BobT-47P15 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 On ebay, of course. Located in Texas. Doesn't need quite as much as the T & C.....but needs a lot. Looks as if it has the "rear floor air" system. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Plymouth_W0QQitemZ350168004475QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item350168004475 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Fred Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 what is that steering wheel? (..and did it come with the "excellent" flame job) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 That steering wheel is perhaps late® model GM or something. Probably an indication the previous owner, before he became discouraged or whatever, was going to make a "rod" out of this convert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 That Plymouth 'vert is a pretty tough looking car. Restorable but looks like some previous owner did not have a clue what they were doing. A lot of great parts if someone is doing a 'vert and needs parts. As I said earlier, any car can be restored but this would be a tough project but not hopeless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the floors are mostly solid, and the lowewr A pillar, and the body mounts on the cowl are okay, then it could be good to go. A friend of mine here has the mechanics and parts from a 1948 Chrysler rag top, could have made mine into a rag top,. The ragtop frame, has extra X frame support, but this could be reinforced with square tube steel welded in under there. I would tackle a project like this, especially if I could get a parts car or 2...Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Fred there are differences in the floor too. For sure though the one Bob posted could be saved. The guy that restored Dads convert did a P15 vert that was WAY worse then the one pictured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Fred Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 i am sure you're right, but i would try getting a car with less mods on it, looks like this one has gotten a front clip at some part (front axle, break, steering column) and you can't say how good this was done. it's no problem dealing with rust and age, but it's always a real pain to clean up after other people before you get to the real restoring (if that is what you want to do with this one). might be easier to set the body on a modern frame and hop it up. i don't know just how rare they really are, that might be important i admit... (just the "next fred's" 2 cents) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Capt Fred......they produced between 15 and 16,000 P15 converts during 46, 47, 48 and the first three or four months of 49. Don't know how many survive today......there are more than you think out there (as I always watch for them), but still may not be all so many. I know of two right around here that were total junk in salvage yards back in the 1970s. My car came from a salvage dealer in 1973, but was actually in pretty good shape by comparison to this one advertised. No modifications had been made. Had been wrecked and repaired on the passenger side. (please excuse the old picture....only one I can now find) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Maxwell Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 ...cause I was thinking more like 18.50 and that would be for local pickup only where the seller pays me 18.50 to remove the scrap metal from his property. I will give the seller the benefit of the doubt and say he misplaced his decimal point. Maybe $185.00. Might be a few usable parts on it but that is about all.

Ha Ha Ha, David. I think you are right. A removal fee might make it worthwhile. Even then it may be too much. I just can't understand how anyone can have the nerve to ask $18,500.00 for that. I guess he is looking for the sucker that was born in a specific minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
