picked up another one 51 dodge 3 window

picked this up from a nice guy in pasadena , rock solid 3 window coupe , horse traded parts and cash for it ,,body is almost ready for paint , , no engine or trans , cool car ..heres some pics...yowza!!!

 

Gawd, that has to be about the last of 3 windows made.
Neat !!

 

Soooo, what's on tap for engine/trans/rear? Ya know, a Hemi would look good in there...

.

 

aint she sweet ...rock solid 51 dodge . checked the miliage ..car only has 24,000 miles..the front suspension is as tight as a babes but...lol....anyone got a running hemi in houston...

Nice car, wish i lived nearby. Id come help just for fun.

 

Super score bud, I am a big fan of these rare beauties. Best wishes on getting her up and drivin. Keep us posted on progress. ~sololobo~

 

High and mighty tribute?

 

Ah the memories. Just like the one I used to go to the Drive In ...in the trunk of.
'Three p***enger coupe' accommodated six.

 

Some folks are thinkin' Pasadena, California!!! Great find in Pasadena, TEXAS...do your best to keep it all MoPar please...glad you're saving it.

 

Nice, can't wait to see the progress.

 

Very Nice!!! There was a rebuilt Hemi on CL here in Arkansas. Good Luck on the chop.

 

I saw that thing on Craigslist for a few weeks and thought it was gut slick! helluva score!

 

hey hey , anyone in houston have a parts car for the roof sections and door tops , might buy the whole car..rusty ok as ill use mostly above beltline ..give me a shout 631 b374-4126...

 

Those are cool body styles...

 

How about a different type of hemi - a Jag XJ straight six?

 

Keep in mind that the top and upper doors are different than the Plymouth version.

 

hey hey thanx a mil..hat jag hemi sounds interesting....mmmm

 

Here's a guy with an original flathead six that will fit right in that hole you got: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=852276

 

Am I the only one here that thinks this car will look really bad chopped? I think with a chop it will look all hood and trunk. I had this happen on a homemade 3 window 41 Stude I (started) to build a long time ago. Be real careful!!!!!

 

Yeah, I think you're right. Because of the hood, trunk and slab sides, it could be hard to make it flow. Could end up with that "pinhead" look.

 

I can relate it to the Fords of that era. The sedans look good with a chop. The coupes, not so much. The short roof just gets looking shorter.

Go flathead!

 

Saw that on CL for a while... looks pretty sharp from the pics!! Nice score!

 

hey hey . thanks again ..ok ..f ..the chop , how about channeling it over a running driving s10 ch***is with v6 , overdrive , lose the computer , carbureted , appreciate the input all. . its been 10 years or so since my last chop....ill mull it over the holidays....by the way happy happy to all you gear headed , what ever you call yourselves....lol

 

any one channel a 50s mopar over an s10 0r something else...maybe a different platform....tahnx

 

Keep it MoPar, no chop

 

That little Dodge looks too nice and is too rare to be chopin or channeling. With 24,000 miles on it why screw up a nice car? Drop a small Hemi or anything Chrysler in it and have fun.
Of course it's yours and you can and will do whatever you want. Good luck. Great lil car. I loved my little 49 Coronet coupe with the back seat.

 

S10's are for little trucks.
