I'm new to H.A.M.B. and was going to advertise my new product in the Classfied Ads but will not due to being banned after a few attempts. Thought I corrected the error but apparently didn't. I have worked in the Automotive Industry for just over thirty years and was recently laid off. My sister-in-law purchased a 1958? Dodge for $3k and asked me how much she should put into it. This is the main reason for joining....cause I am not sure. It has some rust on the lower front doors but other than that it runs good. I will look for and make posts asking about this vehicle. I own a 98 Grand Prix which is great condition and am going to keep it until the wheels fall off. I don't plan on purchasing or leasing a new car ever again. If anyone has some information about the Dodge I'd like to hear from you.
I'd put enough in that Dodge to put it down on bags and find some different wheels. Other than that I'd fix the rust and drive the snot out of it. Welcome to the HAMB.
She has the original hub caps. The Coupe is worth more but she bought it like you say to drive the snot out of it. All it really needs is a good buffing and repairs to the rust spots on the lower front doors. The underbody is in better shape than many newer vehicles. Doesn't have the big block hemi but will cruise over whatever gets in her way. She named the Dodge Royale "Carlotta". It's a lotta car. I'll have to add a picture of my 98 Grand Prix GT w/73k miles on it. Yeah it's a Sedan but it serves my purposes and it's paid for.
