It sure could, if it was closer I'd have to consider
it at that reserve!
The seller doesn't appear to understand this kind of
car. Being a Coronet 4dr this one's unlikely to get
the rod-and big-block treatment. I do think this is a
US-market car, and therefore rare in Canada. (Bill? I
knew "Coronet in Canada" would get your attention...)
Usual Canadian Dodge practice during the '50s was to
offer a topline Dodge similar to the American topline
(Custom Royal and/or CR Lancer in '55) with a line of
Plymouth equivalents making up the lower range of
Canadian Dodge offerings.
Didn't someone recently mention the availability of
230 crate motors from one of the forkilft
manufacturers?
