If if sells, I know where I can get a 57 dodge 4 door. Will have the biggest, meanest 440 I can build stuffed in it. Long live rumpety cams!

Cool! I only know 3 1957 Dodge's here in the Netherlands. It's a great car.
You must like Christian Zappa's site. He is in the process of restoring a 57 Dodge.

6500?? That's not expensive! Be sure to find a good home for it
Someone who will not custumize it completly. That would be my worst nightmare
Original, mostly, for now!

Ok Guys. Just so you know, I am wanting to sell this car so I can buy one to customize. I felt guilty about doing a ton of mods to this car. However, it is becoming apparently obvious to me that no one really cars about this car in its current, nearly stock state. So, if I don't have a buyer soon, I will be forced to start changing this one severely. Why? Cause that is what I wanted to do in the first place, but I felt guilty due to the condition of this car. So, since no one really seems to want it as it is, I am going to begin to decide what changes to make to it that would make me want to keep the car. First off, you can be rest assured, the fresh rebuilt poly engine will be out of there. Eh, anyway, I will post more later. Just seems that apparently, there is no love for old 4 doors in good condition.
Cost!
