i have the vin too... i asked the guy for it only 5 things shud up on carfax, and it showed it as a ligit type r
heres the vin: JH4DC2315WS003061

so some one shud buy this.. cus its cheap and ligit, and he hass the pink slip, salvage, and its not one of those non repairable titles either

 

More trouble then it's worth if you ask me. Maybe someone who reaaaally wants an R will be willing to do the work. Interesting find for sure...

 

srt4mike, your build is calling. i'd love to see you save one

 

That's one wrecked R..

 

Sounds like my kinda price! LOL! I'd LOVE to see her come back to life (hell, I'd love to save ANY R in general), but it would be a monumental task. As stated before, it's probably too much work to even be worth it. BTW, I just got done helping my dad (ALL DAY) get his 49 Chrysler ready for the car show tomorrow in my hometown. He bought it for $100 last fall. He found it in some trees in the middle of nowhere. It had been kept in a shed for 28 years of its life and out in the trees for the 7 past years before he snagged it. It has come SO FAR. It's amazing! I keep giving him **** about us getting a R shell. All day I was killing my back reaching up through the dash installing the padded dash and I kept saying, "Why aren't we rebuilding an ITR?" LOL He's building a new shop with a lift and all the amenities soon, so who knows . . . These are some pics of right after he got the Chrysler. Unfortunately I don't have the very first pic of it. This is after he did the first "buff job" and "once over." Before that he actually thought it was brown! It actually looks at least 10 times better in these pics than when he first got it. I'll throw up a few pics at the car show tomorrow, so you can see the difference now. Whether we pick up a shell or I simply buy an R FINALLY, I am excited as hell to take advantage of his shop! I only live 25 miles away, so it would be a great place to work on an R. Ok . . . . back on topic . . . I can't imagine taking on a project as epic as this shell, but if anyone does they are instantly my ****ing hero!

 

wrd i would be willing to sell my R as a complete shell. Pm me if anyone is interested.

 

That 49 Chrysler reminds me a lot of my Dad's 49 Desoto. I grew up with him taking me to car shows in it. Ours was burgondy colored.

 

This just might be what im looking for

 

get it do work son! hhaha

 

this would be great for a track car project.

 

Someone will snag it for that price. Looks like a good track-ho candidate.

 

i actually seen that on craigslist too. that thing looks like it would be a ridiculous amount of work. but i have to admit, it would be really nice to see it come back to life!

 

Pics from the show as promised. Only new paint is on some of the interior pieces, rims and floor. Only work done to exterior paint was more buffing. Alright. I promise I will keep everything R related from here on out!

 

^^Gangster old school.

 

She cleans up well!

 

that's some nice work!!

 

as it sits all the "type-r" goodies are gone right? so this is just nothing more than having "type-r" written on the title right?

haha tempting, rip the k24 build out of my EG and bolt it into this shell

 

do it... do it now!

 

That Type R was in Fast and Furious 1, yo.

 

What Type R?

 

I found a type r Shell for 350 bucks

 

looks like a great project car.

 

Yeah it does look like a nice project car. I agree. Was it really in F&F or are you just pulling legs? The 49 Chrysler brings back a ton of memories. My Dad's 49 Desoto was almost identical except it had a different grill and an antique aftermarket air conditioner dealer installed under the dash.

 

I'll take one of these

 

much better condition than the one for $500.

is your garage furnished? as in carpeted wall to wall?!!!!

damn you!!! im jealous

all i have is shitty $0.99 store linoleum tile haha and i spend more time out there than in here!
