countrytravler Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) A good customer and friend just were killed in a plane crash last week. He was a 25 plus year judge at the Oshkosh air show. He bought a 60s Piper that was in TN. He restores old planes and been a pilot for 40 plus years and worked for the airlines until he retired 10 years ago. He flew commercially to TN from CA to fly the plane back home. He crashed near Las Vegas NM. I will be helping his widow with the estate. He was building 3-36 dodge coupes. One hot rod that he has owned since he was 20? He said more miles on being towed than driven. The other was going to be stock and the other basically a parts car. He has a machine shop that he did a lot of his own work. I will post the inventory at a later date with details. Start you want list here.

We were supposed to fly a WW1 trainer to Oshkosh that he is rebuilding next year to put it up for sale. Open twin cockpit. That was the last thing we talked about before he went to the Oshkosh show. http://www.chron.com/news/texas/article/Pilot-found-dead-in-wreckage-of-crashed-plane-in-11820163.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx I'll know Sat of what parts will be for sale. He does have fenders. Just discovered that he bought a 36 4 dr rust free sedan for parts. 4 cars in the pile plus a lot of parts that have been restored. He had just finished building a state of the art spray booth that is large enough to put a twin engine Cessna inside to paint. He has a complete machine shop in his hanger that he used to restore his cars and mainly antique airplanes. His house is attached to the hanger. The hanger door is about 30ft wide.

Guest Dennis Donat Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Dave I"m new to this site so I don't know if I'm even doing this correct or if you are even selling any of these parts. I'm looking for a Windshield regulator for a 1936 Plymouth (36 Dodge is the same) It doesn't have to be purity it just needs to be all there and work ... Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Dennis Donat ... thedennis@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Wilkie Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) I have a 1936 DeSoto S1 coupe .. Maybe dodge is the same. By your pictures the dodge coupe body looks identical. Looking for a running board molding driver side but I think R&L is the same.. 54" length abt. 1" width. The width may be a little off. Also needing the hood hinge retainers mounted on the cowl & radiator shell. . Edited September 11, 2017 by Frank Wilkie (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Crutchfield Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I see you had a 1936 dodge grill with dodge hood ornament on it. If it is for sale I could use one for my 36 dodge car. How much would it be. Please contact me at jackcrutch@gmail.com PS I have been to Dream Cruise 4 times and it was great, I am hoping to take my 36 dodge next time I go.

Frank Wilkie Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Still looking for a driver side running board molding. Appx. 54" length about 1" width. Also would the 1936 Dodge 16" wheels work on my 1936 DeSoto S1.. If so I may be interested in buying a set of 4.

Pete in PA Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm just seeing this post for the 1st time in early Feb 2018. I'm very sorry to hear the sad story of your friend's demise. It looks like he was a very accomplished mechanic and restorer. Please accept my condolences. If any of the pictured parts are still available please let me know. As you already know from the Dodge Brothers forum I have a 36 D2 5 passenger sedan and the grill shell and everything forward of it/attached to it is the weakest part of the car, condition-wise. I see a few very nice grill shells/grills in the pics and would be interested in talking about them if you PM me. Also, the most rusty area of my D2 is the floor pan between the front seat and the firewall. Probably got wet repeatedly from a leaking windshield. So any parts cars that are being cut up and could donate that area to my project are worth talking about as well. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell something to someone already Read the HEADER!!!! Here I copied and paste!! This car and parts are on hold. I can not get a hold of anybody.1936 Dodge Coupes and parts for sale. This belongs to my best friend that died in a plane crash that he bought at an auction and was flying it back home and he crashed. They called me to handle the Dodge car and parts. I have no control over his estate. Numbers are disconnected and I'm not in town to go to his house.

What was I to do since these were not my parts and I can not get in contact with the widow? I guess you have never dealt with the death of a spouse. Email, text go unanswered and the phone is disconnected. As far as I know, the parts may still be there or they were scrapped. I am not going to pursue the matter anymore because of my job being on the road hauling cars and the attitude of the general public for being in retail. I see why these people that did Mopar parts die off. Have a good day Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Dave, I don't post things for sale on here very often, but I have sold a few things. Every once in awhile someone will be looking thru old adds and see something that I had listed and ultimately sold. (my bad for not deleting) If some one digs up an old ad that I cant help with I delete it. If the piece is still available I leave it even though it gets buried pretty fast. Here is where the problem is. I forget that the ad is buried somewhere and forget about it. Then someone (years later) finds it and asks about it. Good news if I still have it for sale. But I will certainly delete it then if it is no longer available. My opinion, posts for sold or unavailable items should not be left up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprised of the number of people that ask for pictures. I would put sold and back then you could not delete a post. Plus we have about a thousand ads posted. Been back driving a car hauler since Aug of last year. I have only been home for maybe 4 weeks since last Aug so my involvement with DCV is very limited. Its to bad about this Dodge ad. Lot of cool parts. Some of those parts are mine. Probably about 5k worth of parts. He was restoring them or using them as a mold to make parts. That was his intentions on reproducing parts. A BIG LOSE when he died. Thanks for chiming in Jack Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
