Jake was 14 when it found us in 2011. Had it done 3 years later so he could drive it to high school, and now he's 22 and still showing it off. They both went thru a transformation together.

i loved the look of em...but no one makes N50-14s anymore (those were 14X10s)
so, i went to 15 inch slots all the way around

i still got the 14s stashed away in the garage in case anyone wants em...or i come across a set of tires for em

I think coker tire may have tires for them.
 
Last time I checked they only carried N50s in 15 inch, not 14
 
Before and after, sort of.

Same car, same house, I'm the one seen over the car in the 69 picture, my niece in the recent one.

@RAT ROD AL in my first photo you can just see the 63 Econoline window van that 11 years later became mine. It was never as nice as yours, but with a swapped in 289 and a 9" rear it was a blast to drive.
 
First day purchase $800.

Eight years later, I am not counting what I put into it.

It was built as a white car... then two previous owners ago it was blazed it Viper Yellow. Gentleman I bought it from was going to paint it blue..

Back to white for me.

Do not have purchase it picture from 84 when bought it, but likely a good thing, but here is circa 86, then circa 2011 after 25 years of storage and a 2018 picture after extensive body and paint to bring it back to original color and mostly stock.

I bought the white 68 notch in the background of the first pic from the repo guy that came to get it from the Swabbie that was at sea and missed his payments. 600 cash and what a sweet little 318/ac/ps deluxe interior car that was for years. Wish I still had it! When he got off the ship he thanked for getting it and keeping in a diehard Mopar Guys possession.

My dad bought this as a second car in 1968, the 63 Plymouth wagon was their only car at the time.
Stock 235 six with a 3-speed. He drove it from 68 to about 75 when he got a 73 Barracuda (318 auto). My brother then took it over as the kid car and drove it for several before buying a new Civic. I then took it over as my first car in 81 and drove it as my daily driver till 85 when I got the 67 from my Grandfather. It then sat for a couple years (it needed work) and my younger brother took it over, sold the engine and built a frame for it (stock frame with racing parts added). Never finished it and ended up selling it about 2013 having never driven it at all. 100% rust free car.

This picture was from about 1985 after banging out the front turn lights that had been pushed in. Never having worked on a car I had the front end sheet metal off the car by my self, hammered out and back on the car in a weekend.

Fun car just not my thing.
