[FWDLK] fs 1957 dodge custom royal lancer

[Fern Rivard <crc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:

   I was wondering as to why I had not seen any traffic to do with the 
forward look list and found out that somehow I had been bumped off the 
list.

   I have a very solid 1957 dodge custom royal lancer 2 dr ht that I've 
had full intentions to restore but unfortunately I have other projects 
in the way that have to be taken care off first. Here are some of the 
basic details of the car:
1) it's a canadian built car so would have had the 313 poly engine in it 
with the cast iron 3 speed automatic tranny.
2) The tri colour paint combination is red, sahara dune beige with white 
roof
3) The only rust on the car is in the rocker panels but I do have a 
replacement set for it.
4) The padded dash assembly is intact
5) the headliner(which is cardboard in those cars) is also intact
6) the rear seat and rear seat package are in nice condition.
7) although the car was missing the front bench seat, I do have a power 
swivel seat that I got from a 1959 car presently sitting in the car plus 
my 1957 dodge coronet parts car has an original bench seat (non power) 
that could also be used for the purists.
8) the car will require a full restoration.
9) my plan was to install a very stron running 413 engine from my donor 
64 new yorker c/w with aluminum case 727 tranny as well as transfer the 
complete front end suspension from the chrysler unto the 57 dodge in 
order to have the much larger brakes. The same could be done with the 
rear end assembly although those off a 65 or newer chrysler would be 
preferable to eliminate the older type tappered axles which are still 
used on the 64 chryslers.
   I have lots of photos that I can supply to anyone interested plus a 
lot of NOS parts such as lenses, etc that are available to the purchaser 
of the car. I  am located in south eastern British Columbia which is 
about 50 miles due north from the Idaho/Montana borders.

   Thanks from Fern
