Bloo Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 A Firedome Special! One of the best car names ever. I had one. Mine was pink. What a great car. I miss it. I don't miss the pink paint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I think that blue one is a good buy in price. If the car checked out ok. Great styling on 55-56 Desoto’s. Look away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I'm a little skeptical on the blue one. This is a northeast rustbelt car and the seller states in the ad that it has some inter panel rust. You really have to crawl underneath and look. It appears the rockers were replaced at some point. It looks like the interior needs some refurbishment too. I would prefer a 1956 Desoto with the larger 330 hemi to a 1955. Plus the 1956s had 12 volt electrics. Just a personal preference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 But a 56 has that tail light thing going on. The power steering column is also a bummer when it has issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 55er Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 What is "Pending" anyway? If a guy spends an hour looking your car over at a swap meet, asks all the pertinent questions and then tells you he's buying the car and wants you to hold it for him until he gets back from the bank with the money does that make it Pending? When someone checks out your car, agrees to buy it and will be back "first thing" tomorrow morning with the money does that count as Pending? If a guy says he'll buy your car as long as you agree to a thorough nit-pick inspection by his personal mechanic with the car up on a lift could you call that Pending? And finally the person that has checked everything out, talked to you for hours, and told you he will be paying the full asking price for your car but "just has to run everything by his wife first" can that be interpreted as Pending? In my book there is no such thing as Pending, it's either sold or it's not. All this BS has happened to me and none of these time-wasters bought anything. The car's sold when I have the money in my hands and the title's been transferred to the new owner. No exceptions and No Pending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
