Vehicle Description
This 1953 Plymouth Suburban Restomod is a cool two-door wagon. And
beneath its classic-style minty green paint is a full performance
suspension, six-speed manual transmission, four-wheel disc brakes,
full custom A/C interior, and performance-built 408ci fuel-injected
V8. So this is already an awesomely attractive Mopar before you
know the celebrity connection.
Those who follow Rutledge Wood will instantly recognize this
special Plymouth. And remember, he claims that he got this car from
Richard Petty before staring the full custom build. Oh yeah, this
is one special grocery-getter. The Seafoam Green is exactly the
color you want on a sleeper like this. It's a quality application
that will have people thinking about nostalgia. And the white roof
matching the whitewalls is pure '50s cool. It's complete and
vintage, right down to the Plymouth hood ornament setting sail on
the front. So unless people pick up hints like how the stock-style
color-matched wheels are a modern size or the you turn on the LED
headlights, you can go incognito about the real power within.
The interior starts to reveal the full custom attitude. It starts
with the two rows of tan and brown two-tone seating that is far
more intricate than anything that came out of the 1950s. The
premium color on these is shared with the custom side panels,
carpeting, and center console. In total, this one has that great
uniform appearance that everyone loves to see at the car shows. But
this build was also meant to be a real cruiser, too. It has great
features to keep everyone happy on the open road, including a
Kicker Bluetooth stereo interface, cup holders, and a
well-integrated ice-cold air conditioning system. But like any good
custom classic, the best treats are reserved for the driver. The
steering wheel is wrapped to match the interior, and the factory
gauges have been refreshed with a bright backlit. And you know that
cue ball shifter is calling out for your right hand.
A cool custom Plymouth like this deserves a strong Mopar powerhouse
in the engine bay. This 408 cubic-inch V8 has been dressed to
impress with the color-matched air topper, smooth inner walls, and
a show-ready polish. This fuel-injected stroker motor came from the
performance masters at BluePrint Engines. It's built with the best
performance pieces, including Edelbrock aluminum heads, forged
pistons, hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, and a FAST FI system.
Summit headers add even more power while contributing to the rumble
of the dual exhaust. And you have complete control over this
enhanced V8 and its powerful soundtrack thanks to the T56 six-speed
transmission with a McLeod clutch and a Quick Time conversion
bellhousing. Power get to the ground via Ford 9-inch rear end with
Strange Engineering axle shafts and a Detroit Locker Truetrac
differential. And as you check out the ultra-clean undercarriage
photos, you'll also spot more upgrades like the Heids Mustang
II-style independent front end and four-link rear w/adjustable
coilovers. This great driving package is finished off with power
steering and Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes.
How often do you get an opportunity to own a famous build that was
finished to the kind of quality where it was also shown at SEMA? Oh
yes, this is a fleeting opportunity at a high-performance custom
that has a ton of press. So not only is it a celebrity build, but
also you'll be a celebrity every time you get behind the wheel.
