My adventure

Wow, what a find!

 

WOW! What an incredible find! Such a great stroke of luck.

 

Here are some more.
these flip out

You can see in the back window where there use to be a pull up blind and it latched below the light.



You can see the bad part of the front seat here.


Glove box looks new.

The 3 knobs in the middle are the radio controls. The Silver handle is for cranking the front windshield out.

This is the ash tray and the one on the other side is the lighter.

This is the heater box.

Awesome Cluster!



The visors.

The headliner hangs a little low right now. LOL

Guessing this is a dome light switch.

This is the speaker for the radio.

This is all the stuff that was in the trunk.

 

Old pipe wrench,

Snow chains and center caps for Plymouth, Desoto, and Cheby.





Old FelPro gasket kit and bulbs I found in the car.



Here you can see the floor pan.

 

This thing will have this whole forum drooling....(((slurp)))

 

Thanks for the memories, Grey. Gorgeous.
How much will you take for that car?

 

That is a nice score, congrats

 

I like it!

 

This thing is INCREDIBLE! A bit of cleaning, a bit of tlc, and you have a great car to drive as is! Of course, with a car that great, bringing it back to new is not difficult at all! Best of all, once you are done, the gas mileage is not bad in the least on these! A few years back I was talking with the owner of one, and they were saying that it is no power house, but on the highway it would give them 30 miles to the Imperial gallon, and that is not bad in the least. That is roughly what Gramps got from his 40 Plymouth as well. That translates in to something like 23 or so miles to the U.S. gallon.

 

That is a great car!!!

 

What a classy ride. Reminds me of the staff cars in the WWII movies.

I believe that is what they refer to as "a find"... Nice.

 

Awesome score! Glad it worked out for you. Please keep us updated!

 

I am glad I could do that for you. I am not sure what I am going to do with the car at the moment. I have been told by my local experts that looked at the car that I would have no problem getting $10K for the car with new tires and back running. (Needs the tank cleaned out.) If you are really interested PM me an offer and I will let you know.



I will go ahead and let you all know that even though I am on the fence on keeping or selling this car that I do know what direction I would go with it. I have the weird thing where whenever I see a awesome car/truck platform I can immediately picture the way I would customize the car. I know that this will most likely make some of you mad at the thought of cutting up a awesome classic car like this but if it's not what I want then why have it. I will say the thought bothers me a little with the low 38K miles that is on this car but if I keep it this is what will happen. The car will have new suspension front at rear with air bags to set the car down low. It will get a set of some type of 5 star design wheel with 20" rear and 18" fronts. The engine will be removed and a LT engine with carb installed backed up by a 6 speed transmission. The paint will most likely stay the same. Sometime later it will be injected with some kind of cool flying toilet. The inside will be re-stitched to look just like it did the day it left the show room. (Don't imagine the 76 yo cloth will last much longer)
