hahah yep! we gotta find the gas powered karts too. None of that electric junk! I raced an electric kart once and did you know they can wirelessly turn the governor on!!!! I was rock'n and roll'in smashing up against my buddies then all of a sudden the damn thing kicked down to half power.. guess th...

HAhahahaah! I agree. I bought the Savoy (aka Sid) to be a down dirty fun driver that I can put together with the bits and parts I have and not worry about "factory correct-ness" and just make it a road trip car, grocery-git'er, and occasional Daily driver. Now for the less fun news I have operationa...

Looks great!!!! I cant wait to see the completed project! I will for sure order one! For that price I might order 2 ! seems like a pretty good deal!

HA! Dan, Dick that sounds like pretty good idea! Seeing how I have received orders to the USS Iwo Jima, Home port Mayport FL (Jacksonville Fl area), Dick sounds like were practically gonna be neighbors! :D :D :D I will be heading that way in June, cant wait to experience a little bit of the Florida ...

So, BIG NEWS in the Walker house hold. After 3 years over seas we have orders state side 8) This June i will be reporting in to the USS Iwo Jima, Home Ported out of Mayport FL (just out side Jacksonville Fl). This is AWESOME news! As much as i enjoy the weather and car culture of SoCal its WAY WAY W...

I have a question that ties in with this. I know the LA plant was really just an assembly plant, meaning that the parts were brought in by train in the form of "knock down kits" i.e parts. then assembled. I have a video of this process and it shows them off loading complete engines, rear ends, trans...

I know this is an old post last touched several years ago. I am going through the same process of researching these paint colors since my Jade is going to need all the interior repainted eventually and I am not having a lot of luck finding the modern day equivalent by paint code. Suppose I will just...

Saw the other day that this wagon is yet again up for sale on FB. Alltho the price has crept up a weee bit to the tune of $19,000! :o its a good looking wagon for sure, but I am pretty sure it sold for around 14k on ebay (after several postings and reposting's and price drops). That must of been one...

very interested in how your re-anodizing goes. 173 days ta go. Ya don't need trim to drive it to the show ;) just say'in lol! I am sure once all the pieces are shinny and new they will practically install them selves. And if Matthew is there giving a hand how could it not be show ready in time :D Lo...

That is a relief! Nothing is more stressful than having a car and having difficulty with the DMV about transferring a title. Glad it worked out. Interesting that they used the engine SN for the title from the factory. I can see where that would cause serious issues after an engine swap or two. Happy...

That is a good look'in wagon! Matthew and I have been talking about it, he has known the last several owners. It was posted on eBay a couple times, and sold for what I thought was a decent enough price. Glad to see the mechanical issues worked out. She looks great going down the road

Matthew is right! You can put me down for a room! I'm going to register the Savoy for the car show. Hopefully this will motivate me to use up some leave and get some work done on it

I'm just happy to see another 59 Plymouth getting some love. Also, check out Johns Plymouth's. He owns "Big M Auto" and is hands down the best source for parts!!!

Speedfreek, hopefully you can bring your SF to Carlisle this year for the 60th Anniversary of our 59 Plymouth's ! Dan (Faulkner) is the driving force behind rallying as many 59 Plymouth's as we can for this year! Lots of whitty banter and info about it in the "what's new" forum.
