Here are more details and pics for the 52 and the 48
Rare 1952 T&C wagon. According to Chrysler records a total of 1251 wagons were
build in 1951 and 1952 COMBINED.
This baby could be restored to a very unique original or turned into a super hot rod. But does need a total restore.
Old car price guides list car in this condition at $3000-$3500. Asking price is $2500.00
For more information, reply to ad with a phone number and we will be happy to give you
a call.
Body: Solid - does have some rust-through in all the typical locations - edges of fenders,
door edges, sills etc, but floor pan appears to be solid (we have not pulled seats to
confirm). All glass is intact. As far as we know all trim is there except one front fender
piece and this piece is common to the sedan so should not be that hard to find.
Interior: Interior is not bad, seats show wear but are not torn up. Headline is complete,
with one small cut over the front passenger area. All interior trim is there. Wood is in
decent shape
Drive train. Engine is 331 Hemi - one of the original hemi style engines. Engine does
NOT turn over by hand, but typically you can "break" these types of engines loose by
filling the cylinders with penetrating oil for a while. Transmission is fluid drive.
We don't have any other information on the car, we got it as part of a trade a few years
ago and my brother-in-law was going to restore it, but is now in a wheel chair and can't.
1948 Dodge Special Deluxe 2 Door Coupe with custom paint and interior
This is a really nice car, but is starting to show it's age a bit on the restore.
Body: Body is straight and rust free, although it does look like there might be a couple of
spots staring on door bottom edges. Paint is custom black with blue flames and was
done about 10 years ago. There is one spot, about the size of a quarter, on the lower
rear fender where the paint got rubbed off due to contact when the car was trailered at
one time. The car is named "SUGAR SHACK" and it is painted on the sides. There are
a few surface scratches here and there, but look as though they should polish out. The
chrome and trim pieces are in good shape. There is one spot on the rear bumper that is
bad, again it happened when the bumper rubbed during trailer transport.
Interior: Interior upholstery is a unique blue velour type fabric is a wavelike pattern.
there is one small hole in the driver's seat area and a hole in the top side of the drivers
sun visors. All interior trim pieces are there. The radio does not work. At one time it
did, but then it quit and we have never checked into why.
Drive train: Engine is the original flat head 6. Last time we ran it (last summer) it
developed a "rod knock", so may need some work. The exhaust manifold has been split
and it is running dual glass packs - gives it a unique sound. Tranny is fluid drive, manual
shift on the column or put it in third and drive like an automatic.
Extras: Car comes with lots of extra parts. There are a couple of extra engines, and
trannies, a rear end assembly, boxes full of things like generators and other parts.
There is a lot more.
In one picture, the car is shown with a custom pedal car that has been painted to match.
The car is named "SUGAR BABY". Inclusion of it in the sale is negotiable.
There is also some additional paper - ORIGINAL sales invoice, owner's manual, tags
that were on the interior knobs, etc. Also included is a 1940's map of Missouri and a
1948 Missouri license plate - if you want, you can actually title and license with this plate.
We have personalized plates that say "SGR SHK", which I think can be transferred.
I suggest if you are interested to come take a look in person. The pictures just don't do it
justice.
