Posted My 50 Suburban In The Classifieds

[Olddaddy]

I posted a text ad on the Classifieds page for my 50 Plymouth Suburban.  This is the car on the home page of my web site, www.rustyhope.com.  It is also up on Ebay as a direct sale and on the HAMB classifieds.  While it is a total project, it is a remarkable collection of parts and the hard work is done.  The engine work and chroming costs are nearly the price of the whole car package.  I hate to see it go, but life has other plans for me and my time.  I'd love to see it go to a good Plymouth person who will value it as my family has for the past 17 years. 

 

Rustyhope will continue for now, but I am not taking any more projects after I finish Ken McNeeley's 49 Dodge pickup.  I am in the last push on the truck and will be posting on the Pilothouse forum as paint, suspension, discs and rear end get completed.

 

I may be offering the Rustyhope name and business for sale if anyone is interested in picking up where I am about to leave off.  The disc brake kits are a solid and ongoing product and income.  The manifolds, shock arms and other things also add to the value.  The name is widely recognized and the web page will be included.  Interested?  Send me a pm or email.

 

Thanks!

I am honestly sad to hear you are giving it up.

 

I hope it's not due to health reasons.

I echo this sentiment. I was planning on a Rusty Hope disc brake kit for my '49 Windsor in the coming months.

 

Good luck to you.

I am not giving up just yet, but I am not going to do the large projects anymore.  All of the Rustyhope products will still be available and I will be doing smaller projects in the shop for the near future.

I've got a deposit on the car, so pending full payment it has sold.  I will keep everyone here posted on the progress of Rustyhope over the next few months as I decide what I am going to do.  Thanks to you both for your interest an kind thoughts.

Charlie,

  Sorry to hear that "Rustyhope" might be changing ownership.  If that happens, I can only hope that the new owner will provide the same great support that you have.  Good luck to you in whatever direction life points you.

My name is Don and I bought olddaddys Suburban. I am near Ann Arbor Michigan. I plan to carry on with the project leaning more toward a hot rod. I will be back asking questions. After cruising this board it seems to me that olddaddy is well respected.  I am a member of the HAMB and the Rodding Round Table. I also have a 1947 Dodge Coe. I don't know how to attach a picture yet.

Thanks,

Don

Welcome aboard Don. I am sure you will enjoy your burb. How do you plan to get the car home? Haul it yourself or have the pros do it? Is your COE drivable?

[Don Colliau]

I have a young man that I have been doing work for on his trucks . He just stopped by and has offered his services up. We will see how that goes. I have a 24 foot enclosed trailer and he can tow that with his 2500HD diesel. And yes the COE is driveable. The maiden voyage was the 2011 power tour.
