It's not a b-body but it's a Mopar. Maybe the oldest one here?

1917 Dodge Brothers open touring phateon
Solid frame suspension and body. Front wheels are original wood spokes.

It may be awhile before I get to it but I have a slant 6 3 speed and 8 3/4 and plenty of other parts to throw in and make a rat rod.
I traded my lawn tractor with plow, 2 t-bucket frames and a flat head intake for it. It makes a good lawn ornament for now.

Years back when divorcing I had to sell my barn find 1923 Chevy Roadster..............was pretty upset. I was building a nice 409 to make a sweet ride.

I hope after I finish the Viper Bee I can do an old style hotrod.
 
I had to sell my 1927 Nash Light Six sedan to pay a traffic ticket that I got after helping a friend adjust his shift rods he had bent in his 65 Barracuda Formula S fastback. Long story............. I was the 3rd owner of the Nash and the guy I sold it to still has hit. 51 years later.

Truly a rare car!

Dodge Brothers was founded in 1914 I believe.

Ok, I picked up the /6 and 3 speed this weekend for it. It's covered up until spring.
 
That's what I'd love to find for my next project! Very cool.
 
I'm asking 14k obo. I'm the 3rd owner. Its licensed and registered. Has been a Cali car since it was made. I always picture it with a couple of guys in pinstripe suits wearing fedoras, packing tommy guns, standing on the running boards as its rolling[ it does run] down the road. The car does need work. Hey, its 87 years old! But it hasn't been run through the demolition derby of life.
 
Nope. It's my fun project.
Wanta sell or trade the 1917?
