This 51 Plymouth 2 door showed up at our downtown meet, the man just put the for sale sign on it. I checked it out, drove it, odometer says 18000 miles, but I will be damned if it hadn't just turned over once.
He drove it from Clermont, Florida, about an hour ride, and this is the second time he brought it, now for sale. This thing is solid with no rust, the doors shut like a vault, the steering had no play at all. The window regulators show no wear.
Flat head 6, 3 on tree, front seat needs work and headliner starting to fall. it was a little futzy running, I think carb check, slight leak, and the timing may be retarded, or vac advance needs replaced. It was painted red, but the original color is a denim blue.
He is asking 6000, but will take 5000...... It may show up on craigslist this week.

you can always go to a meeting after , I think lowbudget50 has them weekly. 
Not as highly desired as the Fords and Chevys, but decent cars that are usually priced well. That flathead six is pretty much bullet proof, even if it's not fast.
