Vehicle Description
For sale in our St. Louis showroom is a rare 1969 Plymouth Belvedere with just 9,850 actual miles on the body! Looking inside this time capsule you'll quickly realize how well cared for this Mopar has been. The dash looks like it has never seen a fingerprint and the rest of the interior is original as well. It gets even better, the exterior red paint is original from 1969 and it still holds its gloss finish! Apart from a few dings you'd swear this is true time capsule. Originally a six cylinder, this Belvedere now offers the epitome of Mopar muscle, a 426 CID V8 Hemi. This monster power plant is backed by a 727 torqueflite automatic transmission with a 8 3/4 rearend holding 3.23 suregrip gears. The 3.23 gears are an overall great gear for both highway and performance. Suregrip was Mopar's lingo for posi-traction as they knew the car would "surley grip." Options include: AM radio, power steering, seat belts, vinyl interior, and radial redline tires. The 426 Hemi offers aluminum cylinder heads and boasts 425 horsepower plus! Helping the Hemi fire hot is an MSD ignition and coil that doesn't skip a beat. A high volume water pump helps keep this Plymouth cool while stuck in traffic or on the highway with the pedal to the floor. Yes this Belvedere was originally a 6 cylinder but what cooler thing to do than find a 9,850 mile car and throw the baddest engine Mopar offered in 1969, the Hemi. A true mileage, Hemi car of this nature would run you hundreds of thousands of dollars. We say who cares about the past? We are in the present and what lies ahead with a turn of a key is all that matters. No one can go back in time so Carpe Diem.
