I agree James. Seems to be a lot of these coming out of the woodwork but this one seems particularly nice. Being a two door is a plus in the sales dept. as well. If I had it I would have to build a longer garage as my 1980 Volare just fits into mine now.

Looks exactly like the first car I bought with my own money. Except mine was a four speed. 1963 blue two door. Memories…

I love the spec sheet. Hand made and rare.

It does look good. I accept the idea of correct pricing as I know little about what they are really worth. As I have said before I do like 50’s Packards. And it’s not too far from me either. Thank goodness I’m broke.

So when did the dealer installed accessory business decline, or has it. The last new car I bought(in 2012) only mentioned a few factory installed packages per model level. Nothing at all about dealer items.

You think maybe the owner came to his senses? Nah, that meant he had some to start with.

I just want to know which “factory” it was made in and would love to see a picture of it.

Certainly nice two door. Price might be near correct. Only issue is the 50’s Mopar price curse.

A nice car for sure but the price seems to indicate a hope of early retirement. Probably been looking at E-Bay prices again.

If you have to ask…

Wish there were more photos. And the owner would decide if he wants $7500 or $6500 for it. What I can see does look good.

Back at the National Show of the POC in spring 2009 a woman had one very similar to this one(6, automatic) but in white with a light colored interior. I want to say she got second in class but don’t remember for sure. It was a nice change from the usual show cars.

Ok, I’ll bite. What can this be?

Thank you. I did not remember when the new series of engines started in use. I know from personal experience that the 327 was a good reliable engine as that is what was in the 61 Ambassador I had.

Looks pretty good. I am assuming a 290 or 343? You could use it regularly if as advertised after fixing the brakes.

Fun thread. Good idea

Two. 1952 Plymouth. 1950 me.

Just another Chrysler vehicle for me not to be interested in.

Ambassador please. I had a 61 back in the 70’s and after all the work I put into it was talked into giving it to my college student brother by my Mother as he was broke. The trans went out and before I could even make an attempt to get it fixed he traded it off for $100 off on a car that was not worth $100 to start with. One of the dumbest automotive mistakes I ever made. And this said by a guy who made a lot of dumb automotive mistakes. Of course this is only wishing as I have no more room or money to invest in cars. And the Real Boss would have a stroke if I even mentioned the idea.

I want the Rambler

Well I have had to hire out lawn work and snow removal this year. The lawn folks can decide how to cut it, gas mower, electric mower, sickle, I don’t care. And the snow removal consists of two young guys with shovels.

A man from the Boulder area posted these pictures of his cars lost in the fires on the Allpar site. A 72 Cuda 340 & 68 Charger 383. So very sad.

We used to have several “junk yards” on the western edge of the town I grew up in. Most are now gone or completely changed in operation. But when I was a young driver trying to keep junk running I spent a lot if time wandering through them. Cars stayed in the yards for years it seemed and like Jack said my first car ended up in one after we gave up on it. I saw it for a long time after that.(1954 Plymouth if anyone is counting). I remember seeing all kinds of cars from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Of course then they were just old junks so most did not register in my long term memory. However being relatively close to the North Shore communities north of Chicago there were many wrecked foreign cars such as MG’s and Triumphs. I remember several Jaguar 120’s, 140’s and a couple of XKE’s. Mercedes and Saabs,(the older 3 cylinder kinds) as well as Volvos. Bring a sports car nut I had dreams of fixing one up but you can imagine how that worked out. I remember going on a Canoe trip back in 1989 near Grayling Michigan. One of the leaders was from there and was restoring a I want to say 1940 Ford panel truck. He knew where several yards were up there and we made a few short trips to look for parts. I was just amazed at the variety of really old cars in those yards. Cars from the 20’s through the 60’s piled up everywhere. Some the yard owner said would start right up if he put a battery in them. Now with yards stripping out and disposing of cars so quickly I suppose that dream is not available to any younger car folks.

Although I am not too up on pricing for Corvairs it sure looks nice from here.
