Is this car too new for here?

This is as good a place as any to give a shout out to the creators/administrators of the P15-D24 /Pilot House Forum - I've had A and B body and Forward Look cars for decades and came late to the flathead MoPar party - this is the best, most searchable, most helpful forum of all, in my humble opinion!

I don't even bother checking any other antique car forums for tech info, other than the HAMB...one stop shopping, right here.

 I also share your taste in YouTube channels - I thought of Scotts "Will it Start" episode as well!

Although a little late to the party I say that a 56 Plymouth is certainly within the area of interest of most of us V-8 or not and would enjoy hearing and seeing all about it.

Scott on Coldwarmotors did a "will it run" video on one of these: 

 

How can you resist?! If I had the space, I'd have a yard full of Mopars. Please let us know if you get it!

Yeah, when I first saw this car for sale I had remembered Scott doing a video on the same car so I went back and watch this video again.  I've talked to him before because he also has a Windsor like mine.  So if I buy this car I'll probably be contacting him again.

I agree, The guys on here are super knowledgeable about all kinds of stuff.  I might feel out of place with such a modern car with one of those fancy V8 engines.

Wow, jealous you have a personal audience with the great one! I credit (or blame) him for pushing me over the edge to drag a wreck home and let it use up what's left of my brain cells, physical strength and shop and storage space ?. He claims his videos aren't meant to be how-to, but he's quite a gifted teacher. I've fooled myself into thinking I can do some minor bodywork just from watching him.

Yeah some of his videos get a bit off topic, but listening to him explain how steel moves when working with it is quite an education.  My friend actually visited his place once.  I like how in one video he mentions he does "free" work on his neighbours cars, just to keep the waters calm.  lol! 

He once told me it was a full time job, just keeping air in all the tires.  lol!

Some of us have fancy modern V8 cars in the stable too.

I resemble that remark.

Modern iron for me as well. I have three old Mopars with flatties but also this ‘63 Ford ?Fairlane 500. Just had the 260 V8 rebuilt. Non-Mopar but still a sweet car.
