Vehicle Description
A vintage pickup turned into a street machine is already a
guaranteed to turn heads. So when you use a rare 1941 Plymouth PT
pickup as a base, and upgrade it with a true Mopar V8, you know
this is something quite special.
The Plymouth pickup is a rare sight. It was basically only a short
chapter in Chrysler's pre-war history, and it was only available at
certain dealers that didn't already have Dodge offerings. But this
truck had a lasting impression, after all, the look inspired later
Plymouths like the Prowler and (namesake) PT Cruiser. In fact, this
example is a modern update, and so they finished it in the two
colors that made those later cars famous - a deep metallic purple
and a bright metallic silver. That's a pretty cool way to tie
together the whole history, right? And while this truck is a very
updated machine, it also gets all the vintage details right. The
unique multi-part grille, fender-mounted headlights, and even the
Plymouth-script taillights all have true classic style. Plus, they
didn't forget that a classic pickup like this needs some
great-looking real lumber in the truck bed.
Inside is a terrific custom interior. The exterior two-tone is
continued on the inside of the door panels. And it's even in the
door jambs, so you know it was a total quality application. This
has more color coordination as the exterior silver returns in the
carpeting, and the purple is part of everything from the dash to
the seat piping. Plenty of glass has an open atmosphere that gave
these Mopars the "Pilot House" feeling they're known for. Plus,
you've got a great upgraded wood steering wheel, and beyond that is
a custom gauge panel.
Custom builds from all makes often utilize Chevy small-block power,
but this one has refreshingly stayed all-Mopar. Under the hood is a
318 cubic-inch V8 motor from Chrysler. It has cool presentation
with the whole block painted to match the exterior purple, and
everyone loves the sight of Mickey Thompson ribbed valve covers.
Plus, you have performance upgrades like a Holley four-barrel
carburetor and Edelbrock intake. The power is mated to a stout A727
Torqueflite three-speed automatic transmission. Besides just being
powerful, this Plymouth rides down the road nicely thanks to a
Mustang II-style independent front suspension, power steering, and
front disc brakes.
This unique pickup knows how to turn heads and tell tales. It makes
for a terrific custom, and likely your only opportunity at
something this distinct. Call now!
