If it never been driven why was it restored?
WOW......
Heads were replaced by Chevy in 1960. As noted earlier why would you replace glass and all that other stuff. Way over priced
Nice car but……..Nascar motor? RPO 576 limited to 10 units? Color me skeptical for several reasons.
-RPO 576 was the basic 250 hp 348 not the 3x2 version.
-RPO 574 is the correct number for the 335 hp FE suffix engine and they built way more than 10 cars with that engine in 59 and 60 and most of them had 4 speeds.
Still a very nice car.

That car is from my home town and it was driven. In fact I am sure it was owned/driven by a friend (Bob Hughes)who worked at a gas station on Minnesota Avenue in Sioux Falls across from the apartment were I met my wife.
I will find out the full story, I saw it at a indoor show in Sioux Falls about 5-7 years ago.
It is way overpriced.
