A runner 331 short bell motor like that '54 is worth easily 1000-1500. Plus if it comes in a New Yorker carrying case, you can part the rest of that out too. Building a rod? Can't beat an ol' Hemi for cool points, and TORQUE!
Caroline! Close to my former town. anyhow, I'm moving, so I ain't interested in adding 500 lbs to the move, so drop by. I won't give you $50 though, lol
I've always adhered to the "less is more" school of thought. I think with the black hood, roof, and go wing on the orange, call it done, sounds like a great combo.
That has potential to be a very cool driver for not a bunch of dough. Exner was completely out of his freakin' mind by this point in history, I love it. It sure could be a slant, but if it landed in my lap, an LA 318/360 and an OD 4 speed would go in it, cheese-ball the interior together, make...
I work at a Chryco dealer, we had a rash of of guys taking their Hemi powered rigs swimming a couple summers ago. None survived. As you know, water she no compress.
I have a complete setup, column, box, pump/brackets out of a '69 Dart. It's a column shift column though, and all of it is pretty heavy, so might be cost prohibitive to ship to Florida from up here in the frozen North.
Boy, ain't that the truth. And it seems to be no coincidence that the dumber the questions/comments, the less likely that they actually have any money. Plus, they usually spend the most time as well, I've actually had to tell one guy to leave.
Very interesting. Also interesting that there are 2 of us here on the same day with black plate cars from the same dealership. My front plate even has a '63' stamped where the sticker would go had it been used on the rear. Now my search begins for a plate frame. Thanks for the info.
Was there a Dodge dealership in Inglewood California called 'Inglewood Dodge" in the 60's? My recently purchased '63 Dart has Cali black plates with the top part of a broken plate frame that says 'Inglewood'. I'm just curious if this is the original dealer plate frame.
