I have a 1973 340 engine that is externally balanced. The 340's went to a cast crank in the last two years of production ('72-'73) and were all...
Maybe its a 1951 Hunt. This bad pic is the only image of the Hunt I could find online. The '51 Hunt was a three-wheeler that originally was...
The plate is from a 1959 Imperial mobile home. My parents bought it new when they married in 1960. It was a tiny little trailer, but was decked...
Can any of you guys guess the origins of this cool-ass chrome name plate? I know what it's from, but thought it would be fun to see if you guys...
I've got my own private "yard" with about 65 or 70 Mopars. About half are pre-1966, with a heavy concentration on '55-'61. I don't have ANY '54...
Yesterday I finally got around to pulling my 49 Plymouth Club Coupe down off the mountain and loaded it up on the rollback for the trip down to my...
I should know what else the guy has by Sunday. I'll get back to you if he has that head. JP
Yeah, it's for a V8. That's my mistake. I was told that it fit a flat 6 by the owner. I had a friend go up and snap the photos,so I've not yet...
I just bought this '49 Plymouth Special Deluxe Club Coupe. It's been sitting outside for awhile, but is pretty much complete and was running when...
You don't know half as much as you think you do.............................shitter.
Currently inside: "33 Plymouth PD 2 door sedan and a '62 Chrysler Newport 4 door sedan.
Speaking of gold and white 1957 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door hardtops..... Here's one sitting in a vault of weeds in my "project yard". It will be...
Man, I'm glad this thread got restarted. I've been pulling in junkers and project cars for 25 years and even have my own personal junkyard :-)...
I was at a show back in '87 and watched a drunk guy in a wheel-chair pull up to about 1/8 inch away from a guys PERFECT red '56 Chrysler 300 B....
The wood spoke wheel is from a '27 Chrysler. jp
Nope. Not only were all '56 Fury's Eggshell white, but they were also all hardtops. No Fury post cars were built in '56 (or '57-'58). Ask this...
When guys like Bo, Chuck, Fats and Little Richard fade away, there will be no replacing them. Favorite Bo Diddley lyric: "Tombstone hand and a...
I'm an outside sales rep for NAPA. I'm in the store most early mornings and late evenings. One day this guy comes in and buys a few parts,...
Thanks for the greeting. I wish mine would've been a 300H (or at least a 2 dr) but I'm happy with what I've got. :) jp
The motor is a 361 big-block 2bbl. I've got a 4 bbl intake/carb set-up to bolt on. For an early 60's Chrysler, this one's a bit odd. No AC, no...
Oops! Meant to send this one instead of two dash shots.... jp
Finally got my '62 Newport barn find home. It was a major pain in the ass getting it out of the barn without screwing up the side moldings cause...
There's an original "Shell-shaped" Shell station like that one still standing in Winston Salem, NC. Cool stuff.
Are you keeping the original engine, tranny, and suspension or are you going to update to more modern stuff? Usually it's best to make 'em run,...
A friend of mine is restoring an original 40's midget racer that is equipped with a 1940 60HP Flathead V8. He's having a hard time finding water...
When I first heard about the car, I was hoping it was a '61. The guy told me it had those "diagonal" headlights and a push button tranny. Turned...
The coffin lid in the trunk of this thing must be for a child's coffin. (Or maybe for a pet...) Its sitting up on the upper shelf of the trunk,...
I got it for $200. It has the factory "green" tinted glass all around, the original Jiffy Jet washer bag, and the factory spare looks like it's...
Found this one today in a barn just slightly larger than the car. It's a 1962 Chrysler Windsor, big-block, 4-door sedan with only 51,000 miles....
