    that 58 was built by Ronnie Dunham from wichita. it actually had a 327 in it with 6 twos. he also built the dusty rose colored 59 impala that Gary Glasco and Jack Walker later owned. that 58 convert sold about 2 years ago in a K-bid auction for something like 50 grand if I remember correctly. someone had modified the car with a damned tuned port 350.....

    Love Dunham's 58 & his 59. When his '58 was for sale I thought that is was cheap. But at that time I couldn't afford cheap $$. If I would have bought it, it would have been like the rest of my fleet. It would be a keeper.

    Her is pictures of the Ronnie Dunham built 59 when Gary owned it....

    LOL....shows you memory isn't what you think it is. I guess I should have looked at my pics before I described the engine....I just had in my mind all this beautiful chrome, fins and multiple carbs under the hood and how I loved it all. :) What a shame it was "updated." :(

    Sonny's Dodge is one of my all time favorites. I remember when it was in Cl***ic and Custom back in the early 80's and the article said it took him like 15 or 20 years to build it with life, kids, etc. As a young, dumb, never built nuthin' 14 year old I'm thinking man, that's crazy, I would never let a car like that sit and take so long to get it done. I finally met Sonny at the CCR last year and personally apologized for my thoughts...especially since it's been 30 years and I still haven't finished my first one. ;)

    So what's happened to all these customs from the 80's/90's. are they in sitting in grampa's garage destined to be "barn finds" in a few year's when gramps p***es on?
