Re: [FWDLK] 1959 DeSoto Rolls Again

["W.R. Amberger" <b3nr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I posted a couple days ago about a 56 Dodge 2 door HARDTOP for sale locally. I called the guy this eve. after church and he's also got a convertible frame with a HEMI engine. He's wanting $700 obo for the car, and will work a deal for the whole sheebang. The car is complete except for missing 1 piece of chrome around the headlights. Although the motor hasn't been fired, he says he's lubed the cylinders and it rolls over w/the starter.

 

As we spoke, I remember looking at this car years ago. It was really decent, and it's been kept in a shed forever. I do remember the car being in good shape. I have his permission to give out his phone # but you will have to email me.

 

Time to move. I would grab it but don't have the space now.

Dave,

Car looks good!!  It's really starting to show the amount of BS&T you've
put into it!  Good thing we're having a friendly January too!
