    Cool Mopar Newbie here

     



    Hello fellow Hot Rodders. Just joined the site and wanted to post a few pic's of my ride. It's a 39 DeSoto 4 door sedan. It's powered by a DeSoto Hemi engine out of a 56. It's 330 ci and 350 horse, backed by a Dodge A-518 od tranny. Makes for a nice ride down the highway.

    Great looking ride, De Soto. Congrats on a job well done and not caving into the 350/350 temptation. The hemi really looks, and I would imagine works, quite well.

    A DeSoto in a DeSoto, I love it. Nice to see you didnt go the normal root an put in a chevy. When you have a different car it makes sence to put something that is not always used. I wish I had a red ram for my dodge truck. Good luck with your odd rod.
