Vehicle Description
Factory steel body. 350 Chevrolet, TH350 automatic, power steering,
power disc brakes. Comfortable interior with a great period look.
Proven runner that was built to drive. If you're bored with the
usual Ford coupes, this Plymouth has a lot to offer.Nobody made a
bad-looking car in 1934, and it's likely that you haven't seen a
lot of Plymouth coupes around, which makes this '34 Plymouth street
rod a great find. It's a factory steel body that hasn't been
chopped or significantly modified, which tells you just how right
the original design really was. The door handles have been shaved
along with some of the trim, but none of the car's fantastic style
has been erased. The flowing fenders look awesome (it's worth
noting that the left front fender is fiberglass simply by
necessity) but the grille is OEM and looks supremely art-deco.
Smaller headlights custom side mirrors, and '39 Ford taillight
flush-mounted on the rear fenders help with the sleek look. The
factory hood fits nicely and still uses the original hold-down
clamps for a 1930s feel. And the paint is extremely well done and
holding up nicely for a car that's been driven. It'll look great
for years to come with a modicum of care and with none of the usual
dated graphics or excessive pinstripes, it will never go out of
fashion. If you're a fan of the unusual, this Plymouth certainly
delivers.The interior honors the '30s with very art-deco stitching
in the gray cloth fabric upholstery on the original bench seat. The
door panels and headliner were stitched to match and it's nice to
see a rod built in the '90s that isn't full of inexpensive-looking
tweed fabric but rather OEM-grade materials. There's a tilt
steering column and a LeCarrera steering wheel, with the original
dashboard now filled with modern VDO instruments. Switches in the
center of the dash are well-labeled and control things like
headlights, windshield wiper, and door latches (the suicide-style
doors are also equipped with deadbolt-style safety locks). And
while we think the car is entertaining enough on its own, there's
also a modern AM/FM/CD stereo head unit over on the passenger's
side. Interesting details include the vintage spoon-style
accelerator pedal and a clever under-dash shifter that eliminates
the clunky column shifter or space-stealing floor shifter that
always looks amateurish. There's also a good-sized trunk that's
been upholstered to match the interior. This is a nicely finished
rod.Mechanically, this Plymouth doesn't break any new ground, but
that's good news because it's bulletproof reliable and lots of fun.
The 350 cubic inch Chevy is probably the most durable machine ever
created by man and runs extremely well in this sleek coupe. There's
an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor on top, an HEI distributor, and
custom headers that tuck in tight to the block. You'll also find
power steering and power disc brakes, so it's easy to handle with
no compromises. Some chrome dress-up makes it an engine bay that
you won't mind showing off and it sure does run well. Turn the key
and it fires quickly and idles nicely, and it isn't so radical that
it's a hassle to drive. It stays cool in traffic thanks to a giant
electric fan and radiator package and the TH350 3-speed automatic
transmission keeps up without ever getting in the way. The front
suspension is a Mustang II independent setup with rack-and-pinion
steering while the rear is a GM 10-bolt on leaf springs for an easy
ride. The custom dual exhaust system has enough bark for a hot rod
but it's quiet enough for longer drives. Staggered chrome wheels
add some sparkle and wear recent Firestone radials.Handsome and
unusual, this Plymouth offers a lot of value in a '34 hot rod
coupe. Compare it to even fiberglass Fords and you'll see that it's
a screaming bargain and uses most of the same parts. It's got a
wonderful '30s look and its functionality is proven, meaning you
can enjoy it without having to sort it out. Ready to go, this is a
lot of car for the money. Call now!Harwood Motors always recommends
