Oh man an exciting project ahead. I'm excited maybe more excited than you for the project series. Just remember you can't take your money with you when you leave this rock so why not spend it. 🙂 thanks for this video Josh, Have a great rest of the weekend
I had two 1958 Plymouths ex Texas highway patrol four doors with the fins, around twenty five years ago, but I can’t remember if they were Savoys. They had the Commando V8 engine with three speed column shifts and dual spotlights with whip antennas. You could barely make out the State of Texas emblem on t(e doors and the words “Texas Highway Patrol”. Sold them years ago. Got them from an old man that had them parked since about 1966.
I haven't priced 50s plymouths in probably 15 years, I knew they were going up and value but I didn't realize they were getting into the '57 Chevy two-door Bel Air hardtop territory. Cool cars But I am cheap I think I would just settle for its Dodge sibling lol
They're past '57 Chevys. A rusty '57 Chevy 4 door is $2500. A rusty Plymouth '4 door is $7000. There is a guy right now with a complete, but unrestored '57 Fury, with a lot of options, that wants $50k for it and will prob get close to that.
@@QuickSpeedShop it's got to be because of the movie. 57/58 plymouths are great looking cars especially as hardtops but all Virgil Exner cars are good looking although I have a soft spot for just about all 1950s stuff so I guess my opinion is biased. I am looking forward to watching you fix this one up.
I think it would work with the insulator. Without it the axle doesn't clamp tight to the springs. I have no idea if the pinion angle is correct though.
Doors are the same with minor surgery to swap from post to hardtop. Hardtop roof 1" lower and shorter, but a little surgery and it fits. Dodge, Desoto, Plymouth, Chrysler roof lines and basic cabins all the same '57-'59. None of the outer skins are the same.
Wow shit these cars are getting expensive ive got a 58 savoy 4 dr sedan complete RHD im in new Zealand I paid 2k for it with engine and 3 speed manual rare here to I was hoping I could sorce some panel parts
No way! The hardtop looks so much better. The designers missed the mark with the post roofline and post leaning forward when the rest of the car is leaning backward. The hardtop is 10 times better looking.
Hay Josh don't know if you follow @coldwarmotors but he is into the bring back to life dodge and Plymouth cars like your 57,58 check him out has lots of content going back years ! John
@@QuickSpeedShop Yes he has done some major work on a those wing cars and brought them back to life they are beautiful when they are done ! Even did some boogie van stuff !
Great find in both cars... The 57-58 Plymouth brings me back to my younger years riding to Ohio to visit relatives... FUN build to come!!!
I hope to get this pile of junk on the road to cruise again.
Love the look of the '57 to '59 Plymouths. Good luck with them.

I'm excited to take junk and junk and come out in the end with half junk and no money! 😬
Good luck with this project !
It's going to be a big one!
I approve of this project 👍
Awesome
👍🏻Oh boy… she is a project for sure…. Paint it black and hit the track, can’t recall where I heard that from…..
I say it, but i stole it from Lucky on Hot Rod Garage!

That's amazing!
You got a tiger by the tail with that one. Interesting to see the finished car. Good luck.
It'll be a big job, but I think it will be worth it.
@@QuickSpeedShop yes it will be. You don’t see too many Chrysler products those years still going.
gonna be a nice ride, ever see coldwar motors? they spliced a 60 fury togrther turned out WOW!!!
Yeah, I've seen some of their stuff. Pretty amazing what they did with that car!
Two door post car for me. Hardtops are as common as muck.
The hardtop is 10 times more attractive and sleek compared to the post.

Can you imagine all the cases of Gennie it may have carried 😳
A lot!
If you didn't use the insulator do you think the GM rear axle could be used permanently? I have a 58 and a posi off a 79 trans am

Такие проекты трудно осуществлять в одиночку ,нужна команда
Sometimes.
Door height and length? Good luck. Any possible use of Dodge or DeSoto components?

When did rust get started to be called patina. Dont get the appeal.
Hey how common are these 57 58 Plymouths over there
Near me? Very uncommon. They all rusted away years ago.

They are very expensive. Big M Autoparts California is about the only place left that has body panels on mostly rust free cars.
man fix the post car
The whole vid was about how I'm going to fix the post and turn it into the hardtop.
@@QuickSpeedShop except would keep it a post car was what i meant

Thanks John. I've watched a few of their videos. They got that really rough Savoy hardtop.
