also had the seat foam and burlap replaced front and back. I wanted it to be as comfortable as new again. While apart, new factory style carpet was installed, I replaced the original kick panels with new and a new rear package tray was also put in. Door panels are original and still look pretty nice. The dash is all original and very nice and has it's radio delete plate, the owners manual is still in the glove compt. All gauges look nice and all function, the odometer still works but the speedometer does not, so it's something in the head. Mileage is listed as original on the title from the DMV in Indiana and from the overall wear I'd say it is. Every other thing on the car works, steering wheel, pedals and all trim looks very clean, car definitely appears to have been very well cared for and preserved since new, and must have been kept out of the elements. All wiring is original and never been cut or cobbled. All weatherstripping appears original and still soft, door jambs still have original paint as does the trunk and is still very clean. Original horn sounds like a freight train coming and you can scare the bjesus out of someone. Master cylinder was just rebuilt and all brakes were gone through, bearings packed and all new brake hoses within last hand full of years. Clutch works perfectly and trans shifts like new, car drives like it did back in 1958. The 235 Six cylinder runs very nice and has automatic choke and fires right to life up on fast idle when cold. All sheet metal appears original, inner and outer rockers and trunk pan are very solid, floors have had a couple small patches welded in at some point and didn't appear to need any more than that. All exterior sheet metal is very nice, slight amount of work done above the headlights was done back when car was repainted but must have been very minor pitting, no evidence of work when looking from inside the fenders at the back of the headlights. That was probably 15-20 years ago and there is very small bubbling in that area only. Paint presents itself nicely for a couple decades old with no fading but does has some minor touch up here and there. It's no longer show paint but is very nice driver quality. Still has one original T3 headlight. Under hood is very clean, firewall has original paint, underside of hood was sanded and repainted back when and still looks new. Trunk is all original and clean, minimal surface rust under original trunk mat, underside of deck lid clean and still has spare tire instructions on it, jack and all hardware is there with newer radial spare. Original wheels with radial tires make the car drive great and I wouldn't be afraid to drive this car anywhere. Front bumper section is faded but the rest is nice and the car is overall very clean, and has always been well maintained. It also comes with matching fender skirts but that's not my style. The Airstream in the photo's is not for sale and is not hooked up to the car, I just wanted it in the picture. I really, really hate to give this car up, I was born in 58 and I'm a Chevy guy. I'll probably never be able to afford one in my price range again, I just have too many toys, I'm getting older and need to simplify my life a little. Indiana title is clear.You are welcome to come look at the car before auction ends. Please do not bid if you have less than 10 transactions and 100% positive feedback or I will cancel your bid.
