got a couple toys this weekend: and a buildable 51 Ford coupe. This stuff is still around, keep searching!
Luckily all the trim and loose pieces were stored in the trunk! He couldn't find the bumpers or grill yet, hopefully he will. or if anyone has bumpers and grill for a 1957 Belvedere, please let me know. Thanks Dave
'57 Plymouth 2dr hardtop. Nice find! As far as I know, the 2x4 318 was Fury specific, or could be ordered for you by the dealer. What color is the interior? Go to www.forwardlook.net/forums and dig in the classifieds, you'll find most everything you need. Be sure to introduce yourself over there.
They're still out there..... ....they're just not in places like Michigan. I had to go to Cali to get mine. Nice Fury BTW.
white-beige vinyl with a dark insert (with metallic threads). The rear seat is covered by a blanket, so it may be nice. Car has under 70k miles. Pretty nicely optioned for a Belvedere. Thanks for the link. Dave
Belvederes are top of the line. They didn't make any Fury convertibles. Great car, what are your plans? There are a few threads here if you're looking for custom stuff. Here's one. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=133220&showall=1
you guys seriously need to go with me to the junk yard near ottowa, you wont ever be in need of an old car again......
Not sure yet what I'll do with this one, I'm going to do a leakdown on the cylinders and fire it up this week. It's essentially rust free (just a tiny area in the trunk, too small to poke a pencil through). Maybe just paint and seats, and drive it!
There was a '57 hardtop around here when I was growing up, still remains as one my favorites. It was very dark burgandy, almost purple. Love the steering wheel. Good find!
im not sure..... the building is not connected to the yard, they tell you to go down a few streets, take a right and its between 2 corn fields.... i coulda blew thousands of dollers in that place easy. i know we had to drive west through the park(can remember the name of the park/rapids) to get to the town its in. went with my exs dad who lives in ottowa, im a little bit sketchy on asking him directions...
Hey Mike.Do you know what happened to Cal Sag?They had a private lot that got cleared out.Lots of old stuff.Don't know the story tho.
Yeah, and some of them have that sucky HEMI thing they call an engine...those cars are lame. Nice score!
With a gem like that you'll want to get to know the folks over at www.forwardlook.net Congrats on the find. Todd
Notto be contrary, but there are some documented cases of a few Plymouths having a 392 hemi back then. They were only available to insiders though, not the general public. I used to spend alot of time on the forwardlook.net site when I had my '58 and that was always something that was brought up.
Decided to play with the Plymouth tonight: added a battery and some gas in the tank, it fired right up! smooth runner, all systems working!! waaaay too easy. it was miller time early tonight! Dave
when i had my 59 2dr suburban , i used to aggravate the hell out of those guys on there....touchy crowd.... brandon
yeah, me too. I still remember the grief I got from that board when they learned I was going the custom route with mine...I did it anyway
