Vehicle Description
Spectacular pro-built rod for the guy with a family. Best of
everything, 100% steel bodywork, 350 Chevrolet crate motor,
automatic transmission, cold A/C, stereo, ultraleather seats by
Johnny Miller, and much more. A beautiful and unusual rod that
easily stands out in a crowd.You don't see a lot of 4-door sedan
rods out there simply because they're difficult to build if you
want something radical like the 5-inch chop on this Plymouth.
Plymouths themselves are also kind of unusual and we like the more
substantial look of this two-tone sedan compared to, say, a Ford
Model A. Like all the best rods, this one has a long list of tricks
that are virtually invisible, a testament to the builder's work and
his ability to seamlessly blend old and new. For instance, the top
was chopped five inches, but it was also filled using a 1962
Plymouth station wagon roof-check out the stiffness-adding beads
running down the center. The rear window is from a 1933 Plymouth
sedan, which is a small change that may not seem significant until
you see a stock one. There's also a custom 3-piece hood with power
assist that tilts forward at the touch of a button and a custom
fairing over the polished stainless gas tank in back. The paint is
PPG Black Violet Pearl over Viper Yellow with some custom
airbrushed graphics-nothing too radical, mind you, so it'll never
look out of date. Big commercial-style headlights suite the scale
of the car and you'll note even the running boards are steel with
subtle polished stainless reinforcements. In fact, everything that
wasn't painted was polished. Someone was minding the details when
this one went together.The interior is gorgeous Blueberry
ultraleather stitched by noted expert Johnny Miller. Custom buckets
up front make it all-day comfortable and the rear bench has been
replaced with a custom creation that emulates a pair of buckets but
fold down for storage-nice! You'll note that the paint extends to
the door jambs and the theme continues on the door panels inside,
which is a really nice touch. Gauges are by Dakota Digital, there's
a polished tilt steering column with a billet wheel, and a Lokar
shifter manages the TH400 automatic transmission underneath. A
powerful Vintage Air A/C system keeps the big interior cool on the
hottest days and entertainment comes from a hidden stereo system
featuring iPod connectivity and speakers throughout the interior.
The headliner mirrors the ribbed look of the roof for another very
cool touch, and there's plenty of stretch-out room for tall folks,
something that's not so common on street rods. Take a look at the
photos and see if you're not impressed by the workmanship.Power
comes from a 350 cubic inch Chevrolet crate motor rated at about
300 horsepower. There's an Edelbrock carburetor on top, a Mallory
electronic ignition system, and a massive aluminum radiator up
front. Everything under the hood has been polished, including the
firewall and insides of the hood sides, so you almost need
sunglasses to get a good look at the engine itself. It also runs
beautifully and has proven reliability, so don't hesitate to put
this rod on the road. The hardware underneath includes a Heidt's
crossmember and independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering,
and coil-over shocks with 2-inch drop spindles for the perfect
stance. The transmission is a TH400 3-speed automatic with a modest
2000 RPM stall torque converter and you'll note that even the
transmission case has been polished. A custom polished stainless
exhaust system was beautifully fabricated by Buscher Racing and
features a single oval exit under the passenger side running board,
and even the driveshaft and all the hard lines have been polished.
It's just beautifully detailed and shows almost zero signs of use
despite 3600 miles on the build. Out back there's a Ford 9-inch
full of 3.23 gears and a limited slip differential and it hangs on
a set of Koni coil-overs assisted by leaf springs for an easy ride.
Polished Boyd Coddington wheels look awesome and carry 205/70/14
front and 235/70/15 rear BFGoodrich T/A radials.We haven't seen
many rods detailed to this level and there's an astronomical amount
of money involved in the build. Best of all, it's totally sorted,
bulletproof reliable, and ready to cruise or show at almost any
level. If you like the idea of a little extra space and having a
car that's not like everyone else's, take a closer look at this
awesome Plymouth sedan. You can't help but be impressed. Call
