Projects Look what I just bought !

Original California car no rust or rot painted about 6-7 years ago nice paint job
Interior is “meh”. I’m going to redo the doors and covers or blankets on the seats
Lower it
And give it a good clean up

drove 2 hours to see it today after work and 2 hours home I’m pooped ( it doesn’t take much )
Picking it up on the week end

I’m pickled tink !!

 

Nice.

 

Nice find, lovely car. Changing your slogan to it's a chevy?

 

Oh wow that's so cool.
I know how long you've waited to finally get ya a nice Dodge.

 

Nice!

 

OOOoooohhhhhh

 

You’re not planning to go looking for a certain yellow deuce coupe are you?

 

Interesting use of colors.

 

Congrats, take time to look at brakes, etc

 

I’d cruise it

 

neat, need the Three on the Tree fixed to get the full effect!

 

I think thats the first 56 4dr hardtop I've seen with a 235. Nice score!

 

Way to go!

 

A good start.

 

Oh yea, that’s a nice looking car for sure!

 

Nice Dodge...... Oh yeah, I forgot, @VANDENPLAS has gone over to the dark side.
Nice car, but a unique combination of options/mechanicals. Please fill in the details when you can.

 

I seen one. In a 210 more door hard top. Not many of them to see.

 

Cool cruiser!

 

We know Anthony, we know.

 

Nice find! That underside looks pretty clean.

 

Congrats, looks like it was worth the drive

 

Yes yes, I’m quoting again. As everyone can see there are V’s front and back on the 56 but no small bow tie emblem above them as the factory would do on V8 models. A good reason why is a V emblem will directly bolt into the same holes as the big bow tie emblem that signifies 6 cylinder engine. Vin # prefix is going to be the “truth be told”.

 

I’ll be damned, I just learned something new today
That is a really nice more door and I’ve always loved the tri five 4 door hardtops. My buddies dad has a really nice one that he has owned for eons. I’ve always thought that it was a very sophisticated looking car and more luxurious than a regular more door. Awesome score!!

 

Thanks for the compliments!!

story I got is it’s an Original California car V8 auto . Originally red exterior .

Came to Canada about 35 years ago sat in his barn for years , sold it , guy who bought it painted it , needed cash and sold it back , and sat in the barn again . He’s selling a couple cars , great guy and his son spent a ton of time just shooting the breeze .

eventually I’m going to stuff a v8 back in her and redo the interior .

car really is a nice clean time piece , nothing has really been fussed with or modified or butchered .

so I got a clean slate to completely screw it up !!!!

naw , like I said , it’s getting lowered and a interior clean up and cruse the tires off her for a good long while !!

 

Trunk is old a dusty not a spot of rust
Dog legs, rockets etc are mint
Doors close with 1 finger
All windows go up n down . Heck even the parking brake and wipers work !!

 

Congratulations! I can't tell you the last time I saw a 4 door hardtop tri five. I think they are cool. Have fun!

 

SWEET !!!

 

I did that same thing on my 56 Handyman a long time ago. Picked up a good hood for it, and found that the spacing was right for the V. Of course, a 327 V-8 was going in, so the V was correct.

 

Congrats.
