“THE ULTIMATE STREET SLED”
This rare and beautiful 1959 Plymouth Suburban Station Wagon is the ultimate street sled. It was the product of a rotisserie restoration that was completed in 2020 with less than 100 test miles. It’s in show quality condition throughout with many custom features. It retains all the original sheet metal with exception of the floors and rear lower compartment. The exterior color combination of GM Polo Green Metallic on the body and Toyota Dark Grey Metallic on the roof is stunning. The car is dressed with a custom hood scoop, tinted windows and 15” Keystone 5-spoke black wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A’s. The black and grey interior was completely redone and looks amazing. The folding rear seat allows for a completely flat cargo compartment. The engine compartment is nicely detailed and home to the rebuilt 225 6cyl with Clifford Performance Cam and Clifford Intake. It’s equipped with a Mopar 225 Twin Weber 38 fuel delivery system with Headers and Cherry Bomb muffler. The engine is coupled to a A230 3-speed manual transmission with hydraulic clutch and Mcleod hydraulic throw out bearing. The undercarriage is also nicely detailed throughout. It’s equipped with a Scarebird Classic disc brake conversion with Wilwood portioning valve and much more. Dare to compare this Plymouth Suburban to all the others that have sold or that are currently being marketed for sale.

Everything on the exterior is original and was restored such as the window trim, wipers, antenna, headlight trim, front spilt grille, door handles, rear quarter trim, tail light trim and emblems. The original front and rear bumpers were re-chromed. The side molding was custom made to look like the factory one. The car sits on new Keystone 5-spoke style black wheels that are staggered. The wheels are wrapped with new BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires that are 155-80-15 on the front and 205-60-15 on the rear. This wheel and tire combination gives the car a very era correct hot rod appearance.

The large rear view mirror is mounted to the dash which is very cool. All of the original dash trim, dash knobs, switches, gauges and radio were gone through individually.
