What would U do with this 58 Plymouth?

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?????

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

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.

Too bad you pin a badge on. That is a perfect example of a nighttime road trip, plates off, hell-raising thrill ride.
I smell low-budget thriller movie all over that thing.
If no one buys the front clip, at least have a buddy with a camcorder show up first at the local cruise-in and then drive up with some napalm afire all over the front.

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...
