Vehicle Description
Such a great mix of new and classic! This 1964 Plymouth Belvedere
has a thoroughly authentic, sleeper style appearance that's sure to
bring a smile to your face and proudly wears its original colors
both inside and out. That level of visual originality is paired
with a vital powerplant holding court underneath the hood, as well
as a revamped interior you'll eagerly anticipate being surrounded
by.
Quality workmanship leaves an abundance of clues. The vibrant coat
of red paint this Belvedere is dressed in represents a skillful
freshening of its original shade and carries a very appealing
shine. All the necessary steps were taken before the first pull of
the spray gun trigger, so the overall appearance here is first
rate, with a thoroughly even texture and no signs of rust in sight.
Their unique "slant-back" configurations during this 1964's era
provided Belvederes with a singular profile, with a fairly level
roofline pairing with a sharply angled rear window area that tapers
as it meets the rear quarter panel to create a wide open, geometric
space with the windows rolled down. The entire array of chrome this
classic wears, including side trim that literally spans the length
of the car and an ornate front grille, is in top-notch condition
and the cabin is surrounded by clear glass.
The interior creatively blends elements of is original era with a
few well-executed upgrades and really looks nice. The factory-issue
red color is still represented but both the front buckets and rear
bench seats now wear fresh leather covers that provide a level of
luxury that would be out of reach in their original configuration.
The door panels to each side have been thoroughly refurbished to
match and a fresh expanse of carpet now lines the floor.
Transmission swaps that relocate the shifter to the tunnel -such as
the one this vintage Plymouth has undergone - require quite a bit
of attention to detail to come out right, and the work has been
skillfully performed here, so the white-balled lever now in place
sits within easy reach of the driver. The original AM radio
occupies its position at the center of the dash and, unlike so many
of its counterparts, it's fully functional. Just below, an
underdash climate control system has been added, and it's blowing
strong and cold to keep things comfortable inside the cabin.
Beneath the hood is an engine compartment that's been exceptionally
well-maintained, with a 383 cubic inch V8 at its center that's a
member of a class of respected engines entrusted with providing
ample power to countless Mopar products for decades. In this
setting it's surrounded by freshly painted inner fenders and
dressed in a matte black, properly badged air cleaner that
contrasts nicely with the engine's cleanly painted block. With its
4-barrel carb perched on top, the engine only recently took its
place beneath the hood, along with the accompanying smooth shifting
4-speed manual transmission, so this is a very fresh drivetrain
still at the absolute top of its abilities and an upgraded cooling
system has also been added to keep operating temperatures under
control. Power steering makes this classic easy to maneuver, while
a quartet of power disc brakes are on board to bring the set of 15"
color matched wheels wearing BF Goodrich T/A radials to prompt,
fade resistant stops. Below, the undercarriage appears solid and
well-positioned for plenty more years of enjoyment.
A top quality restoration blends with the outstanding drivability
to make this 1964 Plymouth Belvedere a first class cruiser that's
sure to turn heads on the boulevard. Call today!
