When I was 18, I bought a heavily rashed out '58 Impala with a 348 tri-power. I had it for about a year or so...the body was too far gone to do anything with it. The seat was barely bolted in, floorboards shot with rust, broken motor mounts, etc. I paid the princely price of $400 for it...and was laughed at when i brought it home. Dad immediately recognized junk when he saw it...but in the eyes of a boy with cash, it was a dream that turned into a nightmare. I tinkered enough on it to get the engine running pretty good, enough to pull it and install it into a '76 C-20 flatbed. The rest was hopefully crushed, sold and turned into a stop sign, which would be ironic, because I never could get the brakes to work worth a hoot. LOL
