'59 Plymouth Forum

Nice note Stefan, I am always amazed at the amount of help available on this site. I am sure there are many more fans of yours that take a look at your wonderful work, but just don't respond. It has been a real pleasure for me watching the 361 be rebuilt to better than new condition. It sure makes w...

Did anyone see the listing where it says: "Vehicle Description 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible. This vehicle was restored off the frame six years ago and is still in top show quality condition. Take it for 7K" That car at $7K would make a great addition to anyone's collection! Anyone ...

Roger and John, At this point after Barrett-Jackson I am wondering how good cars are as investments any longer. As a custom car owner, I was appalled at how cars that went through $200,000 custimization, only sold for $50,000!!! That means the $20,000 I have invested in my car may net me less than $...

Okay my turn to add my two cents - just catching up after 6 days away with the flu - very nasty this year. I have to ask this question: I had new 5-leaf springs installed at a local spring shop. The car sat high and could not be pushed down with all your weight. It rode like an empty dump truck boun...

Yes, I agree Smitty's are the way to go. You must have dual exhaust - no single exhaust for a '50's V8 car. I have a real nice version of "smitties" on my car for over 10 years now from a company called brockman mellowtone. I used the steel packs but they are slightly louder than glass pac...

Hi Stefan, Dan has recently posted new members to our showcase. http://www.59plymouth.net/showcase/SportFury/Lamp This posting has a car member with a brand new NOS 361 (two 4's) from the factory (he got it for $400!!!). Perhaps he can answer your questions regarding the set up and send along some a...

@Ron, My car needs a new 500 cfm carb installed (now sitting new in box on driver's seat) and a bath - that is all I know about at this point. @BW I might be interested in a room 25 miles away - if you have time to post the info. I live 90 miles away but 2 1/2 hours drive time - makes it bad to comm...

I am their mentally already! Now the job will be for my mind to convince my body to make this trip! As I said to some - I may need help getting the car ready for the trip including a driver - but I really would like to make it at least one full day since I am only about two hours away. Dan or anyone...

Who was going to start the best wishes for this Holiday season and a Happy New 50th anniversary Year for those that own a '59 Plymouth. So I guess it has to be me! I truely like this forum and all its members and appreciate everyone's efforts that contribute and keep it running smoothly. I wish all ...

For what it is worth - growing up my friend had a 63 plymouth slant 6 push button transmission belvedere/savoy? So I think you can match the slant 6 to an early mopar push button transmission pre-1964. Comments/corrections are welcomed. I realize there are many aftermarket go-fast goodies for the sl...

Thanks for the Thumbs-Up, I heard from a person at http://www.restorationspecialties.com that they may have made the rubber windshield and rear rubber for Andy Bernbaum. They make many rubber parts themselves on their own equipment (extrusions???) By the way, Restoration Specialties came through for...

Hi Ron, I purchased the front windshield rubber from Andy Bermbaum for my car this year and found the quality to be exceptional. He has the rear window rubber new for $95. (note that there are two styles available). Here is the URL: http://www.oldmoparts.com/a.htm Here is a list of the '59 Plymouth ...

Stefan and John, I am loving all these pictures :D Are their plans or buyers for all the Desotos or does that come later after some restoration? I know the Christine parts car has to come first to keep the $$$'s coming in. I am getting a real education on rebuilding a 361. I am glad you both (as wel...

Thanks Dick,

I suppose that is why they do not appear to fit anywhere on a '59 Plymouth!

Thanks
Curt
