What's the Body number on that sweet Poncho, does it start with 71or 27 or ??????? It looks like a cool project. I like the chop and if you make it look anything like your '52 the value will be great!!!!!!! The fleetleader 71 is correct to be 255 built and very rare

So here a pic of my 49 Pontiac Fleetleader Sedan Delivery...she's rough, but has potential. She obviously has the wrong front clip on it, but I think I know where to find one. Apparently she's one of 255 built. How much do you think the chop will affect the value? It was already done when I got her. BTW, I'm still looking for a rear door.
I may have seen a rear door on eBay but that was a while ago. I'll keep my eye open for you. The rarest thing to find is the passenger side taillight brackets, as they only came with the left side.
Does it still have the original 235 c.i. 6 cylinder?

Wow- welcome to the elite few of us who own a SD!

The front clip may still work with a hood change. Not sure but you might be able to put the Poncho grill in Chevy fenders??
