This car is rare, very rare! 1955 Dodge Wagon New Zealand new, yes NZ New. Makes this baby a factory right hand drive that has live all its life in NZ. A previous owner took it off the road in 1986 for a full rebuild. He dropped in a later 318 V8 but never finished it. I found it in a shed in lots of pieces but with no rust in it at all, not a bit! As it was all apart we took it further and lifted body from chassis and gave that a going over with fresh new paint. Under side has all new sealer on, an easy job to do while it was on rotisserie.
This car is full of character with a stylish front. Custom green paint has a fine metallic that makes this car really spring to the eye and brings out the chrome nice. Has a later 318 and a Falcon dif sitting on Ford wheels. I still do have the original wheels and hub-caps. I may put some white wall tyres on? See how that goes?
We carried the silver from the chassis through to the engine to give it that clean look. I think it looks really nice
New Dash will be going in here with all new gauges
Stylish back end, this car just has it all!
With the back seat folded down there is so much room! Some new upholstery and Hood lining this car will have the "new" feel inside as well as out!
Body off chassis makes getting into the hard places alot easier and you know this is a fresh rebuild in every spot!
