I am trying to help my dad find a 1958 chevy biscayne like the one he just sold.It was candy apple red with an impala steering wheel.It was perfect with edelbrock performance parts and it had really nice side pipes.The car when it was first produced in 1958,must have been a really nice car because of the way my dad desrcribed it.

My dad doesn't want to work as hard and as long on this one as he did last time which was 7 years.

It was a tank! try for an Impala or Belaire, Because Biscane was the cheepest Chevy full size sedan those teardrop tail lights were really neat. None ever came with a 350 V-8 most had the 283 small block some had the 327 and rare units had the 403 big block. And some had three speed manual transmissions and 230 cubic inch in line six cyl engines. All cars are nice in retrospective. There are lots of lowriders driving them still today. It will be very hard to find a good enough example for restoration but not impossable.

You won't find something that was custom built. The 350 block was introduced to the public in 1969...before that it was 327 and before that it was 283 which was in 1958...He or someone built his car which is the only way you will replace it...unless you get his old one back that he just sold (might be easilier than building another duplicate car)....

you're able to understand what the automobile needs as suggested in the previous each restoration is different. I further a hyperlink under that could help and order catalogs from various the resto shops and bypass down the checklist.

sadly, the 58 were consider garish, and many were crushed, or beaten down at the dirt track.
too bad- I thought they were better than they got credit for :(
