Hi Chris. Thanks. I think I deleted those vids. I have a few, and will hunt them out to re-upload. Some are quite shaky, as my nerves were shot after getting lung blood clots from a broken ankle. All better now, so I may do some more. Greetings from Christchurch New Zealand. Home of the 7.3 'quakes. I was in CA for the big one in '89. Paul.
In godzone a little Mopar Heaven. Though all rare and beautiful, the 61 DeSoto has to be a standout. Last of the Mohicans. I'm a real fan of all these cars, though lesser with the 2006 300. Real neat the 60 Polaris or Matador? That 55 DeSoto is that the Fireflite or Firedome, could'nt quite read the script . Yep and of course the 59 Impala? Though the General's 59 Flattops are a favorite of mine too. Thank you for sharing this neat little collection.
Hi. The '55 is a Fireflite CORONADO. 2 speed Powerflite, lever control. Original paint, low miles.... 33,000 approx. The '67 New Yorker is a 440 car. The '61 DeSoto is so rusted out, the owner has located another body. The white '60 Dodge is a Matador. 4 bbl 383 car. Needs complete resto. The owner has 30 '57 to '61 Mopars. Some rough, but most low mileage and super tidy. I have some more vids of other cars...I'll hunt them out. I only mentioned the 2006 300, as it has the bigger engine. The '59 Impala drives really well. HD shocks tamed the 4 coils.
Thanks Gary. The '59 Chev drives great. I replaced every ball and bush and steering box and p/s ram, and added h/d shocks. Sadly, the black '61 DeSoto coupe is too far gone with rust. A replacement body is in the pipeline. In New Zealand zero rust is allowed, to be put on the road. Especially an imported car. As all these were.
Hi. Several obstacles to that. First, this vehicle is in New Zealand. (I know not your location.) Second, it's not my car, and the owner has moved 600 miles away. But I shall ask him, although I seem to remember he was talking $120k ( NZ ) in 2020, as he loves the car. In fact, he has around 30 of these type cars. Paul.
Be aware that another attempt to spam/hack me on my other car vid will result in my videos changing to 'comments disallowed', and that'd be a shame. Intelligent comments like caspaabriel are great.

Thanks for showing this beautiful Dodge!
it's my pleasure. Thanks. They sure are an amazing looking car. Sadly, gas is almost $14 a gallon here.
Thank you for sharing. I have also seen your video of the black 61 DeSoto a while back. Greetings from Huntington Beach California

THESE cars were awesome !!!!!!!!!!
True. Today, with good shocks, and good radial tires, they're able to compete with today's traffic. Thanks.
They always shall be
The forward look exemplified with striking two tone. And straight in front of one rare 1961 DeSoto. With the wild one (1959 Chevrolet)off to her right

Is it possible to make an offer to purchase this vehicle? Please advise. Subscriber, thumbs up.
