Went &looked at Rod projects today-wanna C some pics?

Thought I would show some pics of some cars I went and looked at semi close to me. Cold and colder yet today, but I have been couped up.

Some of these are for sale. The 56 Savoy is not, but I am working on him as I want a 56. The 50 Chrysler is actually very cool and all there. Its owned by a friend but is for sale. It has a straight 8 in it. I am actually thinking of buying it(don’t know why) or maybe the 42 Studebaker couple. He also has a 23 or 24 Studebaker roadster that pictured. He says its all there but I cant tell. The COE(RON) is alos for sale and I am trying to get a price. Its owner lives off site. It’s a total project, but its cool. A 38 he said.

There were some chebbies an d ferd, but I thought I would stick to the mopar and stude stuff. I want the long rams manifolds, but he wants a ton for them and the 392 hemis, not pictured are not for sale. Lots of log manifolds for those as well.

LONG RAMS. WISH I HAD OSME $$$ BUT HE WANTS $700 FOR THEM. OUCH.

39 DODGE COUPE


392 HEMI LOG LANIFOLDS.

So Ron, whats the COE cab worth. The owner, who lives elsewhere wants to sell it, but wants to sell it with a motorhome frame and 440 thats sitting in it. I would prefer just a cab and finidng a diesel dodge frame, ect.

Dave

I kind of like both the 50 Chrysler, kind of elegant and the 42 studebaker is nice too. Either would make a very cool ride.

Very cool find Dave
I like the COE and the 39 dodge coupe and the study coupe.

the last COE's that I picked up cost me $800 and $1500. for the complete bodys I think the coe is 40-47

grab it if you can, dodge COE's are hard to come by. Ron...

Get that 56 if you can ...there is a guy here in FL that has 5 of them for parts ...he wants next to nothing for them .....

Ron, I talked to the guy tonight. I will talk with him again tomorrow. Hes hot after a 392 HEMI composit block I have for mocking up motors into cars. I will see what I can do about getting the cab.


If I were to grab it, whats thebest platform for it? A cummins platform? and if so, I am guessing unlike the chevy counterpart, it can not be mocked up using a truck to extend the cab? I recall that the chevy cab be mated with a chevy truck to lenghten the cab. I believe that the Dodge can not and thus, thats why we see the sleeper sections attached to them?

If I get one, I want it to be a driver and will use it to haul the 38 or what ever other Rods I end up with. But I would need some room as this cab is small as compared to the chevy cab I still know of thats sitting out there. Not much room in it.

do you lower/ drop the floor for leg room or what your advise?
