Toad had the car and picked up a hot chick that night cruising. I recently read that the 58 was finally sold. In 2015 the owner wanted a million for it but never got it. He paid I think it was 200 bucks from the movie studio back then and kept it all this time. It was starting to get shabby and I guess someone finally made a deal with him on it. The new owner restored it back to it's movie glory, except he pulled the 283 that was in it and put in what Toad said in the show, it's got a 327 chevy with 6 strombergs and that is what the man put in now. Originally the car came with a 348 and if I remember right the guy said when he bought the car a 348 tripower intake was in the trunk. There is history and pics of it on the net, even new owner with Candy Clark who played Debbie that Toad picked up on the street. This car really motivated me back then and I built a similar car just to have one, pics up this thread someplace. Lot of big actors came from this movie, my favorite Car Show seen many times.
