One repaint for sure, but it looks all original, wonderbar, big round air clean around the 3 carbs, auto trans big whites?

Looks like speedo rolled over a 100k, black paint but kind of dirty and not a good paint job, otherwise a pretty decent car.

Any ideas on what shes worth, I can get it.
Just took a quick look no visible rust it might be a good one.

Its only 5 miles from where I live.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Those are big dollar cars too arent they? I think nice ones go for 30K easily nowdays.

I really don't know, I should get a price on it tomorrow. It even had one of those kleenex dispensers in it, mounted under the dash. Sure was a big air cleaner around those carbs, bolted down in the back, looks like the real thing, I think. Another thing mounted on the dash on the left side, maybe a stop light notifier or automatic dimmer, only looked at it for a few minutes.

 

[anychevy]

that would be very wise !

I wonder how many had the tri power on them, I didn't know they did, but I saw or rather rode in a new 69 pontiac catalina with tri power, black two door, what a car.

 

[rubadub]

Found a picture of one, pretty cool

I know a guy that has a few of those 348 tri,power motors..650 for a complete motor...FYI

 

[Stock72ElCamino]

That is probably the coolest engine setup ever. Those motors and the 409 alone sell for around 9g's on e-bay.

Yep...I had a '60 with a factory 409 and 3duce set up with factory 4 speed......think I'll go throw up now. :noway:

Rob;
A decent drive will bring big $$$ on those '58 Impala 2doors...... They were a one year car, the new generation Chevy sandwiched between the '55-'57 new young look era...... and the long finned Impalas of '59 & '60. Ask what he wants for it and get back to us with more info about the car. If it's a driver and you can get this car for around 10K-12K jump on it!!! ...Good Luck

By the way........ That air cleaner alone will fetch $1200-$1500 on e-bay and another $1500-$1800 for the manifold/carbs/linkage setup. :thumbsup:

Generation 1: "W" Series
The ancestral engine of what is most often thought of as the Chevrolet big block was the "W" series V8, first released in 1958 for passenger car and truck use. This engine was an overhead valve design, with offset valves and unique scalloped rocker covers, giving it a distinctive appearance. The "W" series was produced from 1958 to 1965, with three displacements offered: 348 cubic inches, available from 1958 to 1961 in cars and through 1964 in trucks; 409 cubic inches, available from 1961 to 1965; and 427 cubic inches, available only in 1963.
