another project

[chipper]

I was aproached by a feller last week that said he had a car that he wanted to restore but hhs had it for 20 years and still not done it ask me if I would like to have it so we go look at this car wich I find out is a '41 plymouth in very good shape it was originaly an army staff car (still has the color in the door jams and under the hood.) It was then owned by paramont pictures and was in a film called New york,New york ,never saw it my self must be an oldie, and some others anyway I guess It looks like I have another pile to drag home think I'll just paint it army green put a star on it and use it. Oh and it comes with a '52 motor and fluid drive tranny ,,although this flat six sounded pretty good to me!

Cool car Chipper, and correct me if I am wrong, it was given to you???? heck what a neat old guy to realize that after 20 years he hadn't done anything to it.so give it to some body that will, great..

 

[chipper]

no it was not free but it was cheap

Aleast the fella decided that the car had to go to a home where it would get some loving. Now what are your plans, can I suggest, lowered, fender skirts, and just cruzin in it. Well done,a great find.

pro street it

cut 18'' to 24'' out of the back doors. make it a 2 door and narrow the rear-end, put in wheel tubs, a hemi and pro-street the car.[ddev

that would be a one of a kind car.

Nice solid car. I checked the internet movie cars database and came up with the following.
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?r...modelInclModel=on&modelInclChassis=on&origin=
Nothing for 1941 Plymouths in the movie New York New York, but that doesn't mean that the car wasn't in the movie, just that it's not in their database. The New York New York movie that they have listed was released in 1977.

Very cool Chip. Should clean up nicely. What are we going to do with all these projects in our back yard?! [

That's a beauty! I love that front grill, one of the nicer looking mopars from the 40s-50s. I'm pretty sure that 52 motor is virtually identical to the one in that 41. Great engines.

Those do have a beatiful front end on them. Very nice project and it runs too. Good score.
