Phil 32DL6 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'm wandering over from the Dodge Brothers pages to offer up my grandmother's 1952 DeSoto which has been garaged since 1971. It has the V8 Fire Dome and Tip-Toe Hydraulic Shift transmission options. Here's the link:DeSoto: eBay Motors (item 280530879533 end time Jul-16-10 10:30:46 PDT)Some of you may get a kick out of seeing this pic of my 1932 Dodge giving her younger sister a push while my wife struggles with its non-power steering.

Phil 32DL6 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 The 1952 DeSoto hasn't sold yet and I've just relisted it on eBay:DeSoto: eBay Motors (item 280542961022 end time Aug-08-10 18:00:00 PDT)Feel free to email me at: graphic.images@cox.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 32DL6 Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 This 1952 DeSoto is still for sale and I've lowered the price to $3,500. I'm hoping to find a DeSoto fan to restore it rather than someone who will strip it for parts. I've resisted several offers like that so far.I'll be relisting it on eBay shortly with a Buy-It-Now price so if you are really interested please contact me ASAP at graphic.images@cox.net or 860.571.0280.Heck, for the right person, I might even go a wee bit lower!

Phil 32DL6 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 DeSoto DeSoto - eBay (item 280777940882 end time Nov-29-11 18:00:00 PST)She's back on the block. I've had several serious "people of interest" but nobody has plunked down the cash yet.The price has been reduced once again, and, for DeSoto restorers, I'm always willing to "talk."

Phil 32DL6 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) The Hemi turned over today! A combo of PB Blaster, then 10W oil did the trick! I can easily spin the engine (with plugs out) using only a socket wrench on the generator pulley nut.That in itself will certainly raise more interest from potential buyers, but I'd like to see if I can fire her up.Anybody know what are the correct plugs (Autolite AR 82s were in there), rotor & cap for that motor?Oh, and restorers...PM me if you're interested in it!

Guest Bob Call Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Check Rock Auto (RockAuto Auto Parts) for all the ignition parts. They have a close out on plug wire kits, show 7 left, for $13 each. They show Autolite 85 spark plugs for this engine.
