Customs found in a shed

this came up in a shed ... 58 V800. guessing it was in a hotrod going by all the chrome. the bell housing starter T/C water pump oil pan all chrome. and the old side dump tri Y's ... lol just think it was cool to see one.

 

going from shed into what?

 

Looks to be a shed find.

 

Had to look that one up, never heard of the V800 before.

 

That's seriously cool, some Christine clone builder would do unholy things to get their hands on that.

 

So what is a v800? I can google, but there’s at least two of us that didn’t know

 

My google don't know either.
Oh, ok, its a Plymouth..

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks for taking the time to post that info. Bob

 

A stock version…I think.

 

Hey @carl62, based on your avatar and HAMB name I gather you have what we got here in Australia as a 1962 Dodge Phoenix. If that's correct then that V800 will be perfect for you.
I'm a great fan of the 318 Poly's with 2 in hot rods, one in a 24 T-bucket I built in 62 and one in a full fendered 32-5 window I built about 12 years ago. Cool engines and something different.

 

That's a 1960 Dodge Phoenix and yes we got them here in Australia in the 4 door version powered by the 318 Poly and 727 auto. 318 Poly's lived a year longer here same as Canada.

 

Good reading regarding the Poly engines here: https://poly318.com/poly-318-engine-history-information/

 

Those headers are great

 

So did you buy it or do you own it now?
