moparfreak_bmx Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Last week I got myself a barn find Plymouth 1953 from an old man that thought it was a 51' dodge, real cheap deal, it's got the flathead six and most parts, lots of metal work to do yet. This is how it arrived at home last weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckleharley Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 That's a pretty rare old car that is IMHO well-worth fixing. I have no only seen worse,I own worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 did you get a title? If he thought it was a Dodge and it's a Plymouth I'd think he would have seen that on the title. If you didn't get a title, I wouldn't sink much money in it until I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I haven't just bought it as scrap, here almost all old cars have 'switched' titles, which I'm planning to do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything other than a title with numbers that match those on the car that name it as a 1953 Plymouth means you will have spent all that time and money on a car you can't sell for anything but parts.
