Brian and Sheri Welch of Ash Grove, Missouri are the lucky owners of this 1952 P23 Cranbrook Club Coupe. He and his brother-in-law Ryan Beasley completely dismantled the entire car, cut the frame and sub framed a 1988 S-10 front end. They sandblasted EVERYTHING, then sealed everything up with Z-chrome Rust Inhibiter. The flat head six would have been great but Brian went a couple steps further with a 1971 Plymouth 383 big block. The motor was bored .030, Howard Cam, Edelbrock carb, intake, headers, 727 Transmission, balanced, MSD Ignition, narrowed rear end, and on and on.... What it boils down to is this 1952 Plymouth now has 450 horsepower. Brian says that it will put you in the back seat real fast with a grin all over your face.
The car was shown in the Mopar Muscle Magazine (January 2006 issue).

Here's a photo taken the day Brian & Sheri towed their 52 Cranbrook home in 2001. They found it at a transmission shop with weeds growing all around it. After paying $500.00, this was the beginning..... What a change!

Brian gives credit to his brother Ryan, David Raper, Randy Scroggins, Larry Hendrix and the Garage Mahall Gang for their help in turning this ugly duckling into a swan.
