Picked up this old Dodge conv a few months back , it was orig rodded in the 50s then in the late 60s early 70s was torn apart and a 383, 4spd and a Dana 60 from a 69 RR was installed and it was never finished , I took all the running gear out last month , over the winter gonna turn it into a safe driver and hopefully next spring I will be cruising the wheels off it as a primered work in progress not a Rat rod as I do actually intend on finishing the car... What do you think... its a 35 Dodge Conv and apparently they didnt make many of them...

Sounds like a cool project. Can't wait to follow it along.
Good luck!
Thanks I will keep you posted.. the body should be off in the next week or so , we are gonna box the frame and rework the xframes in both the body and the frame as the original builder had no clue when it came to hacking that 383 into it ... this time it will have a 440 w a tunnel ram w 2 660s , 4spd w an 8 3/4 as I have a 68 Charger that was begging me for that Dana.... I am gonna build it as a period correct street machine with what would have been available had it been built around 1966-67 time frame...

Found this photo of one on Hot Rod's site... good looking cars and this one sure has the right engine! 
Look forward to seeing how yours turns out! 
Bruce that car you posted is a 34 ply, that is a great car, wish I had one too.
this is a 35 dodge vert ,a beautiful car too
can't wait to see how this one turns out. and YES they are a very rare care, keep us posted with lots of progress pics
You're right of course! Interesting that Hot Rod evidently has it misidentified so it came back in a Google search as a 35 Dodge.

Yeah you would think HOT ROD would get it right, oh thats right it's not a ford so they are not familiar with it 
there is a big difference from a 34 to the 35. the 35 became a much larger car inside. both are rare to find.
by the way the black 34 you posted is out here in San Diego and it is a fiberglass car, the company that made the body is now out of bussiness
