Too many projects
Not an A body but I thought I'd share a cool project I picked up.
It's a '57 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer (top of the line for Dodge in '57) with a 313 Poly. It's a Canadian car, so it has the Plymouth 313 rather than a 325 Poly. However, I have a '56 Chrysler 354 Hemi that I'm planning on putting in this.
It was sitting a long time at a friend's place, but it's actually in pretty good shape. Obviously needs floors and trunk pan, but that's minor. I have another '57 Dodge Royal 2 door hardtop for parts, with really good sheet metal.
Being it's a Dodge with a 3 speed Torqueflite pushbutton trans (rather than the 2 speed Powerflite), it has the Neutral start feature, so you turn the key to the right and hold down Neutral to engage the starter. Chrysler also used this, Plymouth did not.
It's super complete, right down to the keys still hanging in the ignition.
I've since pressure washed it and pulled it into the shop, it's got some pretty cool patina.
