1969-1/2 Dodge Super Bee.

Here's one of the best bodies I have ever seen on a 1969 Bee. This original R4 4-speed car was super straight and rock solid. The original drivetrain is long gone and it was converted to an auto. I was drooling all over this one but it was not for sale!!!

Besides being a 440 Six Pack car it was also equipped with the tic toc tach and the cool side scoops.

1969 Dodge Coronet R/T Convertible.

Check out this 440 4-speed 3:54 dana rag. It was found in Western New York...YEAH YEAH I know that is not part of Canada but that is how far I will go to get you new material to look at every month!!!

Anyway what a cool car this was T5 Copper with white buckets, console, tic toch tach, stripe delete, rallye dash and of course the 4 gear and power top. This one has spent the last 20 years sitting outside and Mother Nature was not kind to it at all!!! I know in the pics it doesn't look bad at all but trust me she's rough underneath.

 

1947 Chrysler.

Hey here's a little change-up for you guys!

I expect you are only interested in the high performance cars of the 50-70's which is of course my first love as well.

However, I have attached a couple of photos of a 1947 Chrysler Windsor  that I drove out of a neighbours barn on October 15, 2003 to take the photo's you see.  This car has not been licenced in nearly 20 years but the current owner does drive it around the farm yard periodically to keep it running and has it regularily serviced.

This car is in original unrestored condition except for the front door panels.  There are some dings in the left rear fender and some broken chrome pieces but replacements are in the trunk!!  There are quite a few small stone chips in the 58 year old black paint. Some bubbling paint(likely rust) on lower rear corners of the front fenders.  I could not find any rust holes in the floor, rockers panels etc.  Some surface rust on the underside of the floor pan. Good solid parts car available as well. The old flathead 6 started well and ran extremely smoothly.  the Fluid Power trans worked well too.

This car is for sale and will likely be sold on EBay in early November, 2003.

There are about 75 more digital photos available if anyone is interested.
