It came from a local NASCAR Drivers family, His father bought it new, After 15 yr.s of grass cutting it went to their Basement were it has been till recently. He believes the original engine is still there and went looking for it tonight and said I can pick it up when he gets it out. So 2nd owner, and getting to put this in the yard Cutting and Struttin, I can't wait. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACman 7,510 #10 Posted August 6, 2017 Way to score ... A one owner basement find with I.d. Tag and history ! That looks like my 58's setup if I remember correctly ... it needs dugout anyway just to run it around. I'll try to get a look at it tomorrow . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,345 #13 Posted August 6, 2017 Jeff, Thanks for posting the pictures. And being the second owner......that is priceless in my book. The only thing better, of course, would be something your dad or grandfather owned. I need to come over one evening and look at it. I'll give you a call beforehand. Thanks. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 36,945 #17 Posted August 8, 2017 With just an an RJ hood on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildside 195 #18 Posted August 8, 2017 23 minutes ago, AMC RULES said: With just an an RJ hood on it. Yea done a little research last night. It also has a rear diff. with rj59 No., but that isn't that uncommon. Best part is between the 2 I have everything to put a Real all Original rj58 with sticker. and have a extra hood. I have had a lot of fun with the 400, so now I can make it alittle different. Thanks for the help and info. I was really not researching the rj cause I was keeping it , but now can research 400 a little. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
