    Yup, def. not a '50. If he has a title make sure the numbers match.

    Looks pretty nice for $800, I think you did well. 4 door seats should be easy enough to find. And I see a clutch pedal, so I'm assuming no Gyromatic (a huge plus). Looks like it's got all of it's glass and the trim is all there. Not bad.

    OOPS!:eek: I had this cars twin back in the day,Gyromatics DO have a clutch pedal.That how you start off,put clutch in for first,clutch not used for 2nd and 3rd.But I got a better deal! I sold my new car in '70 when I was getting divorced and bought the Dodge from a buddy in Mansfield,Ill for 2 six packs of Grain Belt beer which we both polished off.

    I don't know of any later transmissions that bolt-up. Paul Curtis makes a T5 adapter for the flathead 6: http://www.1935plymouth.com/
    You could also swap out the rear end and use an earlier top-shift 3spd or try to find an overdrive tranny. They come up on ebay every once in awhile. Also check out www.p15-d24.com. Those guys know everything about your car! :)
     
  7. Looks damn good, and you can't beat the price, that is a damn good deal!
