1937 Vintage 1954 RAT Rockabilly Cruiser

THIS IS A 2 CAR PACKAGE NOT 1 OR THE OTHER. BOTH TOGETHER WILL NOT BE SEPARATED. PRICE/OFFERS IS FOR BOTH TOGETHER AS A PAIR NOT INDIVIDUALLY. SO KEEP IN MIND IF YOU CHOOSE TO YOU ARE BUYING TWO CARS AS A PACKAGE NOT 1 OR THE OTHER.  If your a proud and passionate Aussie and you love Vintage. hot rods & or rat rods car scene then this is for you. an affordable way to start a cool car collection or add to an already existing one. Here are 2 cars from my collection up for sale as a pair to be sold together not separate. Like most enthusiasts if you love the style & look of 32' - 34' Chevy or fords and 50's sled/rat/rockabilly cruisers this is right up your alley. these are not those exact models but the same styles and looks for a 1/4 to 1/8th of the price. My pride of this collection is the fact that being a proud Aussie that both of these cars are actually Australian made both of them. They are 37' Holden and a 54' Plymouth. the first of the pair is my 37' Holden. it is actually a 1937 Vauxhall/Holden the engine and chassis was made in England by Vauxhall then shipped to Australia where the Holden body builders made the bodies and rest of the car until completion which they did back then before Holden made their own cars. most would be aware that Holden before the fx and fj's where just body builders. It is a original 6 cylinder and 4 spd gearbox. The 37' is a 4 door suicide doors and is of fair original condition and a runner. missing only rear window glass roof lining kick panels and door trims could be re-done. paint is also of average condition tidy but can notice imperfections in the sheen could do with tidy respray. The older guy i bought it from found it approx 35 years ago in pieces under a house in Brisbane then spent 30 years rebuilding and restoring to a complete working condition NOT SHOW.  Is a runner but due to being 76 years old. carby does leak and would have to be rebuilt and surfaces machined to stop leaking. do have 2 other spare carby's with it as donors. Rear window glass is missing but do have the rubber for it though. is flat glass so only need to be sized then cut by glazier. is missing roof lining and kick panels. and door trims will have to be replaced but carpet and seats are in good condition. seats where reupholstered few years back. most recent work carried out on the 37' to my knowledge was four new tyres. new mechanical brake shoes and new rings in engine all done about 6-7 years ago by previous owner. does blow smoke on occasion so most likely be caused by carby issues and hopefully not rings. Not Registered only for my own collection use only. "just sits in the corner and looks good" is my saying as my only intentions for it was to do just that and be part of mine and my family's collection for generations to come. The Plymouth is a 1954 model which is original looking on the outside except for sitting couple inches lower and 16" wheels. paint is fair to good cond with only minor defects being a small chip 15mm x 30mm approx in the centre of drivers door. a minor scratch approx 20 cm long on pass front gaurd and about 4 spots that look to have been wet and dry sanded which would require some cut & polish. Seats. door trims and kick panels reupholstered few years ago unsure of when but don't look to old there blue and white which look great but does require new roof lining and carpet to match & complete. Dash and window trims are currently in the process of being painted in a off white to match the rest of the interior. The drive train though has been completely ratted/modified/upgraded how ever you call it. instead of the original 6cyl 3spd drum brake all round assembly it now houses a 302 windsor. 5 speed gearbox. ford lsd borg warner i think. and complete disc brake conversion all round with slotted rotors up front hence the 16" rims as can no longer fit original size 14" rims. Does require new tail-shaft though as the one made turned out to be approx 50mm to short and the yoke doesn't house into box confidently enough. Still requires pedal assembly accel/brake/clutch. brake lines completed and brake booster. alternator and pulley set up for front of windsor. radiator. and electrical work. but overall a awesome looking car staring at the finish line just needs a little work required to finish and be a driver. I personally was just going to finish it off throw some maltese/rat mirrors on. spinner rod hubcaps and white wall tyres and then cruise but due to new family interests have chosen to say goodbye and invest into up and coming family projects. The Plymouth does come with spares like 5x spare windscreens a mix of front and rear. spare bits and pieces of chrome work. lenses. spare dash. original 6cyl radiator but obviously wont be sufficient with V8 but a good template for what space/cores you want to work with. and other misc spare items. In these photos the front windscreen is not in the Plymouth but is in the collection of parts along with its rubber.
