Metal Detecting a 1953 Dodge

[jolteon]

Are these the speakers? If not what are they? What ever they are, are they rare? Any information about anything of the car would be appreciated.

those are the horns....not rare.might get $100 scraping all that iron....and with a clean site you might find some coins.

Scraping and slims wiring do u mean?

 

[wainzoid]

Nice find, thanks for sharing.

Speaking of coins, take a look at where the drivers seat is or was. People often have money fall from their pockets in cars. Plus they would be silver in 53.

Good point but it is full of junk from the eroted car. I will check there soon. One of you think it is a horn why? Why not a speaker? Do u have information? May I see the info if there is any? Why do u think they are 100$? Are mine?

 

[jolteon]

It is

As stated they are the horns, the old cars usually had two. Not rare at all and no value.

 

[jolteon]

Ok thanks for the information!

the frame,body parts,motor,scrap them for about $10.00 per 100 lb...throw the horns on top of the other metal for an extra 10 cents.looks like $120 laying around to me.....

Having managed an auto salvage yard in a previous life I can tell you that if you have the spare time and the desire to separate various components you will make out better than scrapping it whole. For example the starter & generator will scrap as electric motors and pay a premium. The engine pays more as well. Transmission will go for the same per pound as the engine assuming that in those years they were still cast steel & not aluminum. Body will sell for a lower price than the frame & rear axle which are both considered either #1 or #2 unprepared steel. Any aluminum parts will bring more as well. Radiator & heater core are Copper. Strip out any wiring as well and keep it separate. You're young. Take the time to dismantle it and haul it in separated and you might have $300 there.

agree with NHBandit, the engine block, tranny housing, rearend housing, are harder to find
the other vid at your utube channel, shows the engine better, and it looks like 6 cyl. Flathead
to bad not a hemi, but the flathead 6 was a work horse, and still a wanted engine block
some info
Flat Head Engines: Plymouth-Dodge-DeSoto-Chrysler Six and Eight

Did dodge make rare parts that could be desirable?
