Welcome, can you post some more pics? I see it still has the dealer badge on the trunk. Where was it from? Mark

Thanks for fixing my pic. My name is my username just backwards. Jay Parr. Here's a pic with the dealership in Greencastle Indiana, about 20 minutes from me. It spent its whole life on a farm in Fillmore Indiana till I got it 6 years ago. Now the plans begin. J

I finaly got her outside after about 8 years. Don't look too bad. Found out it does have a stuck #6 exhaust valve.

#6 out of 6, or #6 out 0f 8?! I don't think you've told us about the engine - an L-head 230, a 318 or (*gasp*) a 361?

Sorry to keep this thread going but just gotta say, I've got a 230 with fluid drive in a 49 club coupe dodge I drive a bit. And a 56 coronet with 315 powerflite, runs but needs a lot! Thanks. J
