my $500.00 49 plymouth im always cry'in about!

[49 club coupe]

here are a few pics i found after digging around the junk drawers in my office,i found this car in someones yard and saved up $1500. dollars to buy it and when i went to cut a deal he said the inevitable MAKE ME AN OFFER!well i kind of cheated a little because a mutual freind of ours told me about it and i did some night drive bye's, i know i know.. well my freind told me that he wanted to sell it to get it out of his yard.Before i seen it i thought maybe it was a (rust rod).my freind insisted that i could get it for 500.00 and that i should look at it.well i drove by and craped my pants when i seen it in the shape it was in!i seen my buddy the next day and said no way he will take 500.00.well long story short when he said make me an offer i thought to myself i always give more than i should at first for some of the toys ive had so i figured lets haggle,right?i said well i dont want to insult you and im not sure where to start.with a half hearted smile i said how about $500.00 dollars to start off with,thats a start.he said "A START" and just kind of glared at me.then he said you give me the money and ill give you the keys.like i said i wore two pair of bvd's that day and good thing cause,one pair was shot right there.this is a decent ride but has alot of hidden surprises as you all of the hotrod world know!you know all the OTHER mickeymouse fan club but anyway it has its flaws but its cheap enough! well i got it home dropped the tank cleaned it out got a new feul filter new plugs and drove her all last summer i probably shouldnt have because she got a bad bottom end after driving her every day 20 miles back and forth to work for 4 months.i had too.at 37 years young ive never seen a 49 plymouth coupe before and im the only one here that has one.i took her to the car show and everything what a blast any way this is what the 355 is going in,and i know its blaspheme but thats whats available and thats what its all about right,its what you got not what you want at least right now. ill keep ya posted on the transformation,and thanks guys and gals cause there aint no-one i know around here my age that is in to it and i got to learn some how! the water is knee deep and risin and im just a smillin
