OK, dont laugh. I was trying to sell a little truck that I am into for a grand and had a guy call me who wanted to trade me this? I have always wanted a old school Mopar fin car COUCH, yes couch, so I took it in trade thinking I could sell the front clip and other part or what ever. The car is a 4 door and god knows who cut the roof off it. So I figured is good for what I described above. However, I know someone may need the parts on the back as well and thought I may try and sell it as is for what I had into the truck, SO AS TO NOT PISS OF THE MASSES OF GUYS WHO MAY WANT NEED THEM. Im going to post a WIW in the WIW section as I dont know what fenders, grille ect are worth and I would not mind a front clip book shelf or table either AND HAVE NO PROBLEM MAKING GREAT SHOP DECORATIONS OUT OF IT IF i AM STUCK WITH IT, AS i love shop decorations. Now I am guessing that done as is, with no roof, its going to be too weak in the center to drive it as it is???? OR IS IT???? I just got it late last night and o time to try and get it running but I am told it did run????? what do you guys think????? http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv312/SVMOPARS/1958%20PLYMOUTH/ONE CONFUSED RUMBLON!

Don't think it's a unibody car so it shouldn't be as weak as one with the roof cut off.
I say flat black, flames and ride
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Rule of thumb, if the doors still open & close correctly, its still pretty sound, structure wise. If it wasn't a big deal to get it running, I might be tempted to drive it for a year or 2.
Back in high school, a couple of my buddies hacked the roof off of a 67 or 68 Chrysler. They beat the crap out of it the first summer, I remember at least 9 people piled in in on more then 1 occasion. The second summer, the doors didn't work well, so they welded the doors shut and ran it another summer. Of course that 68 Chrysler was only 6 or 7 years old at the time, but I remember it had rusty quarters, so it wasn't a prize to begin with.
Have fun with it, then part it out & build your couch. Gene

To be honest, if you were closer to me I'd be interested in it.

weld the back door shut put a bench set out of a 2 door car with tilt backs and drive the thing
Weld the front doors shut, extend the controls, and drive it from teh back seat! Unless you have a pickup with a camper shell already set up for that...

If the car would have been weak it would've buckled in half already by the way it's jacked up and supported by the stands in the middle/rear.
Paint it semi gloss and drive it!
