Pat and Garry Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Greetings All,I have a car that has been stored in our side yard for the past 15 years that was supposed to be picked up by a family member within the first 6 months after it was parked. Needless to say, it's still here. The time has come to make a decision about it. Do I keep it or do I sell it. My dilema is, I don't know what year or model it is. All I know is that it might be a 1928, possibly a Victory 6. I've attached a picture and would truly appreciate any input. I've located the VIN and it's M40270. Thanks again,Pat MooreNewark,CA.

Paul Bohlig Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 You have a '29 Victory Six. The model numbers were 130 and 131. The VIN went from M-1 throguh M-87759. So your car is in the middle of the production. You did not mention but I would definitely work on:getting a title and current registration since it sounds as though plates were droppedjoin the DB club for $ 20/yr so you can sell to someone who will either restore or part out to people preserving these vehicles.Good luck Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care.Pat and Garry MooreNewark,CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Scafani Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 hello Pat, I have a victory six. I live in Fremont. I would like to see your car sometime.email dbracer26@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB-ed Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I had better add my 2-cts worth of correction here for those reading this thread in need to technical accuracy. The 1929 Victory started at serial number M-51930, built on July 1, 1928. All previous cars, inlcuding yours at M-40270, are considered (as were sold as) 1928 models. Your car was built in early May, 1928. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat and Garry Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 Thanks for that important technical help, have printed the necessary DMV form and just need to get it all verified. Good to know what year this car is. Will be posting my "for sale" ad as soon as I get the pink slip.Thanks again <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />Pat and Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemi43 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I have one of the last 1928 Victory sixes built. The serial number is M51686, and was probably built within the last week of 1928 production. Most of you may shoot me, but I have hot rodded it into something very unique. If you're interested you can see pictures of it on my website at www.geocities.com/dantechfabThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorensen_DK Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 What a waste of time and money turning a restorable Dodge into a unique piece of junk.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Terry kean Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I am sure that you will get your share of grief here for modifying a nice old Dodge like that one. One thing that can't be denied though, you sure do nice fabrication work. I would like to see it totally fit up before you paint it so all of the welding is still visible. While paint looks nice, it will hide all of the work you did. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_DodgerDave Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 OK Hemi,Here is your grief! OK, now that is done. You do very nice work. The metal work is very clean. Next time find a car that is less of a car. It is a shame knowing that car would have looked even better restored to it original condition.There are many cars out there that you can modify. It's sad that people take a complete car and ruin it. But again nicemetal work. Wish my victory was a 2 door but it's one of the FIRST VICTORY 6es off the line and will stay original.Good luck with it Hemi. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB-ed Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Not only a waste of money and time, but a waste of a once-good car because, unless this guy is 5'2" or less, he will have no headroom in a chopped Victory--or he'll sit on the floor and peer out the windows he just reduced to slits. Oh yeah, and if he pokes the engine back thru the firewall, which looks likely, he'll have no leg room either unless he drives from the back seat. The rumble of the roof he filled with sheet steel ought to add to his "enjoyment." The shortened frame (and wheelbase) changes a lot of geometry. I wonder what he knows about designing steering and front ends? This loser ought to be on eBay in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
