The Plymouth Belvedere was produced from 1954-1970 and started life as a two-door pillarless hardtop. It was the Cranbrook model’s top trim with a 118.5-inch wheelbase and sleek design. The flathead 6-cylinder engine boasted a 217.8 cu in displacement with a ratio of 7/1 and 97 hp.
The Belvedere was Plymouth’s full-sized model until the Fury was introduced in 1965, making the Belvedere the intermediate offering. The line consisted of the Belvedere I, the Belvedere II and the top-of-the-line Satellite subseries in sedans, convertibles and station wagons.
Looking like it just rolled off a 60s drag strip, this 1965 Plymouth Belvedere Coupe was built by Bob Snyder of Bob Mosher Muscle Cars. It sports a new 2003 426 Hemi crate engine and a cross-ram intake with matching Lawman tuned carburetors. The fresh transmission rebuild, 3-inch stainless steel exhaust and electronic exhaust cut-outs transform this specimen from street legal to race mode, promising a thrilling ride. The A-100 lightweight van seats, front disc brakes and beautifully done restoration in 2000 ensure it will be an enjoyable one as well.
Upping its appeal even more, this beauty is a street-legal California car. It’s ready to be proudly shown off on the road and at any car show.
