It's very hard to assess the condition from here. My guess is, you could get $2-3K, possibly more if you get lucky and find the right buyer.

Wow, I thought my floorpans were bad.

Of course if your not taking off that fast or only going up to about 20 or so, you would shift to D earlier. I would also caution you not to exceed about 35mph in L.

Well, I can only speak as a 56 Super owner but, I will give my 2 cents. If you start out in "D", acceleration is very slow up to about 30 mph (it does get there but, slow). The dyna only has one forward gear in "D" and from a stop, it is akin to a manual tranny taking off in 3rd however, if you start off in "L", takeoff is much better and I can keep up with modern cars. I even passed a 1995 Ford Fiesta once :). The way I drive my car is, take off in "L" and switch to "D" at about +-30mph or so.

Those look great.

Good news on the homefront, I have purchased the engine from Mudbone's fire damaged 55 Century for transplant into the Roadie. The engine search is finally over. I'm sure I will need other things but, this is a good start.

I'm still interested in the engine.

Now Willie's feeling my pain with the low oil pressure. I really need to tear mine down too but, I'm too lazy.

Love it.

Of course Keith, anything I can do to help let me know.

I asked him to send me pics under the hood but nothing yet. I may go look at it tonight. I'm so hoping its a Century Could it not also be a Special?

Ok all, it's been particularly hot here and I just haven't felt like bearing that heat to work on the car but, I have an interesting development to share with you all. This popped up on FB Marketplace yesterday evening and I'm looking at this as a possible candidate to supply an engine for the Roadie. I will not be paying $3K for it btw. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/682236740592654/?mibextid=dXMIcH Here's what I know so far: 1) The young man who owns the car knows nothing about it but claims to have owned the car since he was 16 he looks to be in his mid 20's now. 2) The car has no title Here are my thoughts. 1) Since there is no title, the car is pretty much useless other than for parts (I know there are ways to get a title) 2) Unfortunately it's a 55 so, the engine will not have the upgraded horsepower of the 56 engine 3) I've been looking for an engine for a while and haven't had a lot of success 4) Since this car is AZ car it appears virtually rust free so, I will have parts for a Century or Special if anyone needs them I've asked the young man to send me some pics of the engine compartment. I will update you all as this progresses.

Wow, what a trip (literally). Glad to see Willie's (now yours) ragtop is in good hands.

Your car is really coming around. Looking good!
