1958 Chevrolet Del Ray

AACA 1st place winner. Full body off frame, rotisserie restoration to factory specs. We have photos. The original muscle car! a stripped down, base model with a NASCAR approved 348-315 hp motor featuring solid lifters and tri-power carbs. A 4-speed and 4.11 posi completes the package.

EXTERIOR: Is this Grandmas grocery getter? It may appear that way but not a chance! The post sedan body was completely stripped down and restored like new. Repainted its original subtle colors. Any chrome, trim or stainless was restored or replaced. It even got all new glass. At the time NOS tires were installed on the restored poverty wheels.

INTERIOR: No frills base model interior with a radio delete, basic heater and basic upholstery. All that mattered was the 4-speed on the floor. It is of course completely restored to factory condition. The metal was repainted, the upholsteries were replaced etc. It has the correct bench seat shifter with a little white ball.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Here it is, the first big block! Jumping from a 283 small block in 1957 to a 348 in 1958. This one is the high performance version with solid lifters and 3 carbs on top! It has been completely rebuilt and dressed in factory components including the big air cleaner. It has correct choke tube, glass bowl filter, reproduction hoses etc. the engine bay was completely apart and detailed.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Completely repainted throughout. Correct rubber mat, weatherstrip and decal. Complete with restored rim with reproduction tire and a jack assembly.

UNDERSIDE: It was taken off the frame and flipped on a rotisserie. Its still like brand new underneath. The metal floors are pristine and properly painted in red oxide primer. The x-frame was prepped and painted black along with the other suspension components. The steering and suspension were completely rebuilt. The brake system has been entirely restored along with the fuel system. It has a correct dual exhaust system that runs neatly along the frame. Looking up at the motor it is spotless Chevy Orange with canister type oil filter and correct flywheel cover. The T-10 4-speed is also completely fresh looking. A rebuilt drive shaft leads back to high performance 4.11 posi rear! Its spotless under here, this is a big part of the reason I purchased this car.

SERVICE: We inspected this one and all we had to do was fix the blower and a turn signal wire.

CONCLUSION: Very cool old school sleeper, the restoration would cost much more than we are asking. I love the model car that is included, it is this car exactly!
