Saved this one from the crusher

i'm not really a mopar fan but saw this 51 concord business coupe on a auction,knew the top bidder and he just buys them and hits the salvage yards with them and couldn't see them big jaws grabbing it off his trailer,he got a packard,nova and 50 ford 4 dr, not sure when i'll work on it but put it in the project line for now,saving one car at a time money permitting http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk117/randysfords/chebar174-05-1.jpg

 

cool save - love the patina good luck and if you don't get to it p*** it on to another hamber

 

Nice ,

I love it .

Ya Done good !

 

glad you saved it , was way to cool to crush

 

It'll need the camber adjusted, but nice save anyway.

 

Is that nova behind it a 4 dr?

 

yep,4 dr and its probably close to becoming a toyota by now http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk117/randysfords/chebar175-01.jpg

 

cool car.......dave

 

I think I hate the guy u saved this from!

 

That car is strangely cool. needs a chop.

 

way kool

 

Good save, too bad about the shoebox though.

 

nice save.

 

and kinda rare at that...think a little Red Ram and trannie is a bolt in....thanks for saving it....

 

I like that body style. Nice save.

 

finally got it to the shop and took out seat and cleaned it up inside,few critters lived in it over the years,PO said he stopped driving it in 89 and it ran good so now to try and get it running,put new plugs in it and gotta get battery and wires since the critters chewed them up,was suprised the trunk was not ate up by rust but it does need some repair,hope to get it running and then onto the brakes,has new shoes so thats a plus,one question tho, i thought it was a p22 but the numbers on motor says p23,can anyone figure that out for me?

 

sorry for the big pics,forgot to add the 3 bullet holes in front fender and vandals busting the headlights and rear taillights,and the pile of **** i pulled out of it,mask didn't help much,lol

 

Wow thats pretty straight and good. Love that body shape. Chop

 

You can drop that at my house anytime

 

i think the P-23 was 218 or 230 flathead 6.

 

Nice save. Time to chop.

 

thanks guys here's some more pics

 

i expected a whole lot worse, good find!

 

Thank you for saveing. The PO posted a pic of that car on here. I have its cousin, worken on it now. good luck

 

Sweet...My buds 49

 

Good Save !!!

 

Definitely a good save. Chopped or not definitely cool and different!

 

I look at that and think mild custom, chop the roof and/or make a disappearing hardtop like a pre-war Peugeot Decapotable.

 

That high bidder needs some kickin' to the crotch!

 

Naw, set up for ovals.
