    Keep the Poly, rebuild it, stroke it, mild cam, 4bbl..... absolutely a big finned classic. (Put that old hemi in an open cowl hotrod, maybe a pickup, that gets street attention.)

    • @pauljones2031
      @pauljones2031 9 месяцев назад +11

      I agree,especially if it's just a cruiser. The hemi'sgoing to be thirsty, less driveable and more work/money. And you see hemi's everywhere. But the poly is a great and often overlooked engine.

  • @jeffsr8300
    @jeffsr8300 9 месяцев назад +2

    Congrats on a great rescue, and a uneventful return trip. However I'd definitely keep the Poly. The 392 is a great swap, just not in the '59.

    Large Marge the PATINA QUEEN.. Congratulations to you and Steve for making it across America Kiwi. I'm sure all your friends in New Zealand are very proud and jealous of you mate.. As cool as HEMI would look in there, i think you owe it to the ole girl to go back with the Poly, especially since you said you can bore it that much. Look forward to seeing what you do..

    That old 59 Plymouth is a sweet ride. Glad she pulled through and got you and Steve home. Just the fact she sat for 45 years and then drove 2000 miles is amazing in itself. They definitely don't make them like that anymore! I would just rebuild the old poly and enjoy her for what she is. Hope you have miles of smiles driving her. 😀

    Seems like Marge is happy to be in Tennessee!!! 15 miles over the border and she brings the dash lights to life!!! Another few weeks and she might quit fouling plugs!

    My nephew doesn't like Buckys because they don't allow truck parking.
    only time I have been in Memphis was a stop at the buss depot on my one and only long bus trip
    Makes me want to drag my parents 68 Chrysler wagon out and drop a built BB Mopar back in it and go for a cross country trip again
    Keep the poly!!!

    I’d restore the original motor and mechanics / then paint it original colour . 👍🏻🇦🇺👌.

    Reckon you're right about the rain-x - I've tried it on a pitted Mini windscreen and even at speed it really didn't help much. Then again, when it's that pitted, neither do wipers.

    Well Kiwi (and crew) glad you made it safely home 😀. Just a suggestion, I realize it's too early to get into the restoration,but I'd do some 600 grit wet sanding on the sun-bleached fender tops, and maybe the roof/tailgate and do a color-primed paint treatment in the OEM colors to preserve the sheet metal from further corrosion, since it looks like the body is in generally decent shape, Just my .02 worth. It'll obviously take many months to do a more serious (if planned) paint job. Gotta hope you keep the original colors. You might want to talk with RUclipsr Coldwarmotors for any guidance. He's a remarkable body/paint guy who like old MoPars. BTW, there was an axle puller that was used on early MoPars (shop tool). He might also be able to offer guidance on finding a windshield.
    All the best to you and I'll be watching your progress.
