Christine ** 1958 Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe***rare Chance To Own A Legend* on 2040-cars
Sarver, Pennsylvania, United States

1958 Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe--- Attention “Christine” fans and “Forward-Look” lovers: Here is your chance to own a rare piece of Mopar history. These do not pop up very often for sale. In fact I don’t even want to sell it, but due to a change in demands at my job and with my family, I just do not have time to complete this project. The car does start, and runs just fine, but is not yet drivable. It will need towed from my garage if it sells. History: I purchased this vehicle almost four years ago from the state of Indiana. It was without an engine and not in running condition. The car was originally a 318 wide-block poly engine with the cast-iron Torqueflite three speed automatic. I do not have the 318, as it was shot and hardly worth restoring to me, but I still have the original transmission. The Plymouth has an older restoration to the body. Some panels have some bondo in them. The paint is pretty good for its age. It shows beautifully. There are a few tiny nicks here and there as the fella I bought it from did enjoy driving it whenever weather permitted. It has always been stored in a garage. I hold a clear Pennsylvania title for it and it is fully insured for $35,000. Body: All of the original and very hard (and expensive) parts are here. The correct Sport Tone trim is present, with only minor dings. All of the chrome the chrome trim around the windows and doors are there, as well as the fender spears, rear gravel guards, center-mounted reverse light on the rear bumper, the correct “V” for the grille, and all of the trunk and rear wing trim. The bumpers are new, rechromed units and of course, this car has a full set of very hard to find Bumper Wings. The car also comes with a box of extra trim, hood ornaments, and another complete ’58 grille. The tires are also pretty new and look great. No dryrot. There is no
rust present. Some of the paint is
chipped in places, and there are a few tiny dings, but nothing that takes away
from the overall presentation of the car. The floor boards and trunk are solid
and have been rust-proofed from underneath.
As indicated before, the body is very good. It just needs someone to take it to the next
level. Fender spears and hood ornament could use a rechrome. Engine/transmission: Rebuilt 383 Big Block from a ’71 Roadrunner Matching 727 Aluminum Torqueflite trans with a mild shift kit and factory torque convertor Modified crossmember to allow use of newer transmission Correct Golden Commando motor mounts Mopar Performance Purple Cam (268/284) All new gaskets and fasteners New fuel pump and lines Dual quad setup with two Edelbrock 1406 600 CFM carbs and correct progressive Hemi style progressive linkage Correct and very rare Oval Air Cleaners for 2x4 set up with unmodified bases New Electronic Ignition including cap, rotor, plugs and wires Aluminum Water Pump New belts and hoses Factory HP exhaust manifolds with the correct gaskets with heat shields Interior: All new interior fabrics and vinyl New carpet and headliner 150MPH speedometer like the Fury which is correctly calibrated Correct radio (is not connected)
What it needs to be finished: Brakes: It needs a master cylinder. All the pedal hardware is there, as well as all the brakelines. Transmission Shifting: I have Imperial Services conversion kit to allow the use of the pushbuttons with the newer 727 trans. It just needs installed. It was a $300 setup. Or, I suppose you could rig up another system and not use the pushbuttons. Drive shaft will need to be custom-made or find one that may work from another Mopar. Exhaust System Emergency Brake or Parking lever The car is very close to being drivable. I just do not have the time to finish it. It has been a work in progress for me, but it’s ready for someone to take it to the next level. For about $2000, and some hours in the garage, this car will be running and moving and making heads turn. I do not have to sell it, so if the reserve is not met, then I will keep it. I just hate for it to sit when it’s so close to being done. You do not see these cars very often and they are not getting any easier to find, so now is your chance to own a real Christine 1958 Plymouth with ALL of the hard-to-find parts. I can assist with shipping as much as possible. I have all kinds of shop manuals and literature as well. I have tried to think of everything I know about the car. Please feel free to ask any questions. There is no warranty implied or expressed. Happy Bidding! On Jan-07-14 at 09:02:40 PST, seller added the following information:

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.

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.
