54 Desoto

[JR]

Kind of a long shot but... Nikki figured out what she wants inbetween the boobies on the 48 and of all things she picked a shortened 54 Desoto grill without the parking lights. SO, anyone have on that isn't in mint condition that they don't want my left testically for?

While your looking through your pile of un-needed rare and expensive old mopar parts I could use 2 15 inch 59 Lancer hubcaps as well. all I have are 14 inch 56 Lancer caps.

 

[chadrad66]

have set of 55 desoto hub caps in xcellant shape thats 4 :-D

 

[SGBARRACUDA]

Hey, what about a 53 New Yorker grill? My neighbor had two of those, I could check.

 

[RPM]

Is that all Nikki wants ? Wow shes easy to please. ...... ha ha good luck with that.

[70DartMike]

See anything you want?

How about this grille? Almost the same as what cuda65vpt posted.

 

[JR]

What do you want for it?

 

[pastortom1]

I think that would look great stuffed in there Scamp.......... 8)

 

[70DartMike]

What do you want for it?

I'll ask Joe what he wants for it. Probably not much. He likes to sell me things for very cheap.

 

[JR]

Sounds good, let me know.

 

[fstfish66]

look in street rodder magazine i believe some oen is repoping desoto grille teeth,,was the in thing to do back in the 50,s and early 60s,, days of car customizing,,,or maybe google desoto teeth,,

 

[Small Block]

What makes you think your testicals are any good there Scamp. From what you told us you're shooting blanks. LMAO

 

[JR]

Hell if they're shooting blanks they should be worth more!
I have a set of 54 desoto teeth (ebay) that I paid way too much for but I would rather use the grill that Mike posted.

 

[70DartMike]

I'll go out to Joe's tomorrow Scamp, sorry its taken me a few days here. Work has been nuts, and I'm moving as well.

 

[JR]

No big hurry man, the nose is off the car and Im working on the firewall right now so when ever is good for you.

 

[70DartMike]

Alright, went to Joe's today. He doesn't want to sell the tooth grille from the Imperial, but he will sell this grille:

Sorry for the bad pics, I took them with my phone.

 

[pettybludart]

That Imperial grill would look awesome on your 48.Good luck with your choices!

Hey Mike what's under the hood of that last one??? Hemi?

 

[70DartMike]

Ya, its a Red Ram Hemi. Its actually a pretty rare car, its a 56 4 door hardtop, which I believe is the first year for 4 door hard tops for Mopars.

 

[fstfish66]

56 dodge red ram hemi,,,could be a 315 but probably a 325,, is it a 4 bbl or 2 bbl ??? and a hemi for sure or a poly ??

 

[70DartMike]

I didn't really check closely at the carb when i looked at it, but I'll look again. And didn't the poly only come in Plymouth that early on?

 

[fstfish66]

the early polys,, and from 1953 in dodge plymouth and maybe a little earlier in chrysler,,in the dodge,and some plymouths,,the poly motors are dodge red ram based,and easily converted to a hemi,,,un like the 1960ish to 1966 318 poly,,the 318 poly has nothing really in common with the early polys,,except design,,and the distributor on some models,,,

people are finally discovering the poly is an incredable design,,weighs les the a hemi,and makes more horse power,,

look at the chevy 348 and 409,,head design stolen from the poly,,,

 

[70DartMike]

So Scamp, whats the word on the grille?

 

[JR]

I think Im going to pass on the grill . I already have the 54 teeth and I paid way too much for them so I might as well use them. Thanks anyways. But if you have any shots of the rear bumpers on some of those cars I need an idea of what to do with the rear end. Maybe graft on some fins?

 

[70DartMike]

I have plenty of pictures =) Brace yourself..
