1962 Savoy *SAVED* from the crusher.

[abloch]

So I was doing my usual perusal of craigslist and found this listed. "1962 Plymouth Savoy /6 4 speed, make offer" Being that it was local I quickly called and went for a look. Needless to say I took it home with me.

At home with the Dart.

Floors are gone, three speed gone but I'm pretty sure this is a factory floor shift. Still trying to figure out where the power steering and power brakes came from? Build sheet was still under the back seat! More later.

Nice score... but man it is rough....

 

[snakeyes]

one hood pin :thinker:

 

[eric383]

Snakeyes, I guess the hood latch is busted and the previous owner only had 1 hood pin left. It is rough but still a cool score. Awesome!

 

[snakeyes]

no I just thought it was funny how some people make temp. repairs

Cool find!

Looks rough, but good save. Even if it's too bad to repair, there are many parts that can be salvaged. I scooped a 62 with a 4dr parts car about a month ago and have already had two requests for the trunk lid. But hopefully you can make it into a driver! Good luck with it.

Here's mine..........rough too, but going to be saved!

Nice save!. I've grown to love the '62s.

 

[Habib]

ur lucky to have 2 62s I have a nice hood if u need one

 

[mr. b]

nice find I like 62s keep us posted on your progress

There's a guy from Maine with another one just like these 2 cars.... what are the odds that all showed up in different parts of the country together like that... All you bran new 62-65 guys should start a thread together and see if anyone can tell them a part each other from the photos... it's like the mopar version of the Hanson brothers from slap shot in the last few days...

A little rough but a lot awesome. Wish there were some up here I need a parts car.

 

[nm9stheham]

Good job, dude. Hope you can get it back in some sort of shape.

I am jealous, its rough but its 2doors, very hard to find that as most got shipped to Germany Nascar as I am told. I have three 62 four doors in my family, plus the shell ofone on my garage wall!Dont fear the condition, I search e-bay motors every few days for 62 Plymouth and sort "most recent" posts so I don't have to look through 3000 items. In 5 yrs my sons now have complete stock factory examples w/all features working. I hope that encourages you. I was tryn to leave them something extra when I go to God and directed my son/s (1 quit) how to fix them.Alas today just discovered lymph probs so they most likely wont ever get to be concourse cars. But they at least got drivers+20footers! As for the guy who got kick out of temp repairs:At least they saved the car!

I want it!
