Anyone think this would be worth messin with .....

[kustomd]

since I already own it. its suppose to be a 57 plymouth fury. The floor in the car is actually really solid. but the lower quarters are rusty and they have been cut off not by me tho. I don't have the motor or trans tho.

for some reason, i alway's liked 57 and 58 plymouths..probably because of the movie..
It all comes down to how much you like it, and your skills in the end though..

[seldom scene]

yes, great idea to save the building in the background.

[MercMan1951]

Oh, hell yeah! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[bufordtjustice]

Thats considered a pretty decent vehicle here in NY lol....if that thing were here the floors would be non exhistant. Cool car, reminds me of Christine http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Im a Chevy guy and if I could pick that car up for cheap Id certainly try messing with it....but im a noob so what do I know.....let the more experienced dudes give their advice http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Whoa! That looks JUST like Christine did when Arnie first got her!

I'd just make it run, stop and steer...then drive it around and scare the shit outta people! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[kustomd]

Its got perfect glass in it right now but the windsheild and rear glass are just laying in it. I've got it full of trim and stuff for the car.

[WildWilly68]

I think it's too far gone....I'll come with a trailer and pick it up for scrap http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I would love to do one of those if I could find one. Keep it or you'll regret it....or send it to me!

[shoebox72]

I'd do it man. They are, IMO, the best looking of all Exner designed mopars.

[williebill]

If you could get it to build itself,like Christine.....
When you sit in it,does the radio play oldies?
Do you feel funny when you're around it?
Are your friends starting to worry about you?
If you answered YES to any of the above questions,you should do the car......
Just don't let the car do you.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[daddyo54]

Don, now that you know where I live bring that car to my house ASAP!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gifJ/K By the way did you just buy a digital camera or something? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Gasser. GASSSSARRRRRRRRRRRR!

[bradberry00]

That movie is Ok....but, it has nothing on the book....(not to sound like an intellectual snob...I actually dislike reading)....if you like the movie check out the book....goes into some gruesome detail on some of the 'killings'....

I love that body style...always have and always will...just get it and mess around with it maybe you can fix it maybe you can't...don't pass it up...

[JamesG]

Do you know of anyone in town named Buddy that thinks he's a badass, drives 67 Z-28 and wears a mullet? lol.......

Kool ride man.....

[Spedley]

Very cool, I say build it, that thing is cherry for around here. I do know where there is one pretty close to me for somethin like $250 with a spun bearing and a dent in the rear 1/4. Owner says its not rusty, but others have said it is. Guess I should check it out.

[Machinos]

Yeah, but that's definitely a parts car. I mean, you'd have to replace more stuff than you'd have left on it. So what you should do is get another one, with bad floors, bad glass, and good everything else, and work on THAT!

Check out the '57 Plymouth pics

[Jester]

wow Don, the car looks much better with the front set on it....hmmm maybe I should have thought about it more before letting it go.....oh well......YOU better fuck'n build that car or my kid is gonna be pissed at me http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Oh and don't forget there was less than 8000 of those 57 fury's built would be a very bad shame to let it turn into fertilizer in your yard and we have plenty of soup and pop cans to go around......yeah buddy you NEED to build this car, if for no other reason than to piss off Arla http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif. Just think about how pissed they got seeing the top come of my car, then give it a 3 or 4 inch choppy that ought ta really put her panties in a bunch http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif. Oh and if you need some pics to get your blood flowing check out www.plymouthcentral.com (http://www.plymouthcentral.com) I did some research on those cars when Nick offered me the 53 for the 58 and belive it or not I wouldn't have traded with out that 57 going in the deal (yeah I know I'm stupid).

[tinyelvis]

I love those.. I say do it if you can. My skills are not up to snuff for something like that but man.. if they were.. plus it's a 2-door HT which makes it worthwhile. If it were a moredoor I would say no way. My $.02

[imfatdad]

An Arkansas HAMB thrash???? At least get some opinions.. SOMEONE is bound to come thru a wet county on the way.....

[Plowboy]

Abomber30 had one posted a while back that he found, running and drivin in good shape for around 800 bucks. That would be a better place to start, I think.

Now that said, find yourself a pre-war pickup cab (Dodge Preferrably) and build a truck. Hack the ass end off that car, narrow it a bit and make a bed out of it. Those fins are cool, especially if you have all the trim for it. Of course, I am a bit biased.

[Jester]

Ok Hamb thrash In Hot Springs that is pretty close to most everyone plus its in a wet county and there are plenty of strip clubs and eat'n joints everyone come up with a date and I'll be there

[Jester]

tiny thats a fury they only made 2 door hard tops on that year model fury plus they only come in one color and red isn't it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I saw this guy sell one of those on Ebay that was rigged up to spontaneously play oldies music whenever someone set of a motion detector by the car... He replaced the lights in the radio to glow green too..

That rocked!

A few thousand hours of labor and it could look just like this:

[porknbeaner]

I wouldn't do it on a bet.
What I would do if I were you is trade it for a '23 Dodge Bros. coupe in really rough but buildable condition and build the ultimate street rod.
So get it on a trailer and get up here to KC. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Friend in my opinion those are one of the neatest Plymouths ever built. They customize easily, and even in stock form have tremendous lines.
It sounds like you have a lot to work with already, and you got something going for you that other builders don't "Its Yours" Full MOPAR drive train, snake belly low, and shiney, shiney, paint (not orange please).

I dont see enough of them to say scrap it ! I would have to get it if the chance were mine !!

[Bass]

Find a cheap but complete 4 door parts car and fix it. Those cars rock.

Cleatus...I believe that started life as a Chrysler. But it is one of the baddest Mopar customs ever FWIW.

[plmczy]

I wouldn't be even askin http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifI'd just do it. Those were the best mopar design in the mid 50's. later plmczy

[Rocky]

Back in the olden days, when I was in high school, a buddy of mine had one. It was pale yellow and white from the factory with a 318, automatic. He changed it to a stick tranny and lowered it....painted it a dark green metallic and left the original cone-type hubcaps on it with skinny whites. The girls loved it!

[Django]

Action Girl, that is AWESOME!

Get this one running and drive it as is. Go find a nicer one, fix it and paint it red too. Then alternate which one you drive. Don't forget the oldies motion detector trick!

Fuck, now I need to watch Christine again.

[bulletproof1]

if you dont build that car, you will regret it,

Yea my mom just got one and I finally figured out how to use it.

I have 3 of those trucks and lots of micleanious parts for them. But I need a swb fleet side bed and all I have are stepsides but two of my step sides are the good ones without the spare tire cut outs on them. Anyone wanna trade a fleet side for a step side?

[2tall2beahotrodder]

I say make it into a gasser. fix the grill, restrip the side, jack it up, and terrorize

with some talent and a little bit of magic, that could become a killer kustom.

[kustomd]

I never really thought about making it a gasser. I was just thinking about making it a nice mild custom or something of that nature but the chop would look kool and make the fins look bigger.
