  12. Nice Dodge...... Oh yeah, I forgot, @VANDENPLAS has gone over to the dark side.
    Nice car, but a unique combination of options/mechanicals. Please fill in the details when you can.

    Yes yes, I’m quoting again. As everyone can see there are V’s front and back on the 56 but no small bow tie emblem above them as the factory would do on V8 models. A good reason why is a V emblem will directly bolt into the same holes as the big bow tie emblem that signifies 6 cylinder engine. Vin # prefix is going to be the “truth be told”.

    I’ll be damned, I just learned something new today :p
    That is a really nice more door and I’ve always loved the tri five 4 door hardtops. My buddies dad has a really nice one that he has owned for eons. I’ve always thought that it was a very sophisticated looking car and more luxurious than a regular more door. Awesome score!!
     
  20. Thanks for the compliments!!

    story I got is it’s an Original California car V8 auto . Originally red exterior .

    Came to Canada about 35 years ago sat in his barn for years , sold it , guy who bought it painted it , needed cash and sold it back , and sat in the barn again . He’s selling a couple cars , great guy and his son spent a ton of time just shooting the breeze .

    eventually I’m going to stuff a v8 back in her and redo the interior .

    car really is a nice clean time piece , nothing has really been fussed with or modified or butchered .

    so I got a clean slate to completely screw it up !!!!

    naw , like I said , it’s getting lowered and a interior clean up and cruse the tires off her for a good long while !! IMG_9361.jpeg IMG_9367.jpeg IMG_9366.jpeg IMG_9374.jpeg IMG_9363.jpeg IMG_9360.jpeg
     
  21. Trunk is old a dusty not a spot of rust
    Dog legs, rockets etc are mint
    Doors close with 1 finger
    All windows go up n down . Heck even the parking brake and wipers work !!

  24. I did that same thing on my 56 Handyman a long time ago. Picked up a good hood for it, and found that the spacing was right for the V. Of course, a 327 V-8 was going in, so the V was correct.
