1958 DODGE KINGSMAN 2-DOOR HARDTOP, CANADIAN, MOPAR, DE SOTO, CUSTOM, SLED

Description for Dodge Other 1958

THIS IS A 1958 DODGE KINGSMAN. IT IS A VERY RARE CAR AND IT IS A CANADIAN CAR. ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL MOPAR PARTS. THE BODY IS PLYMOUTH. FRONT END IS DODGE. ALL THE TRIM IS DE SOTO. THIS IS THE WAY IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT AT THE FACTORY! This is what i was told by the man i got the car from. BODY IS ALL ORIGINAL. BUT IT HAS BEEN CUSTOMIZED WITH A 1968 440 (SUPPOSEDLY FROM A POLICE CAR). WITH A 727 AUTOMATIC TORQUE FLIGHT TRANNY. IT HAS A CAMARO SUBFRAME WITH DISC BRAKES. HAS A CAMARO REAR END AND NEW GAS TANK. NEW DRIVE SHAFT. NEW EXHAUST. THIS CAR HAS NO RUST ON THE FLOORS. IF IT DID IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED. IT DOES HAVE A LITTLE RUST IN THE TRUNK. WHICH I SHOW IN THE PICTURES. IT HAS SOME BUBBLING ON THE ROCKERS BELOW THE DOORS. WHICH MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACED LATER OR REPAIRED. HOWEVER. I WENT AHEAD AND BOUGHT 2 NEW ROCKER PANELS FOR THE CAR WHICH WILL GO WITH THE CAR. THE ROCKER PANELS ARE GENUINE U. S. PARTS. BODY HAS SOME MINOR DINGS AND SCRATCHES AND SPOTS WHERE PAINT IS PEELING OFF. THIS CAR WAS NOT RUNNING WHEN I GOT IT. WE DID THE MINIMUM NECESSARY TO GET IT TO RUN AND DRIVE. HOWEVER. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT READY FOR CRUISING. BUT WILL GO AROUND A FEW BLOCKS! IT'S GOT ALMOST NEW WHITEWALLS. BUT THE WHITE DOES LOOK KINDA FADED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WHITEWALLS DO. THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS. BUT THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE ISN'T HOOKED UP. THERE IS A LITTLE LEAK WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER HOOKS UP TO THE TRANSMISSION. I ALSO HAVE A NEW SET OF CHROME VALVE COVERS THAT GO WITH THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS ON THE ENGINE. ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS A MILD RV CAM IN IT. THE MOTOR SOUNDS GOOD -- NO KNOCKS. IT DOESN'T SMOKE. BRAKES WORK. BUT REAR END BRAKE PADS LOOK KINDA THIN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. IT HAS BUCKET SEATS BUT I DOUBT THEY ARE ORIGINAL. SEATS ARE WHITE VINYL AND LOOK FAIR. ALL GLASS LOOKS TO BE OK. TWO EXTRA PIECES OF GLASS FOR THE REAR WINDOWS ARE INCLUDED. FRONT GLASS AND REAR WINDOW LOOK LIKE THEY WERE TINTED AT ONE TIME BUT HAS NOW FADED TO ALMOST CLEAR. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS A STAIN OR FUZZINESS WHERE I HAD STARTED TO PEEL THE TINT OFF. WINDOW REGULATORS ARE A LITTLE HARD TO ROLL UP AND DOWN AND SHOULD BE TAKEN APART. CLEANED AND REGREASED. THE PAINT IS OKAY FOR A DRIVER BUT REALLY NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OF BODY WORK AND A PAINT JOB. MY FRIEND GOT THIS CAR FROM A PERSON WHO TOOK THIS CAR OFF A POLE. WHERE IT WAS BEING USED FOR ADVERTISEMENT. THE PICTURE OF THE ROOF SHOWS A LITTLE SQUARE AND ON THE FLOOR WHICH HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. ON THE FRAME. YOU CAN SEE SOME BRACES THAT WE DIDN'T TAKE OFF. SINCE ACQUIRING THIS CAR. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND IN MAGAZINES AND HAVEN'T COME ACROSS ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS. DO YOUR OWN CHECKING.
