ADDITIONAL PHOTOS FROM THE PUBLIC DOMAIN OF PHOTOBUCKET: http://s514.photobucket.com/user/redeuce/library/1955%20PLYMOUTH%20BELVEDERE The high line Belvedere appeared in showrooms in 1953, as a sub model of the Cranbrook line. In 1954 it returned as the stand alone luxury model. The problem was styling. Chrysler was struggling to shake the stodgy, post war reputation. Soon, Chrysler knew it had to make a drastic move. They spirited a promising young designer from Studebaker who had a reputation for extravagance, Virgil Exner. All Plymouths were treated to a major overhaul for the 1955 model year. He had a free, almost total reign that year. That was the first year of Exner's "Forward Look." The Belvedere returned as top-of-the-line. Plymouth
redesigned its entire line in an effort to compete with its' sister brands,
Chrysler, DeSoto, and As stated,
this restoration was performed a few
years back, but very few miles have been logged since and the car has been
garage parked. This car is not perfect, but if you take the time to view the Photobucket
file, you will see that it is a very nice example. The southern body is
straight and solid. Refinished in factory two tone Black and Red. Paint has
been buffed and has a nice shine. A few minor flaws from driving, but overall
very good condition. Glass is in very good condition. Single sport mirror.
Chrome and stainless also in very good condition. Deluxe front and rear bumpers
with bumper guards. Steel wheels with full Plymouth hubcaps. White wall tires. Engine and
engine bay are nicely detailed. Hy-Fire 259 Cu. In. V8 engine. Two barrel
carburetor mounted on cast iron intake manifold. Engine is painted the proper
silver. Correct stock components throughout, including air cleaner. Still in
the original six volt configuration. Stock exhaust manifolds. Dual exhaust.
Still charged by generator. Manual drum brakes. Power Flite automatic
transmission. Coil springs and shocks on the front. Leaf springs on the rear.
Please view the undercarriage photos carefully. Never detailed, all natural,
and solid as a rock. Trunk is also rock solid. Original trunk mat appears to be
in place. Two tone
seats with red vinyl trim. Factory pattern, in very good condition, cushions
and covers. Door panels, carpet, and package shelf in great shape. Headliner is
excellent. Inside bright work and trim is in very good condition. Factory dash
mounted shifter. Dash is very nice. All gauge faces are clear. Factory AM
radio. Factory gauges. Solid steering wheel. Door jams, seals, and
weatherstripping all very clean. Don't let

until the end of auction. Financing is available to qualified buyers at JJ

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014
We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.
'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
