Got me a 58 today.. Can't wait to get it home this weekend.. It's pretty solid considering it's been sitting for 12 years but for $300 with a valid clear title you can't go wrong.. Plus the 292 and 4 speed are still in it..             

She ain't pretty yet but she's mine now..

Congrats Dustin!

That looks like a great start.  If you need anything, please let me know.  By the way I still have your early wishbone and front axel.  I will try to get it on the next wagon train heading to Oregon, I just don't know when that will be.

Later...............

Thanks Charlie.. It's definately a project but it's not really missing anything big which helps alot.. From the looks of it I think I may be able to get the engine running with some tinkering.. It needs rear brakes right now too cause they froze up from sitting.. It appears to have a later model 292 with the Holley 2 barrel, dual exhaust that exits right before the rear wheels.. I should drag it home friday so I'll have more pictures of it then.. Oh and about the axle and wishbone, I'm pushing that project way to the back for now so if you don't mind i'd like to donate those to you to sell to fund your land speed efforts.. Probably can't sell them on here but you should be able to get rid of them for a good price on ebay..

Well I got it home today.. Here are a few more pictures

I got this odd manifold as well.. Casting # ECR on it with this weird looking carb.. Propane application perhaps?

Gonna take some better shots of it tomorrow with my camera instead of my phone..

What you have there is a two barrel teapot.

thanks tim.. sadly enough that is the first "teapot" carb i've ever seen up close so you can guess at my confusion

From what I can see it looks good!

Looks like someone has installed a RH passenger exhaust manifold on the left side to eliminate the crossover pipe.  Use of the RH manifold does away with the interference with the steering column when adding duals.

Yeah that helps me out alot having that already done.. I'm sure it'll sound awesome to.. Upon further inspection they have Glass-Packs on them and pretty short pipes so it should have a mean roar.. Got some better pics today of some of the rust-out..

And for the good surprise I got today.. I can't believe I missed this when i was checking it out before i bought it but it's already been converted to an alternator..
