Will This Spooky 1957 Plymouth Belvedere Convertible Run And Drive Again After Decades In Pieces?

[@jakespeed63]

These cars are not for the faint of heart. I applaud your enthusiasm for fixing it. She could be a real thing of beauty when Don, all you need is the rest of your life and the rest of your money. Seriously, I went round and round with one of these push button transmissions. They are fixable with some work. Fatsco transmissions in New Jersey, has any parts you might need.

[@jerrygallery2101]

Awsome car ! My 57/58 sport coupe started out in similer shape ,but after using three and a half cars I ended up with a fantastic cruser. Your cluster is a 57 as it is gold with dots. The 58 is silver with stars. Your horn ring is 58, the 57 had a gold center. There never was a Fury convertible in 56 thrugh 58. In 59 there was a convertible but it was a Sport Fury ! Good luck with this really cool project. The frame shouldn't be a major proublem if you can find a doner car, any 57,58 or 59 will work ! A Dodge or other Chrysler car may also be the same as far as the front of the frame goes !

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

We knew it was kind of a mix of parts. And did learn about the dots vs stars on the cluster in the comments here. Thanks!

[@JeffMiletich]

That 57 is a beauty! My grandparents had a 1958 Fury for an extended test drive- they were looking to trade in their 1955 Studebaker 4 door, yellow with a dark navy blue roof.. They didn't buy this beautiful 1958 Fury- instead they bought a 1958 Studebaker 2 door hardtop- light pink with a white roof- and the antenna was in the middle of the trunk. Their next new car was a 1964 Belvedere 4 door. slant 6 & was the car I first drove around the town(Superior, wi) when I was 11 years old.. My grandparents stayed with Chrysler products for the rest of their lives.

The forward look Mopars are so scarce that when you find something this decent and especially a ragtop, it really deserves to be restored, or at least brought back to life and drivable. It definitely has some challenges, but it's a piece of Mopar history. I like the 57s because my dad had a 57 Fury 3 speed manual 318 dual quads. It was a bit before my time, but I saw pics of it and lots of cool stories.

[@KiwiStag74]

I don't wanna be put in the category of people who a) point out the obvious or b( tell you that you're doing something wrong, ok? However, I noted when you first turned the key and mentioned the fuel gauge moved, that the gauge went down, not up when the dash lights came on. Any chance the Belvedere might be a positive ground not a negative ground? Loved how that engine sounded better and better the longer she cranked and then she had all eight and actually idled too. Love the sound of the 318 too - a pity the shifter didn't play ball and sad that the frame is a bit shagged about. Would have been fun to see that back on the road.... My aunt had a '55 Belvedere - one of 17 made by Plymouth for the Canadian market that were redirected to be sold new in New Zealand. Some say that they were all green. What I DO know is my aunt's one was a pale green with a white top and she ran the little HyFire V8....although that thing could really boogie when my aunt floored it.....which she invariably did because she loved the sound of the beast when she wound up and crackled out of her dual pipes. I remember the unusual looking air vents and the trans shifter that stuck out the dashboard, but I loved the styling of the knobs and dials and the look of the car overall - even as young as I was then. So much so that I would sneak out and wash it whenever she visited, just so I could spend some more time around it! The car was so different to the Australian and British made vehicles I was familiar with and which dominated the driveway of my childhood home and I thought it needed to be treated a bit special as a result. Thus began my love of Chrysler product at the tender age of seven years old!

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

No, when Chrysler went 12v, they went negative ground - in all applications, as far as I know. That was not the case with all 12v systems from other manufacturers. Their 6v systems were indeed positive ground. The gauge going down would be a function of the sending unit. In all likelihood, it’s shot.

[@livinglikarockstar]

Cable shift in my 65 Fury was worn out when purchased. Leaked like a sieve from unobtainable cracked shift cables. Wanted to upgrade but to my demise was strongly suggested to rebuild original cable shift, bad mistake. "Something" never really found out what, was wrong with the case. Specialists "tried" to fix it. As well, the valve body was cracked as these early style cable style are prone. brother had a replacement, cracked as well. 5 months and $1200 later, i trailered back to the house, although i drove to the "trans specialists" home shop. Found a replacement from a 1972 (71 and up are the best 727, larger front bushing) motorhome in south ga for $150 including converter. 7 years later with a b&m star shift shifter still pulls fine, no rebuild. Do yourself a favor, ditch the cable style. Good video. To bad about the axle, stuff happens...

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Oh I’m confident the valve body in this one will be cracked too. We have some other ideas…

[@1575murray]

That cable shift in 1965 was a one year only setup as Chrysler went to a column shift after using push buttons from 1956-64. In 1966 Chrysler went to a conventional linkage setup.

[@66skate]

That shift cable is tricky to remove. There's a clip inside that needs to be released while pulling on the cable. The service manual shows using a small screwdriver to find the clip. I've done it on a 60 Imperial. A total PITA.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Yep. I was just getting to that step when I learned I couldn’t pull the cable out of the transmission in the car enough because the valve body is seized…

The 1957 instrument cluster aluminum backing plate had dots, same as the aluminum plates down were the key switch and wiper switch are. The 1958 had little stars, the push button plate you showed in the vid at 6:42 came from a 1958 it had stars. If it had the original 2sd power flite or 3sd cast-iron Torque flite transmission those didn't have a parking gear, you just had to use the parking brake. the 3sd had a neutral safety switch feature were to start the motor, switch the ignition to on and then push the neutral push button starter switch.

[@MidnightOilsRestoration]

Yes! That’s what I was thinking too, I worked on a 62-63’~ that required the parking brake, and I thought it just had neutral 🤔. I didn’t say anything because I’m not that versed with the push buttons… From what I remember the old timers saying- the push button transmissions rarely had problems..until the parking pall was put into the transmission which put a lot of binding on the sprag/case from holding the weight of the car all the time-instead of the parking brake, but I thought that was around like 64~ ish🤷🏻‍♂️.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

Cool! I will look for stars. Someone else mentioned that too. Yes, I made mention of the lack of park in the video - they have no park position and use a tail housing / driveshaft brake. That’s also why I said the brake handle does nothing, because the parking brake left the building with the original transmission.

I recently sold my 57 Plaza 2dr Sedan (354 HEMI/4 speed) so definitely enjoyed this video. At least there is some hope with the later aluminum transmission and it's a lot easier to work with than the the original style cast iron version. It's shame about the frame.

[@SuperMAZ007]

One of the coolest finds ever. They made only a limited number of these convertibles for 57 and 58 respectively. Make sure it has floors left to attach the rest of the car. Usually the back side is just rusty has heck on these. Might not be the case with this one. I think this one might have been a stick shift with a inline 6 under the hood? Why such odd configuration no idea. Might have been the case someone ordered a car like that from the dealer? Usually the accelerator pump is the main issue on these 2 barrel carburetors. I think you need some part donors but over all you should be able to fix the horrible and swanky repairs over time.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

I have intimate knowledge of these two barrels, but we’re going to fix everything wrong with this one by installing dual quads. We have a complete Fury dual quad setup. As I understand, this Belvedere would have been V8 only? Or so I read somewhere. I really think someone ordered this wanting a convertible that looked like a Fury but wasn’t. The rust bug somehow missed the back end of this car. I’m not sure how. Whatever the case, this thing is a sound restoration candidate.

[@SuperMAZ007]

@@DeadDodgeGarage Every carburetor is foolproof until it's not.🤣 At least the 2 barrel is repairable unlike some cursed Holly's. I'm not sure but for a 4 barrel you do need the right intake and these can be very different depending on the engine displacement size. Savoy was the bottom line model and these would have come with inline 6 engines? Unless this is a weird Canadian made car. The VIN number should be a giveaway. So apparently a stick shift V8 is possible but rare option still. There are collectors who seek these cars not to mention this will attract attention anywhere. Looking forward for the next videos and am here to help if I can.

If you had actually watched the video you're commenting on, you would know that I know all of that, and also that I explained in the video that this is a later drivetrain. Also, you are incorrect on your last point. The 727 had a rear pump through 1965. This is a fact easily verified in many ways (reading could work, thumbing through a service manual, or even watching videos of people push starting their 62-65 cars as I have) but I suppose a quick and convenient way is the mere existence of MoPar part number 2464383 - "1962-1965 A727 Rear Oil Pump Housing."

@@DeadDodgeGarage Wrong color and model for Christine. My 1963 Fury, Sherry, Sherry Baby, is her younger sister. They have the same personality.

Jamie is this car worth more stock ? It would be a great restoe mod . Maybe a frame swap and a hemi ?

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

To me, it will always be worth more stock. Prices for these things are pretty strong, thanks to the Christine connection I’m sure.
