Something a little different...

The odo reads 34xxx. Hard to tell if it's been around. The car is orig from Pa and aside from some floor rot it is remarkably solid-so, it very well could be original. The sad part is vandals slashed the seats and whipped a rock through the windshield. The seller had a spare windshield. Apparently SMS has NOS upholstery. The car was apparently painted once in Pa in 1977. The car has some interesting options including padded visors, rear radio speaker, variable speed wipers/washers, convenience group inc glove box and trunk lamp. Dual rear antennas (removed and the holes filled!!) license plate frame, padded dash and power steering. Standard brakes though. Whoa!
The interior is red/black.

What on the sheet determines one of the D500 motors?

A 1959 D500 just went through Barrett-Jackson. Stunning cars, a true work of art in my opinion.

The 373 engine code. If you come across a D500 for 1959, the engine code ML382 should be stamped on the pad near the distributor. The 383 was only available as part of the D500 package (as well as the super-super rare Super D500 that had dual quads) The Carter carb should be number 2794S. Fortunately this Dodge has both the correct engine and carb! The rear suspension had 5 leaf springs.

What an awesome find!

For anyone who isn't familiar with the D-500, trust me, it is indeed "real muscle!"

Congrats.
