Post by: Paul Jaray on December 18, 2010, 05:07:47 AM: No Jaguar bits in here.

Post by: Otto Puzzell on December 18, 2010, 05:14:18 AM: Not even the doors?

I suppose those aren't Chevy wheel covers then, either.
Title: Re: PJ - 361
Post by: Aaron65 on December 18, 2010, 02:55:49 PM: I think the doors are from an early 50s GM car, modified. The vent windows are identical to those on my '53 Buick, as are the door handles.
Title: Re: PJ - 361
Post by: Paul Jaray on December 18, 2010, 04:02:13 PM: Doors come from a '54 Chevy, cut down and adapted.
Not a word about the wheel covers, but since many parts come from different Chevys, they might be Chevy too.

Post by: Otto Puzzell on December 22, 2010, 04:11:00 AM: The dash seems to be from a C1 Corvette - is this somebody's idea of an improved Corvette?

Post by: Paul Jaray on December 22, 2010, 04:19:30 AM: Time for a front view.

Post by: Otto Puzzell on December 22, 2010, 04:20:40 AM: Eek! :o

The stance, and the side markers, and the mirrors, suggests a newer build, made to resemble a Sport Custom from the old days. That, and the wheel covers, suggests a late '70's or early '80's GM product, probably a Monte Carlo.

Post by: Paul Jaray on December 22, 2010, 05:01:55 AM: It was started in 1970 on a '64 Impala chassis..
Title: Re: PJ - 361
Post by: Vincent Vell Vet on January 03, 2011, 04:51:10 PM: Is that a Mercedes dash?
My first thought were the Monte's Carload hub craps!
Side marker lights sugest '68-on.
Looks like radial tires.
Is the front butt ugly? Why yes Vince, you are quite right! ;)

1-I don't know where the dash comes from...
2-The only not-Chevy part I know are the tail lamps
3-This car was started in 70, so your 'post 68' comment fits..
4-I agree.
5-That's why I chose a back view to get your attention...
