This is an amazing find that won't require much to be on the road again! It is time to let this beauty go, so don't pass up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an incredible and solid antique car for only $8,000!!!
THE GOOD: It has the 218 cu in inline-six engine and a 3-speed manual transmission. The body is in great shape and was painted about 6 years ago. The interior is also in great shape with all its knobs and handles, and all windows and doors work fine. The front and back upholstery are refinished and look wonderful. The battery is brand new, but it still can only try its best to turn over and crank once or twice before the battery gives up. Also included is the Plymouth Service Manual (the 319pp mechanic's guide from Plymouth.)
THE BAD: There are some chrome pieces which are showing wear after 51 years, but they are all there. The license plate light on the rear is cracked but will still illuminate the plate. The driver's side front window is cracked but has never shown any issues with opening or closing the door. The ignition system kills the new battery, but it can operate the lights and other electrical items first. It only has enough kick to try and turn the engine once or twice before giving out.
THE UGLY: This gem is being sold for only $8000. A minimal investment of dealing with the electrical system will immediately turn it into a running vehicle. But it is time to clear out the space in the garage, so we are letting go of this beauty for a low $8,000.
NOTE: The silver lab photo-bombing a few pictures is NOT included with the Plymouth. ;-)
