And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It's a 59 or 60. The 58 had fake louvered panel in the hood. The color looks off the original factory maroon. Could just be the photo. I restored an original 60 2-four 270 horse from frame up. Very fast but required a skilled hand at speed. Hated to sell it, but the next project always awaits. Bubbarust
My BF that I grew up with up got a 58 for $800 that was in excellent condition in 73 when we were 16. I never liked it as it was not easy to drive. I had a Camaro.
back in my junior year of high school, had a chance to get one for 1200 bucks. 2 spare tops and a spare engine. problem was the insurance would cost me over 2 grand a year on it. dad said NO. unless I could pay for the insurance too. had enough for the car saved up, but not the insurance. that sucked bigtime. then too, I might have killed myself in it too. dave in pa.

I wonder where the picture was taken? The country reminds me of the Marin-Sonoma coastal area.
ReplyDeleteIf that was a stock Chevrolet/Corvette color I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteMy Father bought a '59. in 1985. needed work. He restored it. was later sold for 24K. He said it was like riding in a wheelbarrow. - AL Tru
ReplyDeleteFriend in HS (class of '73) had one with a transplanted 454, thing was scary fast. He ended up totaling it.
