Hi everyone, and thanks for your welcome. I didn't think that the small text I wrote while creating my account would become my first message here, so excuse me for the (very) short words ! ... So here is a longer version

I've been patiently restoring over the last decade a '58 Plymouth Belvedere 2-door hardtop, and she's great. I've been finally able to license it last spring, and already made 700 miles with it. A few little things still to be done, but it's almost over.

So, time to think about another car ! ... I'm a Mopar man. Definitely. And right after the Forward Look years, the period I like the most is the Fuselage era. So I'll be lurking around here to find me a Fuselage 2-door hardtop. Preferably a 1970 model, but I'm quite open.

Thanks !

That car looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Not sure from your description above if you are looking for a project or something essentially complete. There is a 70 Polara major project being discussed in a thread on this board as we speak.

Thanks.
Here's another one.

The car has the a 318 with dual quad carbs, power brakes, power steering and power windows.
I do have the bumper wings, but they need to be rechromed, and I have postponed that for the moment.

I cannot hide the fact that my restoration was a loooong one. Very long. Too long.
It was a big project. The car was totally disassembled, and I had cardboards and cardboards of parts.

So ideally I would be looking for a driver, with maybe some work needed.
Although, if a really good occasion came along (let's say a '70 Plymouth Sport Fury GT ... ), I would probably go for a project too.
But a complete one. And not disassembled. Never again.

Well, I do love the '70 cars.
So far, my search is focused on a 2-door hardtop Plymouth Sport Fury or Chrysler 300.

Your car is stunning, is that its original color?

 

[Chrome58]

Yes.
That's Arctic Turquoise.

That is an awesome 58 Plymouth you have! And restoring it in Belgium is no small feat! Congratulations and welcome!
