1958 352 FE Interceptor, auto. made in Chester PA plant(60 miles from me) original paint code was Gray with white up top & below the side trim. came with every piece of new sheet metal to patch in, Frame is good(very actually) brakes where done, cooling system is good, will tune up & think will be ok on this one without rebuild for a bit. Wanted to get a project to sit & work on it over a few years while the other stuff comes & goes. rearranging garage spaces to put this in its own spot with room to line all the sheet metal up.58 fair pass side 1 o.jpg58 fair air clean 1 o.jpg58 Fair dr side 1 o.jpg58 fair steering 1 o.jpg58 fair motor 1 o.jpg

That is awesome! I wish I was mechanically inclined enough to do something like that!
 
Did they stuff towels in the air intake to stop critters? Or does it help protect the carburetor/engine?
 
Just decoded

Gunmetal Gray/Colonial White exterior
Colonial soft texture vinyl &n Red royal tweed interior
Ford- o - matic 2 spd

this ought to be interesting 2 spd & 4.11 rear

All fluids are good, new brakes all the way around & was stored good. Will run gas out bottle for a bit untill the gas tank is drained or replaced. This could be on the road before Gallaxie 66 lol. Ready to drop engine back in 66 but its too cold to paint still. While Engine is out def going to paint the engine compartment

been researching, had cruisomatics , c6's but this is pretty neat. Has 3 gears but starts in 2nd if you are in drive. Pop down to L & it will act as 3 speed going up through the gears. Going to roll with it. Pretty much bring back to life original unless 1 of my 460's wants to be built to 650 hp & torque..lol hey stock market & retirement stuff blows why not triple your money & enjoy the work & autograph the local roads with rubber in the process
