Just want to say that a broke 20-year-old college kid from
Blacksburg, VA, was instrumental in helping me find many of the parts that
I needed for my 58 Belvedere when I first got it in 1988. Thanks Jim !

away
Back in '87 I bought a '58 Plymouth
Belvedere 2-dr hardtop, a '58 Plymouth Belvedere convertible, and a '57
Plymouth Belvedere 2dr hardtop from a junkyard that had about 1000 cars
ranging from 1939 to 1962. These were all pretty rough cars that ended
up being parts cars because I kinda had "tunnel vision" for the '58's back
then. What did I pass on in that wrecking yard that ended up being
crushed? (Among MANY others) A very solid 1960 Plymouth Sport Fury
convertible with a cross-ram set up, a restorable 383 4-bbl 1960 Chrysler 2dr
hardtop with a factory floor shift three speed, and a '58 Dodge Sierra
Wagon with a 2X4 big block engine. I could've had all these cars for
$100 each, but I was 20 years old and a broke college kid then. It makes
my stomach churn to think about it know.
