You could doctor regular rivets to look like the factory rosette rivets to be more accurate if you want. It would take some skill with a die grinder, and then paint them black...

A simple adjustment. Put the front of the car on jack stands so the wheels are in the air, loosen the valve mount on the top of the steering box where the hoses attach, start the car, and move the casting side to side until the wheels don't move on their own and tighten the valve down. I have...

WWP=White White Paint. :lol:

My best guess is white and the P stands for the painted upper door frames which would be red.

This is a fascinating topic. Myself, I just wasn't into the early A-Bodies, at least not to buy one. I did have one that was given to me in the early '80s, it was a '65 Valiant wagon with a 225 (blown up) slant 6 and a 3 in the tree. Very rusty. White with a red interior. (what else?) I sold it...

I love it because it's different. And it's a 4 door which is a big plus to me!

Gotta love the heater delete plate on these cars!

I love this car. It's different, and I like different cars. The woodgrain dash treatment and the console 4 speed really set this one off. Thanks for posting!

If you really wanted to piss some people off, take a rebodied '70 340 car, roll the speedometer back to zero, and put a 350 4 barrel small block Chevy in it, and stamp the V.I.N. of the car into the side of the block and call it a ''Matching numbers all original concept car''.

You do good work and obviously know what you are doing. Looking forward to more updates and pics as this build progresses.

Have you heard it run? That's a big factor before you get in too deep....

I'm not versed very well with pre 1967 V.I.N. numbers, but for what it's worth, the last 6 digits should represent the total production of cars coming out of that build plant. That would include ALL Plymouths, Dodges, and Chryslers that were built there and all configurations be it 4 door...

Let's not forget the 13'' wheels. ugh.........

For some reason, the car just looks ''right''. From the wheels to the patina, I wouldn't change a thing.........

Agreed 100% on the 13'' wheels and the sbp as well as the 7 1/4'' rear ends. Also, I may add that the brakes were too small, the 7/16'' studs were too weak, and the ball joints were too small. But, one has to remember that the cars were originally designed to be a cheap commuter slant six for...

And they're good for hiding beer etc. from the cops in case you get pulled over........

I loved it! It's nice to see how they built cars differently in other parts of the world..........

Rare doesn't always equal desirability or an easy sell. If you like it, then go ahead and buy it and don't think about resale. I bet that there are a lot of slant 6 fans out there and would love to have this car especially because it's a 4 speed. But, the price would have to be comparatively low...

Do you have a broadcast or build sheet that backs this up being a Hertz rent a car? I had a '71 Duster 318 column auto with an 8 3/4'' 2:76 open ratio rear end in it. It was an Avis rent a car, and on the bottom of the broadcast sheet it said Avis Sales in typed comments. Nothing on the fender...

I'd like to have a ***** for my '74 Dart Sport too..........lol

I can't wait to see the results. It should be stunning..........

I like it. Cadillacs are awesome cars. It reminds me of what Boss Hogg would have driven before he became rich..........

Cool pic! I was 3 months old when that picture was taken BTW............ How about some stories and more car pics?

Or you can use a tiny metal handled pancake flipper as seen in the photo. lol

I also heard a long time ago that some of the pre production test cars were used as crash test cars or donated to racers who just chopped them up and used them as they pleased.........

Ha Ha Ha! You know that i was just kidding! Good on you Rob, that patina is what some pay big buck$$$$ to recreate. I like the fact that you have the stones to drive it and enjoy it when most people would hate it for not being a concours show car all painted up and fancy. To me, another one...

Glad to hear you are having fun with it! Isn't that what it's all about? Can't wait to see it with the gold slots on it.............

Back to Rob's car, i think it will look awesome with the slots on it as is. It would be great to see that car cruisin' along..............

I'm loving the gasser ****! '55 Chevy is one of my favorites to boot........

It's coming right along, Rob. Thanks for posting the videos, it sure runs good now. Your American southern accent couldn't be more different than my Canadian northern accent though............ lol!
