Vehicle Description
1934 Plymouth Special 6 PF Series 2 Door Sedan
Plymouth automobiles trace their origins to 1928, just 6 years
before our car was produced. It was offered as Chrysler's low
priced alternative to the high end models the brand was producing.
Interestingly, they were the highest low priced alternative but
made up for that by offering some standard options the competitors
did not include. Even during the depression, Plymouth was #3 in the
strained effort to sell cars.
For consignment, a 1934 Plymouth Special 6 PF series 2 door sedan
with a title verified 5,155 actual miles and a 355ci V8 under the
hood. Just the tip of this iceberg for this street rod that's fully
built, including a complete transmission overhaul.
Exterior
A perennial favorite recoat color, Black Cherry spills over this
flare fendered ride with all the juiciness of its fruitful
namesake, and the tinted windows are just the right touch to create
a uniform profile, clean and coordinated. All of this darkness
helps the brightwork explode off the car with contrast including
the grille, horns, headlight buckets and bumpers. The cherry on
top, or down below in this case, are the stunning 15-inch Billet
Specialties wheels with staggered size tires that contribute to a
slight rake in the stance and hint at the built drivetrain that
lurks under the skin. It's all Plymouth on the outside though, with
the name painted on each tail light and the Mayflower hood ornament
proudly lurching forward. The metal and paint are fantastic on the
car and we could not find any exterior imperfections.
Interior
Calling on the dark red exterior, a coordinated shade of purple is
used on the interior palette beginning on the bottom half of the
door panels which are topped with a gray tweed with tinges of
purple. This velour and tweed is used on the bucket seats as well
with gray inserts and purple sides and along with the back bench
and side walls, are in excellent condition. A gray leather wrapped
billet steering wheel fronts a wood backed gauge cluster housing
AutoMeter gauges in antique beige while wipers, lights, and the A/C
controls reside on a center wood panel and a Mayflower insignia is
affixed to the oval glove box which, like the rest of the dash, is
painted to match the body. The Lokar shifter rises from the floor
with a purple boot that matches the trim on the gray carpet below.
A lavender headliner surrounds a bump out for the AM/FM/Cassette
overhead mounted radio, rounding out this clean and well
coordinated interior.
Drivetrain
Behind the louvered engine covers is an engine our consignor states
is 355ci and engine number indicates it's a GM
Targetmaster/Goodwrench crate engine, this one supplied with 882
casting heads, roller tip rockers, an Edelbrock intake, and a
Holley 4-barrel carburetor. It's a clean presentation with chrome
valve covers, heat wrapped headers, and some other polished
components. And it's mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic with a
500rpm over stock torque converter, sending power to the 7 � inch
rear. Power brakes are on board to harness the horses and are
configured as front discs and rear drums. The car now runs on 12
volts.
Undercarriage
Spotless underneath where we find a polished flywheel cover, power
steering, and dual exhaust that run through clean FlowMaster
mufflers before dumping under the car. Suspension consists of coil
overs up front and leaf springs in the back. And did we mention
it's clean and dry underneath?
Drive-Ability
The V8 fires up with an impressive bellow from down below and the
cabin, not to mention the back seats, present a comfortable space
from which to enjoy this '34. She moves out well with plenty of
power underfoot and we notice touchy brakes that will lock up with
very little pressure on the pedal. Tracking straight and handling
well, the only thing we note that doesn't work are the wipers. All
other functional items, many more than would have been available in
1934, operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents
that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
Not many Plymouth P6's come through our Hallowed Halls, and this
one is a doozie. Super fine paint, deep and dark, a well
coordinated and clean interior, and a reliable V8 under the hood
makes this one a strong candidate for your next car. We know you've
been waiting for the perfect street rod to fulfill that need for
you, and this one will surely be hot on the market, so register
your interest soon!
