1956 541 for sale - needs full resto

Post by Per »

Engine and gearbox missing, I intended to rebuild with a Chrysler 318 and torqueflite. That engine and 'box can come with the car, needs rebuild as they have been sitting for some 15 years. Still turns and no problems, was pulled from a Charger that received a 383. Too many projects so trying to cull a bit.

This is the car that came with no papers and a fake ID when I bought it. It now exists with DVLA with correct chassis number, after i spent 14 months tracing the history across Europe. It is noted as untaxed but strangely no export marker. (It was exported via a freight company over Immingham.)

Seats are there, leather on front seats and possibly rear seat salvageable but after a nut and bol resto I think I would replace the lot.

It comes with new front and rear screens.

Asking GBP 4,000.-

How did this one escape the famed knacker's yard. 4K? Perhaps DPP will take it on and rebuild to a full project required standard. kenny38 :shock:

I think the only reason it escaped is the fibre glass body. Incidentally the doors are good, minimal rust. And stainless bumpers will be the way to go.

With the V8?
