Here's one -- http://www.adirondackdodgeparts.com/prod01.htm They're going to be about as easy to work on as any vehicle from that period. If you have no experience with drum brakes and flathead engines, there will be a steep learning curve. From what's shown, the hardtop vehicle seems to be in better condition. It looks like the front driveshaft on the other one is disconnected from the front axle. I noticed there are no photos of the engine compartment for either. That's a bad sign to me, and I would want to take a good look at these before bidding.

Thanks George,
I have a couple weeks to think it over, so I will continue to educate myself. Thanks for the information and help.
