Ttotired Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Cha Ching, Chrisine made these models very desirable, which = expensive, but I am sure you know that Try the forwardlook network here http://forwardlook.net/forums/search/query.asp?action=search&collapsethreads=1&searchforumid=all&keywords=&author=&days=0 Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Very few seem to be for sale or sold. The few I saw seem to start at around 25,000 for a decent driver type car. Location price range and radius of area you will consider buying from will be a big help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupekid Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 yep well aware of forwardlook.com & the few i have found are customised or have non factory matching engines ie 383ci & 423ci, 440ci etc ..prefer factory engine atleast ie: 301ci, 318ci ,350ci etc .. distance is not an issue & im patient .

auburnseeker Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 So what price range? No sense in throwing 20-30G cars at you if you want one for under 10G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupekid Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 yes ..around the $30-$35k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Now that's realistic for a nice car. I'll keep my eyes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Mr. Coupe, have you had any good prospects yourself? As an owner of an Exner-era Imperial myself, I've noticed that when finned cars of this era come up for sale, they sell readily IF (and that's a big if) they are reasonably priced. Even though they weren't highly regarded in their day, being highly susceptible to rust and having some mechanical problems in their first years, they are eagerly received today. Many finned Chrysler-product cars have gone to Sweden. One Swedish fellow I know said they were trying to round up TEN 1959 Dodge convertibles for a recent Power Big Meet in Sweden, though "only" six or seven of them appeared.

coupekid Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 i have not come across anything presentable or in reasonable condition..most that do appear need total restoration or if they are in somewhat reasonable shape ..they have non factory plymouth engines fitted ..i was hoping someone may know someone who knows someone that had one for sale or find one in a classified AD in their local newspapers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Patience. When you least expect one, it will fall in your lap. Seems every old car I found took at least a month if not 2-3 to fill the order once I got real serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Just saw this posted. No price. Claims original engine but the outside doesn't quite look stock to me. Being a Savoy it would have the cheap smaller trim. https://classiccars.com/listings/view/995659/1957-plymouth-savoy-for-sale-in-st-louis-missouri-63028 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupekid Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 yes i saw this one from the Moto-exotica team ...currently on ebay also ... & for me its missing something .. needs the side hockey stick trim...without it ...BoOOooring !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 You're right. The savoy unfortunately isn't going to have it unless added. It does make a difference in the look. A lot jazzier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupekid Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 maybe classified ads for sale in newspapers or in auto magazines is the way to go ? .. being that listing online isnt for everyone especially those whom are elderly & still have their 1957/58 plymouth in their shed that they cant drive anymore ?? or is that now old fable & no longer applicable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) You can use Search Tempest and Claz.org. That pretty much regurgitates all the papers and classified sites on the web. You could also try a Wanted ad. I blanketed a tri state area with wanted ads when I was looking for my Hudson Pickup and found one within 3 hours of me from one of those ads.

John_S_in_Penna Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Coupe kid, you probably know to watch out for scammers, who don't have such a car but will claim they do. They'll describe it so it sounds great; it will be underpriced; they will have some excuse that makes it impossible for you to come to see it. Maybe it will be already packed at a Google shipping warehouse (there's no such thing) and the seller is working away from home on an oil platform, or crippled or disadvantaged in some way and just needs it sold. Any photos they send you will simply be copied from some other site. We want you to get a REAL one, and for the criminals to be jailed!

auburnseeker Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 You can pretty much eliminate the chance of a scam by asking for a few photos of something particular not already posted. Watch when they do respond that other things especially not specifically photographed are correct. I once inquired into a 59 Corvette. Sounded pretty good and even a bit on the cheap side, so I asked for extra info. That seemed right, then I asked for photos of the undercarriage, which they provided as well, Except the car they sent photos of had radial tires and the one in the listing had bias ply. You could tell by the difference in tread pattern. I think I noticed something else as well that made me step back and scratch my head. One will show up. I would try a few wanted ads. They are free in the Auto RoundUp and of course Craigslist and I even think Claz will let you post on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, for just about any car, 4-door hardtops are much scarcer than 2-door hardtops. People tend to restore the top-of-the-line convertibles or 2-door hardtops-- the one or two models out of a model line-up of 10 or 20-- so the "rare" cars become common, and the "common" rare. At a big show, with 200, 500, or 1000 cars, I wouldn't bother even to look at yet another Chrysler 300. But I'd go right over to admire that Belvedere 4-door hardtop. Wouldn't someone give that poor orphan waif a loving home? Edited August 2, 2017 by John_S_in_Penna (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 If it was a plain sedan I wouldn't have bothered but being the 4 door hardtop it does have hardtop lines and as you said alot of bang for your buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
