Hemiken, here is a link to a thread I started about the car. It's a mess right now, but a very cool and fun mess!

I agree 48 ply sled looks great,,,i love the customs,,,

 

The 42 Plymouth rear fenders have a fuller radius in the wheel opening like the 40-41s. When I had my P15 coupe I bought a pair and never installed them. Wish I had kept them.
I've owned several P15 Coupes, all with back seats except a couple parts cars, several P15 sedans, a P15 Station Wagon, and a 42 sedan. Always on the lookout for a nice one on a deal/steal, my favorite daily drivers.

 

Love my '48 - it's a primo year . . .

 

nice looking 48, great color,,love the doors,,,whats the frotn clip ?

 

Here's my '47 Plymouth ragtop that I just finished. It has a 360/727, 8.8 Mustang Cobra disc brake rear and discs on front, power Cavalier rack, Aerostar front coils with one coil removed, Vintage Air.

 

Awesome DeSoto dash! & everything else!

OK, here's the colorful part - it's not a different front clip, it sits on an '83 El Camino chassis. Front disc brakes, 2" drop spindles. Power is a 327 bored .030 over, with a 700R4 auto, PS, PB, AC.

Thanks for the good words !

COOL looking DeSoto, i love that old pro street look you ahve got going on. One of my favourite grilles is the 46-48 DeSoto waterfall grille, simple beautiful.

 

desoto is way kool and different for sure,,,,im wondering whats under the hood,,,hum,,

 

Thanks! Currently there is a 340 with a Dyer's 6-71 supercharger and dual Predator carbs under the hood. However, a 354 Chrysler Hemi will be replacing it eventually.

What a sweet ride, 340 is cool. But the HEMI will give you the visual you are after, probably end up with the same horsepower, unless you have other plans for more ponnies ?
Will the HEMI be super charged too.............

 

fstfish66 I used a fatman frame stub..They are nice and easy to install..

 

Those fronts look like they would give them a good ride too, is that the case ?

 

48, special deluxe chopped 3.5 bear claw latches. Full air ride lowered bumpers,molding rear fenders. Flat six running strong about to do the ranger transmission and jeep rear end

The proportions of your chop look cool, awesome......

 

Man. Love these old Mopars!

 

i just sold a 66 barracuda i had for over 28 years was a dyers super charged 340, dyers blower manifolds are super hard to come by,,, i think you will have no problem selling it if you choose too,,,

 

good looking tail dragger

 

thanks for the reply,,

 

Thanks for the comments. Any of you felkas know of a person with a Mopar engine they might be interested in swapping out for a SBC. I feel its time to upgrade the motor a bit and would like to keep it mopar.

Should be easy to find a Mopar engine where you are surely, i bet you could pick up either a small block or big block Mopar for cheap and then resell your chevy no problems, check out craigslist in your area i would suggest.

 

nice that ur keeping it mopar,,,
