  1. @InsideTrader the wonderfully knowledgeable folks on this site will have you wrenching on that engine and becoming a seasoned Mopar guy in no time! I think its great that you're willing to try stuff and troubltroubleshoot things even though it may be a little outside of your comfort zone.
  2. This Chrysler is one of those cars that looks great when they are all done but they look bad if they get a little shabby. May be a good project if you can grab it for around $5k.
  3. If the motor was, indeed, done then the price isn't bad based on the photos. 1954 is the fist year for overhead valves and 12 volt electrical. The '53 my Dad owned was a a very nice driver but it had the typical overheating problems that plagued a lot of Ford flatheads. He had the special water pumps, brand new radiator, freshly rebuilt motor and it would still run a little warm climbing a long, steep grade. Ran fine everywhere else, just climbing long, steep grades made it get a little warm. He said the '53 he had when he was in his teens did the same thing on long grades but it was worse since he had the stock 50's water pumps.
  4. Back in 2002 when I used one of my modern cars as a test fit mule for a custom body part, I was given a free part for my time and for allowing my car to sit in their shop for a few days. But your mileage may vary.
  5. That is a good looking car. If it runs and drives as good as it looks, it is a great buy.
  6. Come on, you know you need an old tractor or some old jacks around your place.
  7. Nice to hear that one of the same models is still out there. My brother's car was originally gold but was repainted black not long before he picked it up. Originally had a 2 barrel carb but we transplanted a 4 bbl manifold and carb onto it so it had a little more get up and go. If I had unlimited money I would find another Sport Coupe like he had and buy it and just give it to him.
  8. Reading the responses, I sure was lucky to grow up around a Father and uncles that appreciated and owned prewar cars. Cars have always been in my blood, even if I did take a slightly different approach to the ones I like. My Dad never did care for convertibles whereas I love them.
  9. Was that a Chevy item only or did GM use that radio across all lines?
  10. Pontiac produced a car for Wonder Woman a year before she started.
  11. If you post pictures of the body plate there are people here that can decode most if not all of it. https://www.tpocr.com/fordbp2.html
  12. Need some information. Location, does it run, engine size, interior condition, special options?
  13. The guy I knew, was a legend on the 356 Registry site. He specialized in doing perfect repairs in floor pans and rockers. Sadly, he passed way too soon. He always said he loved pissing off hard core Porsche 356 folks by telling them they were glorified Volkswagens. Hopefully you have your answer on that material. PS, in the future you may try letting everyone know that you have gone to all of the dedicated clubs and haven't found an answer so you're asking the AACA knowledge base.
