This was my '56 Plymouth. I owned it from 1978 to 1983. Brenda yelled at me when I sold it....Another one I should have kept!This message has been edited by Dave Mills on 02-11-2006 at 11:59 AM

AC: it took me two years to restore it. It was in the 1977 Johnstown Flood. I got mad at it one day because I blew a transmission seal and sold it....stupid move.

Dave - I believe that car is scheduled for the 2007 Barrett-Jackson auction,,,,,,,,should bring $65-$70K next year. I can only hope the guy who bought it from you,,,will send you a birthday card this year, lol.

Dale - ex wife #1 kept all those pictures,,,,I'm sorry for both of us. It was a black car with a white top from the factory. Guy here in Scottsdale built it in 1964, but his wife wanted him to sell it >>>> baby was due. I bought it in August of '64 and drove it back to Nebraska. After one year, I had it painted Chevy rose-plum metallic. Had it for two years until I sold it to a guy who took the motor out and put it in his racing stock car for the track. He blew the motor the first night of racing. Don't know what he did with the car body after that??? MEMORIES

With the right paint it could look good. But what is with that grill? Looks like a piranha.
